About

Rice pudding is a gourmand accord, not a distilled material. It is the plain rice note with a dessert built on top of it: milky and creamy from the lactonic body, sweet from vanilla and sugar, and dusted with warm baking spice. The starchy, faintly nutty grain that plain rice carries stays underneath and stops the accord reading as straight vanilla custard.

Scent Profile

Rice Pudding smells of sugar and vanilla first, the sweet layer that separates it from plain rice. A milky, cooked-cream body runs almost as strong beside it. Underneath sits a starchy, nutty grain note that keeps the accord from turning into straight custard. A dusting of cinnamon spice sits on top.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

There is no rice pudding oil. Perfumers build the note from lactones for the milk, vanillin and sugar-type sweeteners for the body, and a cinnamon facet for the spice, over a starchy grain accord. The Parfum Apothecary sells a rice accord as "grainy, warm, starchy, lightly herbal and spicy", and Oak Manor Fragrances says rice milk and rice pudding are "more overtly gourmand" than plain rice and "may include vanilla, coconut, lactonic notes, cinnamon or sugar".

Usage in Perfumery

Used in the heart and base of cosy gourmands, where it does the job of a milk-and-vanilla accord that is not simply custard. DefineMe's Nearly Noon pairs the "spiced warmth of rice pudding" with sandalwood and vanilla.
