Rituals of Dao

Discovered Rituals on my summer vacation. Dao is simple, light, and humble. It's fresh and powdery at the same time. So very relaxing. Smells like Chinese shrine surrounded by pond filled with lotuses. Love it on me when I need something inoffensive or just some peace of mind. Apparently the sillage is not bad because my friend noticed me wearing it after myself not noticing for hours. Longetivity is meh, but it's forgivable because (1) it's a body mist and (2) if it stays too long, I think it takes away the "kindness and humility".

As a sucker for lotus, this is for me beyond mesmerizing. The fresh, airy lotus is married with earthy and somewhat dirty yi yi ren. In my mind I am in a serene south-east asian shrine. Totally humble and totally unisex. I use many cosmetic products of this line, cannot wait to get the body mist. If only there was an eau de parfum... sigh...

I wish this was more available elsewhere than in Duty Free shops. The body mist smells really calming and slightly milky. Great for after shower and when you want to unwind. None of the notes are too overpowering but simply an epitome of calm, muted scent. Such a great discovery and wish there was a shop available in Australia.

Dao smells amazing. Something in it remind me of almond. It is a bit powdery and sweet but has a very clean tartness. Very special scent and I wonder what the notes are.

April 2019 Discovered the Rituals brand while traveling last summer. Saw the Rituals shop inside the Amsterdam airport. Dao was the one fragrance that grabbed me. I wore it through out our time there in June. It did the job to give a nice, light, fresh and pretty fragrance to skin that lasts many hours, more so on clothing. My only disappointments are that the fragrance only comes in one size and it does,'t last all day.
