Riz de Mangue

A wonderfully playful take on sticky rice with very minimal mango. There is definitely more of the milky notes and rice notes than there is mango but it's definitely there in a noticeable sense. Opens with the smell of starchy and freshly sticky rice with a creamy, almost savory buttery touch there. Then you get a cheeky touch of mango in sweetly fruity way. Dry down is muskier with a soft sandalwood touch, not very much mango left, and remnants of the sticky rice. If you're looking for a well done milky rice scent this is it, but if you're looking for prominent mango, look elsewhere.

This is amazing!!! On the open we have a photorealistic rice & mango that's soft, creamy & fruity with the rice lending an earthy cereal grain quality that's so unique. As it's drying down, the milk & rice leans a bit more vanilla and the mango skirts peach territory in such a way that it almost reminds me a little bit of a fruitier version of DedCool's Mochi Milk which is a favorite of mine. This was a blind buy and I really feel like I lucked out! It's so interesting and different while still being truly delightful, easy and approachable.

loooove this scent so much omg. i usually go for fresh scents but the mango sticky rice concept intrigued me and there was no way i could resist. this is such a cute little gourmand. at the beginning i definitely get sweet, juicy mango but it’s pretty fleeting. after the dry down i get a very sweet warm scent almost like a creamy caramel/vanilla and maybe a bit of starchiness from the rice. just a super pleasant smell and i’m obsessed with the color of the liquid <3

I hate that this is limited edition—because it’s sooo good. I’ve been on the hunt for a gourmand I enjoy (since I usually don’t like them), and I finally found it. The opening hits with a tropical, sweet, sticky, starchy mango. Although I see the mango sticky rice vision, on my skin, it leans more like vanilla cookies soaked in milk, with a hint of mango in the background. It’s not overly cloying, which I appreciate. Grabbing a backup bottle.

This is delicious, probably the best mango gourmand I’ve tried from any mainstream brand, but I’m so sad about its longevity! I should have known that a water-based formula wouldn’t last nearly as long. But the scent itself, you really can’t beat. It’s a bowl of mango sticky rice in a bottle and has a beautiful powdery clean note somewhere along the base. Strongly recommend for those who love fruity yet not overtly sweet scents.
