Vietnamese Herbal Ritual

Build your own blend

Choose your herbs

HIÊN arranges Vietnamese botanicals after the character of the three regions — North, Central and South — so that each choice also opens a story about that land.

Before you choose, our reception will walk you through where each herb comes from, what it does, and how Vietnamese people once used it to care for their health, their hair and their skin.

Would you like to begin in the North, the Central or the South?
Or touch and smell them yourself, combining the ones you love — so that today's pot of herbs carries a mark only you have?

What sets HIÊN apart

You can create an experience that is yours alone

At HIÊN, every choice is part of the ritual. From the herbs and the hair wash to the mask and the massage oil — you choose by hand what suits your body, your skin and how you feel.

Choose your steam herbs

Lemongrass, cinnamon, star anise, holy basil… familiar Vietnamese scents that let the body loosen and the mind settle. Choose by the scent you love, or let the HIÊN team suggest one for what your body needs today.

Choose your herbal hair wash

Soapberry, false daisy, pomelo peel… ingredients long present in the Vietnamese way of caring for hair, cleansing the scalp and leaving hair strong and naturally glossy.

Choose a mask for your skin

Rice bran to brighten, green tea rich in antioxidants, coix seed to hydrate — chosen for what your skin needs, so each treatment fits and treats it gently.

Choose your massage oil

Each floor at HIÊN carries a region and a scent of its own. You may choose a massage oil in tune with the region you wish to experience, so that the space, the scent and every movement of the massage tell one whole North–Central–South story.

Signature scents

A signature scent for each floor

Scent is the first thing you notice on each floor — and the last thing to leave you after HIÊN.

Floor 1 · The North

Pomelo blossom

Clear, light, faintly sweet — the scent of pomelo blossom carried through Hanoi streets in March.

Floor 2 · The Central

Jasmine

Pure, low and deep — evoking Hội An evenings under lantern light.

Floor 3 · The South

Pandan leaf

Cool, green and familiar — the scent of orchards and slow southern rivers.
