The quintessential rice fragrance
I stumbled into a mild obsession with rice fragrances after adding l'eau Papier to my Diptique order on a whim & falling in love with it. Since then, I've spent countless hours digging into reviews of fragrances with rice notes on parfumo, YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit. I'm so thankful that I did because I found Poesie Soft, which is I think my favorite fragrance of all time.
The rice note is immediately identifiable, somehow it is warm and savory, while at the same time there is a hint of sweetness. The sweet note is soft and creamy - it reminds me of rice milk, and to me the sweetness slowly becomes the prominent aspect of the fragrance. This sits close to the skin and each time I take a deep inhale to smell it strongly the savory aspect of the rice steps forward again.
I have also enjoyed trying different layering combinations with this, but it is absolutely divine on it's own. Also, it's the best bedtime fragrance period.
