I know people describe this as a skin scent but it smells like more than that to me. It's definitely a perfume that's going to sit comfortably on your skin, but it's very complex. To my nose, it has a peppery and floral top note, then transforms into a very warm, comforting musk much like the steam that comes from freshly cooked rice (as the notes suggest). The rice steam can be interpreted as a paper note as well, like having dinner while writing something on the side. I guess it could be classified as a gourmand, especially since the rice element is pretty strong to me (although there's no hint of sweetness). I haven't smelled anything like this yet, I don't think I can easily find another musk fragrance that's as warm and as interesting.
