The scent and nuance of beans, grains and roots. Soybeans strained and boiled into milk, the aroma of steamed rice and taro rising in the air. Flour and dough kneaded into taro balls, rolled hearty in bowls. The gourmand sweetness enters the Taipei morning, moves into mid-day alleys and into the night. Through rusted concrete and its rigid colors, the aged scent remains in the wooden builds between cool-toned concrete lofts. The rootyness stains the narrow alleys between the low-rises downtown, brushing through the gates and chairs, kitchens and windows. The rice lingers and weaves into the background, meeting the underlying tone. The scene of old temples by the night markets. The intimate human touch of the city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoy milk in Taiwan is very different from American soy milk. It has an almost nutty quality to it. My favorite breakfast in Taipei features a steaming bowl of soy milk (we always added a ton of sugar), and you dip youtiao (this airy fried dough) into it. The youtiao soaks up the soy milk and it tastes like heaven. The vendors who make their soy milk fresh the traditional way (and their youtiao extra fluffy and flaky) always have crazy long lines in Taipei. In the states, you can buy powder mix to make Taiwanese soy milk, but it doesn't taste the same. It doesn't taste the way this fragrance smells.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEver since I was a little girl I loved the smell of a rice cooker just popped open, sweet steamed taro, a tray lined with bowls of soy milk on a grey winter morning. Taipei by One Day captures all of those scents perfectly. It's evocative the way I think all gourmands should be. It's powdery, but powdery like taro, certainly not like baby powder. I love to spray this right before bed. It smells like a hug: selfless, desperately sweet and a little bit sad. But maybe that's just my association with these memories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e This is really unique. The opening literally does smell like opening a pot of seasoned rice. It's got that nuttiness to it and it does last a long time on skin which is quite the feat if you're looking for a rice fragrance, you know how hard that is to find. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e This is what home smells like. I am in love\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e This scent perfectly nails the scent of taro! It opens with a scent that is more akin to the actual taro root rather than just the typical sweet smell. It's earthy, woody, and starchy. Then as the scent develops the blend of soy milk with rice smells like a sweet and creamy rice pudding with a now much sweeter taro. The iris adds an even creamier touch but the woody accords make this a touch savory for a bit. As this dries down it's a dry and woody sandalwood with nutty milkiness and earthy taro. It manages to be slightly sweet and savory at the same time with a woody creaminess all throughout. This is a dreamy scent that nails the scent profile of taro to a T!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e Taipei smells like you just opened the rice cooker and you get a whiff of freshly cooked rice. (WR is uncooked rice in the bin.) I also love the scent of soy milk and taro. It's lovely and comforting. Milky and creamy. I'm Chinese and I find this to be very photorealistic. It reminds me of my childhood. I will have to pick up a bottle. I don't get any floral notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e I really like this one. I'm a sucker for bready, savory, creamy scents and this is all those. It reminds me of Serge Lutens Jeux de peau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e My first impression was the sticky rice from mango sticky rice. With a savory element noted by myself and others. Delicious...To me this is a world bending gourmand,...Taipei has a sweetness in the chord of hay. Sometimes when I'm craving something to eat I realize I'm thinking of Taipei. Strong enough and projecting enough that I don't hose myself down in it, otherwise I definitely would. It's so good. I love you Michael Wong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e I love this scent !!  As a bobarista, I could confirm it smells like Taro Soy milk tea at the beginning. The dry-down reminds me of some perfume with rice note dominant like Diptyque l'eau papier....Full bottle to go for me ^^\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003eA subtly sweet and deliciously lactonic opening, that dries down into a woody rice skin scent. I am absolutely obsessed with the taro (dasheen, where I'm from) note. Will definitely be reaching for this as a unique, everyday fragrance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e This is so good. Being tawainese, I was super excited to this get and it did not disappoint. You can definitely smell the different facets of this: the rice, the taro and the soy milk. It smells a lot like the little chewey taro rice balls (tan yuen, iykyk) that is used in a hot sweet water broth or as a shaved ice topping. I also have dannam white rice and while I see the similarities, they're different enough to own both. Dannam is a bit of a colder, drier rice, with the iris to mimic the rice accord being somewhat discernible. Taipei is a smoother, more gourmand rice with a touch of sweetness. At first I thought it was similar to strangers perfumarie Chokadee or sweet farewell but it never approached their sweetness levels. very good nostalgic scent that should be comforting and nostalgic to any Taiwanese person :)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e Divine 10\/10 gourmand. Somehow not overbearing, and transitions masterfully between notes. The opening of soy milk, rice, and taro is particularly comforting and smells like Asian bakeries after they finish a batch of bread and pastries. It then gradually settles into a clean skin scent with mild projection. Absolutely nuclear in longevity, I could still smell it on myself after showering. Despite being sweet, Taipei is not that warm compared to most gourmands I've smelled. My first niche fragrance buy, zero regrets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e This smell alerted me to the world of artistic fragrance. It drags you in immediately leaving you to feel rejuvenated, excited, and enthralled. The soy milk note grants this perfume the smell of a powdered up new born with the rice and woody notes to ground it. It smells sweet and milky. It feels safe but new; calming but exciting.
