Rice Body Care Douglas 2009

A few things upfront:

1. I like it sweet.
2. I'm a fan of rice pudding.
3. My nose is certainly not as spoiled as some others here. :o)

When you sniff the bottle of "Rice Body Care," you can clearly smell the rice note; even the first minute after spraying it on, it is very present. Then it almost completely disappears. If you know that rice is in there, you can still sense it, but otherwise probably not - at least not on my skin (thankfully) not. The scent is then sweet, soft, vanilla-like, cozy, and slightly powdery. I don't find it that synthetic; I've encountered worse. Of course, it's not a masterpiece, and if spoiled noses have a problem with this EdT, I can definitely understand that. I even have to admit that I've never worn this scent when going out among people, and maybe I never will. But what kind of scent is it that you can't even wear for shopping and yet I still like it? I'll tell you:

This is my comfort scent on cold and rainy days. My loyal companion when I snuggle up in a blanket on the sofa (or straight into bed). By the way, the scent seems to enjoy being cozy and warm too. When testing it without a sweater or blanket, it didn't really develop on my skin at all. Then, after snuggling in bed for 3 minutes, there it is: mhhhh, so cozy and delicious!

Sure, there will be prettier, better, and higher quality scents for this purpose, but for the little money, you really don't need to feel guilty. The scent is a "wet sprayer" (be careful if you test it) and therefore maybe not so economical, but the price-performance ratio is still good. Yesterday I sprayed it on around 9 PM, and this morning when I got up (5 AM), I could still perceive it very clearly. I will definitely get the hand cream to go with it, which has already been praised multiple times here.
