Champaca • Ormonde Jayne

The basmati rice note sounded odd to me until I actually wore it — now it's the soft, warm thing that lingers after the champaca fades. Lasts a solid six hours on my skin without ever getting loud.

I've never smelled anything quite like the basmati rice note in this — it's soft and almost creamy, but the green tea keeps it from getting heavy. Wore it to a spring wedding and got three compliments before dinner.
