Something magical is hiding in the plain sight of the One Day Perfume Taipei, the newest release in the Ethos of Cities collection.
I have been looking forward to trying it as rice dominant scents have been spotted amongst new releases of 2023-2024 few times by moi. And I have to say I freaking love that! As rice is quite daring ingredient for creating that soft gourmand vibe without the final results being yet another candy or vanilla.
Taipei is so far the third fragrance in my collection that is revolving around the savouriness of the rice. Thick and dense aroma of steamed milk at the start made me hungry on a first whiff. Now, weeks later, I still manage to salivate and crave Bubble Tea when I wear it. If you are tea junkie like me, you will know what I mean once you try it.
Taipei is essentially a photorealistic scent of steaming hot soy milk and with dash of cooler iris notes. Ones that are responsible for the sparkling vibrant sillage of Taipei. The base is creamy sandalwood notes and all that connects it top to base is the impeccably recreated note of white rice. I have no idea how taro smells. Simply because I never had it as food. However, if it tastes like Taipei smells, it will be hard for me to stay away from it.
I have tested Tapiei it in various weather and the end result is always the same. I want to wear it more. The smoothness of the One Day Perfume Taipei blend and vibrant play of warm and cool accords on my skin. Just perfect!
