About
The longtime Beauty Director at InStyle Magazine and Women’s Wear Daily, Dang’s passion for perfume can be traced to her childhood in Saigon, where her mother introduced her to the French classics: Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent.
Interviewing legendary perfumers in her capacity as a beauty journalist, and studying with Master Perfumer Ron Winnegrad at International Flavors & Fragrances in New York City crystalized Dang’s vision.
In 2009, Dang met Roberts - a Cape Town transplant who trained as a sommelier and also had a nose for fine bouquets. They married and launched their North American fragrance sales & distribution company KVDAR Inc. Twelve years later, the pair debuted VAN DANG Fragrances at Bergdorf Goodman.
