WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?

Jasmine Rice is an amber rice scent with a floral shade of tea. Jasmine rice is a staple in every Vietnamese household and I wanted to create a composition that celebrates it. This scent encapsulates a nostalgic experience of coming home to the smell of freshly cooked jasmine rice alongside brewed black tea.

The jasmine rice is from tinctures I make myself and it comes through as a comforting warm fuzzy texture that I is so addictive. I use rice tincture a lot in many composition and the first time I included it in a piece is when I was created Alter Oud (which was nominated for an award, yay!)

For Jasmine Rice I wanted this scent to be a different experience so I included materials that are grown in Vietnam that I got when I visited my perfumer friend Sy in Saigon last year. Jasmine Sambac and Benzoin became a great addition to the tincture. I am so happy to work with materials that are grown in Vietnam because the Jasmine and Benzoin I usually work with is from India and Indonesia. Each region where the plant grows have different nuances that shines through uniquely in a composition so this was so fun for me! The addition of Jasmine Sambac adds a floral tea-like experience to the rice texture while the benzoin creates a sweet complexity experience to the dry down.
