Dirty Rice in detail
Born To Stand Out, a house founded in Seoul in 2021, likes provocative names and unexpected accords. Dirty Rice, signed by Olivier Cresp, is a good example: a fragrance built around rice, a rare material in perfumery, which Volute files among gourmands.
The official pyramid opens with bergamot and almond, a clear, soft start. In the heart, basmati rice takes the lead, warm and slightly floury, alongside peony and a note of milk, rendered here as milky notes. The base brings together sandalwood, vetiver, cedarwood, musk and Cetalox, an ambery, woody molecule.
Dirty Rice suits autumn and winter, by day or by night; its milky rice gives it a skin-like character, at once soft and intriguing.
Three gourmands in our catalogue come close: Lost Cherry by Tom Ford shares almond, sandalwood, vetiver and cedarwood; Enigma Pour Homme by Roja Parfums finds bergamot and sandalwood again; Santal Complet by Fragrance Du Bois pairs musk and sandalwood.
