Sweet Farewell

A perfect, deliciously oven-crisp tuile biscuit somehow confected from brown, lightly caramelised sugar, rice flour toasted just right to immaculate nuttiness, and well-bronzed grated coconut brought to the ideal point between raw and burnt. By far the sweetest, brownest, and most gourmand of Prin's amazing suite of things in this area (Sweet Celestials, Chokedee, Lom Hom Khao Hom) - and for that reason, the most surprisingly delicious to me, as anything this edible-seeming often puts me off. Here, no problem whatsoever - there's enough rasp of darker woodiness and leafiness to offset the sweet-tooth baked goodness, and make it un-cliched and enjoyable even if coconut cake is usually a demon to you. It's deeply comfortable and gentle natured, yet never gets too cute. Vanilla fortunately held in check, and while it's very perceptibly there, not allowed to dominate entirely. The toasted rice note at the top is absolutely amazing - strongest for the first 45 minutes or so: its impression of freshly-heated grains in a pan is just incredible - a triumph of cereal imitation in scent. So much so that it's a shame it dies back later on - and yet it's still something to rejoice in even many hours later, when a slight rise in your body temperature can bring it back from slumber to surge back with more force. Ebony wood note gives it a kick of almost-clove, almost-pepper to play with. Longevity overall is impressive at 10h+ and its initial presence is bossy - well across a room - for anyone with vanilla-boosting skin chemistry. Does better yet on skin that's well moisturised rather than dry. Just wonderful for a cold winter's day in the north, to remind you that warmer, mellower spaces exist it in this world; or for anyone anywhere seeking a coconut-centric experience that doesn't lapse into beach-lotion cliche. This one, instead, asks the question: Prin Lomros, master parfumeur or king patissier? On the basis of Sweet Farewell, he'd fare just as well on either career track, with his great nose, fine palate and cool hand. Very finely judged indeed.

Really annoys me that people keep saying it’s a winter scent when this needs ur hot sweaty body to cook it right. I have rejected it all through these last few colder months bc it smells so synthetic in the cold. I started wondering if I was delusional in my love for it when I bought it last summer. Or if my bottle got rotten. I’ve bought way too many full bottles recently and started getting paranoid that they’d go bad before I even get to enjoy them but no I was wrong it just needed heat. Super hot days here lately so I tried it and the smell I love came back to me. The palm leaves are super strong on me and that’s what makes this the perfect tropical scent to me that isn’t a mango or pineapple bomb. And those are my favorite fruits but cannot stand them in perfume. Funny that I say that tho bc I used to mix this with salted green mango from the same person who made this and the combo was so gorgeous but that’s bc that mango smells much greener and like not fully ripe and that restrains it’s sweetness. But yeah U should try mixing them

What a lovely surprise! The initial blast was a little greener and less dessert-like but it settles into such a warm coconut rice scent. Desserts from east Asia typically aren’t super sweet like you’d find in the west and I would say this stays true to that. In the dry down I detect a soft salty lime and coconut note, almost like BBW’s coconut lime verbena but much softer and better executed. While the notes make it seem like it’d be really similar to chokedee, they’re completely different. Chokedee is much heavier, with all the notes blending together to smell like a beach artificial banana (again, not entirely a bad thing but just not what I was expecting) and it dries down to a very strong white floral. Sweet Farewells is a much lighter dessert smell, with the green freshness coming through and coconut and rice delicately sweetened by some palm sugar. I ended up purchasing a full bottle after sampling it. Love!

Sweet farewell is Sweet slightly green and creamy fragrance mostly from coconut,Pandan leaves ,vanilla and rice very delicated ,comforting and light almost skin scent to me this is more like a coconut rice pudding that kind of smell that will calm and comfort you. But very much different than Chokedee even they both have some notes that similar but Chokedee is basically steamed coconut sticky rice(bread flower note in this fragrance its name Chommanard in Thai smell basically just like steamed rice)with jasmine water and pandan Leaves is basically more depth,more floral and last longer than sweet farewell. I am in honor to owned both and compared them side by side ,their both lovely and smell very yummy for a Thai dessert lover like me LoL! So this is my no calorie treats.

I instantly loved the sample! However, the first couple of times I tried it, it didn’t last very long so I decided not to buy a full bottle. After revisiting it, it now has a more longevity??? Now I’m definitely going to buy a full size to be my summer fragrance (although I feel like it can be worn in any season). To me, it smells like steamed white rice with creamy toasted coconut including the woodiness of the husk and baking in the sun next to the ocean. I’ve been looking for a coconut fragrance that reminded me of the beach and didn’t smell like sunscreen, and this is it!
