Red Jasmine Rice
Fragrance notes
Character
Violet leaf and spearmint cut through the air with a crisp, garden-fresh snap. Pine and hinoki add a dry, resinous wood that feels grounded and calm. Black tea brings a steeped, slightly tannic bitterness that keeps the florals from feeling soft. Jasmine sambac and jasmine sit beside rice, creating a starchy, floral blend that smells like a bowl of grains left near a blooming plant. Carrot adds an earthy, slightly sweet root note that feels unusual in a perfume this woody. Bergamot and yuzu offer a bright citrus flash that fades into the background quickly. Labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla create a warm, amber-like blanket that rests over the green notes. Oakmoss and patchouli lend a damp, soil-like depth that anchors the lighter elements. Amyris rounds the edges with a smooth, woody creaminess.
A walk through a damp forest path in early autumn captures the mood here, with fallen leaves and cool air meeting warm resin underfoot. The scent feels handmade and a bit raw, leaning into natural materials rather than polished mainstream appeal. It suits someone who enjoys smelling plants and woods in their honest state, not a clean or office-ready version of nature. The blend sometimes feels crowded, with too many green and earthy notes competing at once. The carrot and rice combination can read as slightly savory in a way that may not appeal to those seeking a pure floral or a clear gourmand. The overall mix lacks a clear directional focus, shifting between tea, wood, and flower without settling on a single identity.
