One Day Taipei is praised for its authentic steaming rice opening and beautiful sandalwood-forward drydown that wins over skeptics. However, the fragrance is notoriously difficult to source in the USA, and the distinctive rice note inevitably fades as it dries down due to the chemical nature of rice-scent compounds.
Strengths
- Excellent drydown with beautiful Mysore sandalwood accord
- Photorealistic rice scent in opening, closest to actual steaming rice
- Unique and memorable fragrance that stands out
Weaknesses
- Extremely difficult to find in stock in USA
- Rice note fades quickly due to volatile pyrazines, drydown loses riciness
- Opening rice quality varies by skin chemistry
