Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, fleeting, and overhyped, White Rice struggles to live up to its name. Many rave about its cosy opening, but its disappointing longevity and quick dry-down to a generic musk leaves most wanting more from this 'rice-forward' scent.
This is Talco, plain and simple. If you're after a sophisticated take on baby powder, New Notes delivers exactly that. It's polarising, with some finding it a comforting, clean dream and others dismissing it as too literal and, frankly, overpriced for what it is.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate projection and clean, musky drydown make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it's unlikely to offend. However, its poor longevity and subtle nature make it unsuitable for situations where you want your fragrance to make a statement.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent longevity and sillage mean a light hand is needed, making it less ideal for enclosed office spaces or formal events. However, its clean, comforting profile makes it perfect for casual wear, especially at home, and it's even described as a 'perfect after-gym perfume' by some.
