Rice & Silk: The Scent of Familiarity

The Everyday Ritual

In many Asian households, the scent of warm rice is an emotional anchor, tied to care, tradition, and the feeling of home. Silk, representing elegance and longevity, carries a rich history—woven into generational rituals from clothing to ceremonies.

A Cliché in Perfume

Perfumery often reduces these notes to vague concepts of "softness" or "clean linen." But to many, they represent nostalgia & comfort—not abstraction. These ingredients, when treated respectfully, create fragrances that are tender and soothing—perfect for moments of reflection.

JILI’s Perspective

At JILI, we design rice and silk notes to feel personal, not performative. We capture the creamy, toasty scent of rice and the smooth elegance of silk using minimalist ingredients. These notes aren’t just aesthetic—they’re emotional.

How You Can Use It

Wear these fragrances for intimate moments—journaling, winding down, or connecting with your inner calm. Think of it as scent therapy: warm, gentle, and grounding.
