White Rice
Regular price $ 160.00From d'Annam
A tribute to Vietnam's cultural symbol of livelihood – white jasmine rice. Found at nearly every Vietnamese meal, the humble bowl of rice has nurtured generations. This scent presents a subtly sweet aroma, harmonizing gentle softness with the rice grain's nuttiness. As you savor it, you embrace the heart of Vietnamese culture, where humble beginnings flourish into enduring strength.
From the Perfumer
"White Rice is intended as a skin scent. Rice's aroma is beautiful, yet so delicate. To emphasize its sweetness and unique essence, we incorporated milky and floral notes such as pandan, jasmine and white musk. Unlike the amorphous softness of cotton candy, rice grain has structure to it, which we underscored by adding a hint of nuttiness from orris and woody tones."

Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchasing full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full-bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
It opens sweet but dries clean with a touch of sweet, pretty soft and very longlasting (on me)
The package arrived slightly damaged but I love the bottle and scent so much. I just wish the cap was glass like the bottle and not plastic.
Love this skin scent!!!! Perfection!
Can’t use anything else- bought the full bottle.
