Perfume Pagoda is located in Huong Son (Perfume mountain) 70 km Southwest of Hanoi. Perfume Pagoda is not one temple but a cluster of temples and shrines in the general vicinity of Huong Son. The pagoda is located in Huong Son commune, My Duc district, Hanoi city.

According to the book, Huong Son Thien Tru Pha, Huong Tich temple was built during the reign of Le Chinh Hoa (1680-1705), by a monk who happened on the site on his way to search for enlightenment. Other shrines and temples were later built in this area to take advantage of the beautiful scenery in this area.
