Mango Sticky Rice EDP 50ml

Mango Sticky Rice pays homage to Thailand’s most beloved dessert, enjoyed for generations at temple fairs and family gatherings. This scent celebrates the harmony of juicy mangoes, tender sticky rice, and creamy coconut milk. An exquisite dish that embodies the sweetness of Thai hospitality.

“Our interpretation of Mango Sticky Rice is built on balance. It avoids the typical syrupy mango wrapped in synthetic amber musks. Instead, the fragrance offers a lighter, more refined composition. The opening is bright and fresh with ripe mango, while the dry down settles into a creamy, fresh base, perfect for spring and summer.” – Perfumer + Creative’s note.

HOW IT WEARS 
All of Mango Sticky Rice’s notes are apparent on the very first spray: a pulpy, vivid mango grounded by a more savoury rice. The dry down, as the name promises, is sticky, and lingers, but closer to the skin. The effect upon the fragrance’s settling is something like a very expensive, luxurious cream: comforting, soft, bright (mango is a very ‘clean-smelling’ fruit! Almost spa-like). This is aided perfectly by the hint of coconut milk – lactonic and lightly floral, without any twinge of sunscreen or astringent huskiness – that threads through and unites the fruity mango juice and the earthier rice. 

LORE LOVES 
This fragrance captures the dessert compliment par excellence: it’s “not too sweet!” As in, hard to get sick of. It dances incredibly nimbly between categories ‘photorealistic gourmand’, ‘clean-skin-scent’ and ‘tropical holiday’, without trying too hard or taking itself too seriously. This ambiguity makes it addictive, more mysterious than one might expect. For this reason, it’s the perfect signature scent: laid-back enough to chuck on for work and errands, uplifting enough for a summer cocktail night, and luxe enough for something more sophisticated. A true chameleon!

ABOUT THE BRAND
d’Annam is a fine fragrance house from Vietnam – in fact, its name means just that: “from Vietnam”. 
After noticing how Western brands were dominating the fragrance market, founder Nick Hoang decided to be the change he wanted to see. What resulted was a brand that celebrates the many diverse cultures of Asia, reflecting their rich heritages and unique points of view. d’Annam is Hoang’s way of amplifying Asian voices and honouring their time-honoured perfume making traditions – many of which long pre-date the Western ones. 
d’Annam releases their fragrances in chapters, each an homage to a different Asian country. 
The first was Enchanting Vietnam, a love letter to Hoang’s homeland, dedicated to the smells and scenery of his upbringing. Second came Chapter 2: Memoires of Japan, one of Hoang’s favourite places to visit, inspired by the memories he created on his travels. Third, Chapter 3: Majestic China, an ode to one of the great cradles of civilisation, vast and luminous. For Chapters 2 and 3, Hoang consulted with cultural experts and perfumers from those countries in order to paint the most authentic and reverent pictures of those places. 
Combining tradition with innovation, each d’Annam creation is more than a fragrance, it’s a piece of art, a narrative, a memory. 
d’Annam fragrances are cruelty free in accordance with the European IFRA standards, they are vegan, and do not test on animals.
