Milk-based fragrances seem to be a thing of the past. Now, the talk is all about rice perfumes: delicate and fresh, they often evoke a sense of calm. Perfect for any occasion, rice fragrances are quickly becoming the favorites of those looking for something natural and light.
What are rice perfumes like?
Rice perfumes have a unique fragrance that combines delicacy and naturalness in a perfect blend. The main notes resemble talcum powder, with that soft, fresh feeling that reminds us of something clean and comforting. But there’s more! Beneath this delicacy, subtle earthy and herbaceous accents give the fragrance depth. And then there’s that special touch, as described by The Perfume Guy, which evokes the steam rising from cooking rice—a warm, enveloping scent that makes you feel at home. It’s a fragrance that is never overwhelming, but rather accompanies you with a sense of comfort throughout the day.
The best rice perfumes
If you're looking for the perfect rice fragrance, here are some of the most beloved ones. White Rice by d'Annam is a unisex fragrance, fresh and delicate, with notes of rice, iris, and jasmine, reminiscent of jasmine rice. The notes of white musk, tonka bean, and cedarwood add a warm, enveloping touch. Eau Papier by Diptyque is a unisex woody fragrance with a musky, floral, and talcum undertone. While evoking the freshness of rice, it has a sweeter scent than White Rice by d'Annam. Taipei by One Day is a unisex woody and musky fragrance. It features a unique blend of top notes of soy milk, rice, and taro, capturing the essence of Asian cuisine. Dirty Rice by BORNTOSTANDOUT is a unisex fragrance with top notes of almond and bergamot, developing into a heart of basmati rice, milk, and peony. It’s a sweet scent that reminds of rice-based desserts. Sogni by Meo Fusciuni is an oriental-woody unisex fragrance. With top notes of rice, tatami, bamboo, and pine, it evolves into a heart of incense and cedarwood. As Cammy Reviews describes in her review, Sogni by Meo Fusciuni evokes three stages of rice: raw rice with its initial freshness, the steam of cooked rice, which gives a warm and enveloping feeling, and toasted rice, adding a deeper, smokier note.
