ScentLab33 Milky Rice Sandalwood No.144 | Inspired by Affinessence Santal-Basmati (2015) | EDT & EDP

Milky Rice Sandalwood No.144

Inspired by Affinessence Santal-Basmati (2015), this independent ScentLab33 interpretation focuses on the fragrance’s recognisable woody, gourmand, sweet character while offering a choice of EDT or EDP concentration.

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes: Steamed basmati rice and soft spices.
Heart Notes: Milky sandalwood and orris.
Base Notes: Cedar, patchouli and warm musk.

Detailed Scent Summary

This scent is intentionally smooth and intimate. The first impression resembles warm basmati rice: gently nutty, steamy and softly starchy rather than sugary. Creamy sandalwood expands through the heart, with orris giving a velvety, powdery texture. Cedar and patchouli add quiet structure, while warm musk keeps the base close to the skin. The result is meditative, milky-woody and subtly gourmand, with understated niche character.

Longevity & Sillage

Estimated EDT longevity: 7–9 hours. Estimated EDP longevity: 9–11 hours. EDT gives a lighter, fresher trail, while EDP feels fuller and usually projects for longer. Performance varies with skin chemistry, climate, application and fabric; these figures are practical estimates rather than a fixed guarantee.

When to Wear

Best suited to autumn, winter and cool spring weather. Excellent for quiet evenings, galleries, reading, intimate dinners and bedtime rituals. Pair with cashmere, linen, neutral tailoring, soft leather or minimalist Japanese-inspired silhouettes. Apply two to four sprays across the neck, chest or inner elbows. Use fewer sprays in offices, restaurants, aircraft cabins and other close-contact spaces; for exercise, apply after showering rather than before training.
