In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotJournal Mango Sticky Rice brings the classic Thai dessert to life. This fragrance centers on a warm blend of ripe mango, rich coconut milk, and toasted rice. It is a sweet, casual scent best suited for cozy afternoons or relaxed weekend wear in cooler spring weather.
Reviews →Mae Nak by Journal introduces a sharp citrus spark of lemon layered over exotic frangipani. As it settles on the skin, the fragrance reveals a deep, woody base of agarwood and siam benzoin. It fits best as an easygoing option for casual daytime wear during warm spring and summer months.
