BORNTOSTANDOUT® | Dirty Rice | Eau de Parfum
Dirty Rice is a beautifully subversive, hyper-sensual skin-scent fragrance from the provocative South Korean niche house BORNTOSTANDOUT®. Marketed audaciously as a "dirty and sticky skin scent," the fragrance is an olfactive exploration of unfiltered physical attraction, hushed confessions, and shared passion. It is built around a highly unique, modern contrast of warm grain and creamy woods. It opens with a striking, smooth canopy of zesty bergamot and bitter almond. It shifts into an addictive heart of warm basmati rice, soft peony petals, and a rich, comforting splash of milk that mimics the starchy texture of steamed rice milk on warm skin. The composition then grounds itself on an exceptionally smooth, velvety baseline of smoky sandalwood, earthy vetiver, cedarwood, clean musk, and a massive hit of Cetalox.
