Thailand’s favourite dessert on your skin: ripe mango, warm coconut cream and a sweet glow that lingers.
The Scent
Mango Sticky Rice opens like a plate served at a Bangkok street stall: juicy golden mango, creamy coconut milk and a toasty roasted-coconut note that smells just like warm sticky rice. As it settles, soft vanilla melts in like the sweet coconut sauce poured over the top. The drydown is cosy and quiet, with a touch of benzoin and a whisper of saffron and incense.
The Collection
This scent is Journal’s tribute to khao niao mamuang (ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง), the much-loved Thai dessert. Journal is a Bangkok perfume house that blends traditional and modern perfumery and uses mostly natural ingredients on a coconut-oil base, which suits a scent that is all about coconut. This is the parfum (extrait), the brand’s richest concentration, first released around 2020.
Notes
- Top: Golden mango, coconut milk, roasted coconut
- Heart: Vanilla
- Base: Agarwood (oud), benzoin, saffron, frankincense
Who It’s For
It’s for you if you love edible, comforting gourmands and tropical holidays you can’t stop thinking about. Wear it on lazy weekends, summer days and whenever you want to smell sweet and happy. Fair warning: it’s truly literal, so if coconut or toasty notes aren’t your thing, this one may not be for you.
Performance
This is a soft, skin-close scent rather than a loud one. Expect around four to six hours, strongest in the first hour, and a gentle sweet trail after that. A spritz on clothing helps it last longer.
Authenticity
This is genuine Journal perfume, brand new in its box, sourced by Aussie Discount Fragrance and shipped from our Sydney stock.
