d'Annam White Rice is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Anh Ngo. White Rice opens with Basmati Rice and Pandanus, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Orris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. d'Annam's White Rice carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

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.

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.

About

White Rice opens with a soft, starchy whisper of basmati, laced with the sweet, green caress of pandanus. This gentle introduction quickly settles into a heart of powdery orris and delicate jasmine, before melting into a musky, subtly woody base of cedar and sweet tonka bean. It's an intimate, skin-close composition where the rice is a fleeting ghost, replaced by a clean, cosmetic-like musk.
