Riso

Riso from the Italian house Tuttotondo is a soft, creamy gourmand floral centred on rice. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand and floral, and about half also notice musk, freshness, amber and citrus.

Rice is the unusual heart: a gentle, starchy, slightly milky and powdery note that recalls rice pudding or steamed grains. Mandarin orange gives the opening a soft, juicy brightness, raspberry a tart sweetness and ozonic notes an airy, clean-air freshness. The floral side comes from frangipani, creamy and tropical, and rose, soft and petal-like. In the base, vanilla rounds the rice into a comforting sweetness, amberwood adds a dry, radiant warmth and musk a clean, skin-like finish.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who like cosy, understated gourmands that feel more like clean skin than dessert. The profile works for spring and autumn, daytime and relaxed occasions, and it is gentle enough for the office. Those who enjoy rice, milk or skin-scent gourmands with a floral touch should find it comforting.
