d.grayi Pandan is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by James Nguyen. Pandan opens with Coconut and Bread, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Pine, Vanilla, and Waffle. d.grayi's Pandan carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Pandan is a playful, offbeat gourmand where bread, coconut and waffle meet sandalwood and pine. It is odd in a good way and a fun pick if you are bored of the usual vanilla.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Pandan opens with bread and coconut, an unusual and rather edible start that sets the tone straight away. The heart brings pandanus and sandalwood, adding a creamy, slightly green and woody softness to the bakery theme. The base is waffle and vanilla with a touch of pine, so the sweetness ends warm and sugary while the pine keeps it from getting too heavy. This is a quirky unisex gourmand from d.grayi for people who like their fragrance with personality. It is cosy and sweet but not ordinary, and it will not be for everyone.
