Sweet coconut rice
I blind bought Sweet Celestials over Sweet Farewell initially, because I couldn’t find any testers and read it was sweeter than Sweet Farewell. It isn’t! These are two massively different scents, despite the notes appearing similar.
Sweet Farewell is more mass appealing, opening with a blast of sweetness from the coconut sugar. The vanilla then quickly joins in, followed by the coconut and rice. This is much sweeter than Sweet Celestials! As it dries down further, I get coconut rice and, while it isn’t listed, a slight hint of creamy fig. I ended up buying this one as much prefer it to Sweet Celestials! It’s gorgeous all the way through and maintains its sweetness, with no nasty hidden surprises. 10/10 for the scent.
Sweet Celestials is a LOT more complex, unique and an acquired taste. It opens with a strong, bright, fresh, leafy, young green banana type of vibe. The rice note joins in and it does smell as though the rice is wrapped in the leaves. I do smell a hint of Lemongrass briefly, although not listed. These opening notes do soften and sit in the background after a few minutes. The rice becomes a bit stronger and starchy, and the sandalwood and musk appear. I actually quite enjoyed the scent up to now, however ….. in the far dry down any sweetness has disappeared and you're left with the scent of savoury rice/food, which becomes a lot stronger as it warms on your skin. It’s interesting, but I absolutely wouldn’t have bought it had I been able to test it first. 10/10 for originality, 7/10 for the majority of the scent…. 1/10 for the far dry down which makes this completely unwearable for me.
If you like sweet rice fragrances, definitely go for Sweet Farewell. If you like the sound a savoury rice with green vanilla, then go for Sweet Celestials.
