Chokedee (โชคดี)

SUPER floral-heavy in the opening, then dries down to smell like a flower milk bath. Very different. It's a little elegant but also kind of raw - like roughly cut white flowers, the green bitterness of the stems and all; it's not grassy but it reminds me of the smell of freshly cut grass (that bitter vegetal smell). Cloudy starchy rice pudding sweetened with raw cane sugar, tamed with the lactonic note of coconut milk. It's youthful, fresh, vibrant, a touch offensive for a white floral, just enough to replace the offensiveness with intrigue. I'm picky with my florals but this one I would wear. It has a lot of mystery. Post-edit: Purchased a full bottle. This fragrance is wearable art. Masterpiece.

this is such a beautiful rice pudding adjacent fragrance but not in a way that’s overtly foody. It opens floral forward with sweet jasmine and tropical fragipani. As this develops the vanilla and pandan pick up and it’s a green and earthy sweetness. The coconut and rice notes blend to make that rice pudding like aroma and with an added sandalwood it’s creamy, smooth, and sweetly powdery. The dry down is more woody forward with a sweet cashew note and a dry blend of cedar and vetiver. The green and airy floral sweetness still permeates into the dry down, it’s a beautifully woody, sweet, milky and earthy gourmand with notes of florals. Love this one a ton!

I didn't notice the sticky rice when I was using the sample, but after I bought the full bottle I notice it every time. I initially purchased because of the gorgeous tropical florals! So beautiful and bright, yet also very creamy. There's coconut running through them and now the lightly sweet, nutty sticky rice as well. But those flowers, wow. They are a delight. An instant mood lifter for me. Sillage is pretty good and I wouldn't wear more than two sprays of this or you'll be choking on it. Dries down to a comforting vanilla-coconut hug with a hint of green banana. This will probably become my signature scent.

I am seriously wondering if people who hate this fragrance and used all kind of wacky descriptors to review it got their samples mixed up. Leather boot? Ashtray??? What the hell... Dear Polly and Nightclubbing are ashtrays, not this. How dare you! Despite it not being an ashtray (I am a big fan of ashtrays), I adore this. Chokadee is sweet and creamy, lightly dusty, and delightfully floral. Rice is there, coconut is there, frangipani as well, and it all smells fantastic together! This lovely fragrance was such a nice discovery. Unfortunately, I only had a tiny dabber with like 0.1 ml in it. I already miss it.

On my big rice note quest, I came across Chokedee. It's everything I wanted from Moonlight in Heaven by Killian, which was a little too impressionistic, soapy, and less photorealistic. This smells like a heaping platter of mango sticky rice with banana fritters eaten in a garden of blooming yellow florals. There's also a bit of Banana Boat in here, but the artificiality doesn't faze me at all. It's so cheerful for a gloomy fall day and has become a perfect turtleneck perfume for me. Move over, unassuming amber/warm vanilla sugar-type scents. Chokedee is perfect!

SO FUCKING GOOD. I cannot understate enough how much this smells like a sweet creamy south east asian dessert. It reminds me of hot humid evenings eating mango sticky rice and pandan jelly with family. Despite it starting quite floral (that delicious tropical frangipani note) the sticky rice really stands out and just feels like a warm hug from home

According to Luckyscent, this is Prim Lomros's take on sweet sticky rice. You do indeed get rice and nuts up front, mixed with coconut and white florals. After about half an hour, the primary notes I'm getting are coconut and jasmine. At that point it smells rather like a beach scent to me. I think it's beautiful and interesting.

YES!!! What is this wizardry?? Perfect creamy tropical sticky rice dessert. Not what I thought I wanted to smell like, but here we are. I can see this working in any season, honestly. Comforting and uplifting in the cold, tropical and blooming in the heat. Makes me sooo happy to smell this!!

love this. A sweet creamy cozy warm jasmine floral somewhat beachy/tropical fragrance. I bought a bottle. As someone who cooks rice and sticky rice almost every other day, I can say it doesn't smell too much like rice. Maybe faintly in the background, but you have to search for it.

Oh, this is GOOD. It's a super realistic scent of rice pudding. I get notes of pandan and banana, which I usually stray away from but it brings a lot of warmth to the perfume. Immediately adding it to the "perfumes I want" list.

Beautiful rice, frangipani, coconut and sweet banana scent. The banana isn’t listed but it’s what I smell. I think the person below who said it’s leather got their samples mixed up. This is bright and sweet. <3

Chockedee smells like J'adore went on a wild vacation to Thailand... She lost her passport, and now, inexplicably, has a banana tattoo on her inner thigh. I want every vacation to smell like this.

So beautiful and interesting. I get the sweet rice, coconut, floral right away. Like nothing I’ve ever smelled in a good way. I purchased a full bottle after a sample. Creamy, fruity, tropical...

Big fan, summer in a bottle. Mango and sticky rice, coconut milk and some dryness of the vetiver to balance it out. This isn't a true gourmand to me as the freshness keeps it so bright and airy.

Toasted rice coconut and at first spray banana. I get hay on the dry down. It has a strong floral component but the rice softens what can some times be harsh on me. It’s so unique and beautiful

Favorite gourmand of all time.

Incredibly photorealistic pandan smell. Insane. At first spray, strong, strong pandan leaf smell. I saw someone comment it smells like violet, and I kind of get that - the pandan leaf does sometimes give off a bit of a violet petal vibe. The pandan leaf smell doesn't persist for very long. Later on, you get more coconut rice (gives a bit of salted-coconut-rice dessert vibes), and as someone who lives in Southeast Asia, this is accurate. I don't get tea or jasmine or cashew. Projection: Strong Longevity: Average to good

Got a 1ml sample of this one. This one is super unique; I was not expecting it to smell how it does. From the top its VERY nutty, like in an uncooked or maybe toasted rice kind of way. It's a little sweet and a little floral with some coconut, but it is very predominantly nutty. I don't really know how else to describe it. Not for me but a really interesting and pretty fun scent. Haven't smelled anything like this one before.

Sweet sticky rice desert. Gosh. It’s just like Prin intended - sweet sticky rice. Legend! Beautiful - photorealistic and wearable. Not a huge stinker but that’s alright. Prins done it again. If you like gourmand like this it’s a safe blind buy. Edit: Whilst not super strong as a balloon it managed to perform 18 hours overnight and even after a shower. Prin = respect

I agree that the perfume has a gorgeous tropical flower, but the sticky rice and bread note is not for me. I keep noticing not the rice, but rather the popcorn or bread. It's cozy, interesting, very unique but I do not enjoy the scent that smell like a poke bowl. To others, it may be likeable, but to me it's just ok and not very versatile!
