What does Dirty Rice smell like?

The top notes are almond and bergamot: the almond brings sweetness while the bergamot lightens the start. In the heart, milk, peony and basmati rice settle into a creamy, powdery surface. The base of vetiver, cedar and sandalwood lays down a woody floor, with musk smoothing it out.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with business use close behind. In character votes, feminine leads and modern comes second. Perfumes with a close profile include Comptoir Sud Pacifique Éclats d'Amandes and L'Erbolario Mandorla.
