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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

This perfume screams casual and unique fun, with its strong gourmand profile making it less suitable for formal or office settings. It's a great conversation starter for a casual date, but the 'not really perfume-y' vibe limits its versatility for more traditional occasions.

About

Very Bad Rice opens with a peculiar, almost tart mango, quickly evolving into a creamy, lactonic dream. Imagine a comforting, slightly starchy basmati rice pudding infused with sweet ube and a sun-kissed, natural mango. Coconut and a hint of sugar cane sweeten the dry down, creating a surprisingly wearable, savoury yet juicy tropical treat. It's an extrait, so it wraps you in this unique scent bubble for hours.
