Inspirations

Purple Rain draws its inspiration from the glam rock aesthetic of the 1970s, bold, flamboyant and free from conventions, while paying homage to the indelible mark left by Prince in the history of music.

Through this creation, Sylhouette offers her own interpretation of Purple Rain, a mythical ballad where love is both sweet and bitter, and where separation becomes an ultimate gesture of tenderness, a farewell whispered out of love, when letting the other go is the only way to offer them happiness.

The perfumer: Sy Truong

Sy Truong is a Vietnamese independent perfumer and the founder of Sylhouette Parfums, a perfume house that is rethinking the boundaries of olfactory art.

Born and raised in Vietnam, he discovered his calling at the age of 15, when a bottle of Alien by Thierry Mugler, given to him by his father, transformed his olfactory perception and awakened a deep passion for perfume.

Without access to perfumery schools or high-quality raw materials in his home country, Sy Truong became self-taught. He learned through intensive reading, online resources, trial and error, and began importing materials from France and the United States to master the materials and refine his technique.

His work is guided by a deeply emotional and conceptual approach: he seeks to create compositions that not only smell good, but also tell stories and provoke thought. His first fragrance, Molotov Cocktail (2023), was conceived as an artistic response to the war in Ukraine, an olfactory manifesto that explores accords of blood, metal, and burnt rubber rather than traditional beauty.

At Sylhouette Parfums, Sy Truong continues to explore bold themes of tension, contrast, memory, and poetry, incorporating intriguing materials and innovative olfactory structures. For him, perfume is a radical and personal means of artistic expression, inviting thought as much as smell.

Sylhouette Parfums

Sylhouette Parfums is an independent perfume house originating from Vietnam, founded by perfumer Sy Truong.

The brand was born from a clear desire: to offer fragrances that move away from commercial codes to explore a more personal, expressive and artistic perfumery.

Each creation is conceived as a complete sensory experience, inspired by poetry, emotions and everyday life events, rather than by the simple search for a “consensual agreement”.

Sylhouette values ​​unusual ingredients, a conscious creative approach and design integrity, without following market trends.

Sylhouette's olfactory universe is distinguished by an aesthetic that is often intense, dramatic, romantic or introspective, inviting us to connect with memories or deep sensations.
