Vanilla Éclat

I’m not sure why, but I’ve always avoided perfumes with a rice note. This composition does indeed open with an accord of cooked rice, which fades very quickly. The rice is accompanied by a touch of acidity, I’m not certain whether it’s bergamot or perhaps buttermilk. After a while, the scent becomes sweeter, with notes of caramel, a buttery accord and vanilla. It is sweet, but not gourmand. The base is a very pleasant combination of woody notes and vanilla. The fragrance is pretty, but it doesn’t quite convince me. Longevity on my skin is also disappointing, after two hours I can only smell it on my jumper, and the projection stays close to the skin.
