Rice flower scents!

[Aviatrix]

Hello all

 

I have recently fallen in love with rice flower as a scent, and now I am trying to find all the BPALs I can with that note.

So far I already have Plovers Above the Waves, which is not super rice flower on me.

 

I read about Diwali, but was wondering if anyone could elaborate on how the rice flower note is in that one?

 

Any other recommendations will be most welcome

Diwali is beautiful. It's a really mild, soft skin scent, almost like rice pudding, but without being foodie. It's one of my favorites. A great one for summer, because it's not overpowering in the least.

Yay! Judging from the notes it sounds lovely, too. I should probably give it a try - I love anything rice related

I've actually recently been looking for scents with the exact same element/elements! Tamamo-no-Mae is the most pure/straightforward rice flower scent I've worn from BPAL, I think--it can come across a bit soft peachy on my skin, and there's a very soft and gentle element of incense/sandalwood, but to me most of the other notes seem to play into and enhance the impression of rice flower (with a hint of rice candy, like the ones you can get in most Chinatowns). I'd be really curious to hear what other recs people come up with.

Thank you so much for that recommendation, it sounds truly lovely!

I guess it can be a bit hard to find, but I have seen it come up on the sales pages often enough!

I participated in a Lilith decant circle and tried My Baby & a Baby Goat which is like a rice flower, foodie scent. I adore it - it's cozy and cuddly and perfect as a winter foodie scent for me because it makes me want to curl up under the covers with a good book. I definitely want to try more rice flowers based on this now.
