Mango Sticky Rice

Golden Mango, Steamed Rice.

IDMAN's Mango Sticky Rice takes its name straight from the Thai dessert. It opens with golden mango at its ripest, juicy and exotic, the kind of freshness that hits before anything else registers. At the heart, coconut milk swirls in, soft florals folded through it, thickening the scent into something richer and more indulgent. The base settles slow: steamed rice, vanilla, warm musk, an addictive, mouthwatering finish that clings to skin long after the citrus brightness has faded.

Tropical and comforting in equal measure — built for someone who wants a fragrance that reads as genuinely edible.

Joelle Sakkal founded IDMAN and signs its letter in the first person, dedicating the line to people longing for attention and visibility. The house is run out of Dubai. The range is four extraits alongside two all-over sprays and a balm, highly concentrated, with extracts drawn from Grasse. A fine line between creation and chaos runs under the work. Making a thing sits on one side of it and the turbulence of living sits on the other.

Each of the four extraits is given a scene and a list of two or three materials. The releases are designed to be layered over one another rather than kept apart. An emotional hurricane is the register the house works in, and the extraits are concentrated enough that one or two sprays is the instruction for them.
