Scent Bar Staff Video Review for Strawberry Mochi

Video Transcript

This is the latest release from d'Annam's Memories of Japan line and it's called Strawberry Mochi. It is a very realistic strawberry mochi fragrance. In case you don't know, mochi is made of pounded glutinous rice. It has a really kind of sticky, chewy texture. It's so, so satisfying to eat.

In this case, it's referring to a Japanese dessert that's a little mochi confectionary filled with a fresh strawberry and a little bit of red bean paste and then covered in a softly sweet powder. This fragrance just captures that experience so beautifully and accurately.

When you first spray it, you're met with that soft kind of dreamy powder and then you really get that realistic chewy rice that I think d'Annam has captured so beautifully in a few of their fragrances. And then as it dries, that's when you get a little bit of the sweet kind of powdery red bean paste with the fresh watery strawberry. It's such an interesting contrast in textures and it's just beautifully done.

It's really wearable like a lot of the d'Annam gourmands in particular. It's kind of understated. It's not overly sweet. It's honestly a little bit savory with that kind of like nutty, realistic rice accord. It's just so cozy and clean. I feel so pretty when I wear this. I just absolutely love it.

I definitely think you should check out Strawberry Mochi.

Not for you if you are a gourmand person. It's a really interesting and complex fragrance, but not for me. I think the bean paste didn't agree with my nose.

Very refreshing and slightly rich smell that reminds me of Japanese Cherry Blossom from B and B works.. definitely a nice smell, not for me but not a bad scent at allll. If youre interested definitely try for yourself

While this is interesting it’s not what I hoped for. The red bean and starchy rice notes are the most prominent, but I don’t get any strawberries or really any brown sugar at all. I’m interested to try other ‘glutinous rice’ notes, but I’d love something sweeter.

This scent has made me lose my mind. I love gourmands, I love rice notes, and I love milk notes, but I usually don’t get down with a strawberry scent because it’s too cupcakey to me, but this is like photorealistic strawberry mochi. Definitely sweet but not cloying. Refreshing. I’m definitely getting the full size.

Rice and red bean forward. Personally, I would have liked just a bit more sweetness and strawberry, but I am a sweet gourmand girly. If you like gourmands that aren’t super sweet and you like rice notes, I bet you will like this a lot! It also didn’t have a lot of longevity, but maybe could be layered with an oil or something to help with that.

I was really excited about this, but unfortunately, it was a miss. I got hit with the strawberry first, but it quickly dried down to a sour rice smell. I am Asian, and I love the smell of rice, and this smells like rice that has been fermented for a few days... I also don't get the sweet note that some reviewers mentioned, I feel that if I had detected a sweeter note, my experience would have been better as it would have balanced out the sour rice smell, but it is still not what I was expecting. Please buy a sample before full bottle.

A subtle, chewy, rice perfume, I do not get any strawberry, but rather a subtle sweetness from the red bean note. It opens slightly sweet and fluffy. Unfortunately, after 15 minutes, I got the glutinous fermented rice that a lot of others are experiencing. So very unpleasant, but it may just the chemistry of my skin.

This is truly a gorgeous perfume and in my personal top 5 favorites of all time. It smells exactly like strawberry mochi, while still being mature enough for someone in their late 20s. Highly recommend trying out a sample, and will be purchasing a full bottle.

I get some of the mochi notes, but I do not get strawberry. Nonetheless, it smells very nice and sweet. It almost smells like Vietnamese oolong tea to me. Either way, I really like it.

Nice, soft, sweet scent, the strawberry is subtle - it is pretty realistic to what strawberry mochi smells like. It fades to a soft, sweet rice powder. It is easy to wear. The projection is soft, longevity about 4-6hr. It is a little on the expensive side, so be sure to sample first. I did go full bottle, easy to wear in an enclosed space, like office. Came with a sample of Matcha Soft Serve, really liked that too.
