In Vietnamese culture, pomelo blossom is among the rare flowers to be savored both as scent and flavor. It sweetens syrups, desserts like chè, and traditional dishes as a uniquely aromatic ingredient. Grandmothers and mothers would steep the blossoms for hair and bath-water, a gentle fragrance threading through hair and skin-binding childhood memories to bloom. Quietly, pomelo blossom has lived in our daily rituals, imprinting sight, smell, and taste across generations.
Pomelo Blossom Sorbet is KIRA’s tribute to that beauty: a quintessential white-floral accord that’s unsyrupy and not overtly girlish-cool, sheer, and crystalline, like an early-summer morning when clusters of blossoms have just opened, their scent drifting across the veranda.
Through Pomelo Blossom Sorbet, we hope to share the memory of a beloved flowering season deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture. It is also a creation for white-floral devotees seeking a novel, refreshing facet in their colorful fragrance journey.
