Very Bad Rice conjures a very good/nice tropical holiday in Southeast Asia. Smell your way to a change of scenery courtesy this fruity-solar freshie. Picture yourself on the beach, kicking back with an ube latte in hand, an ultra-creamy mango sticky rice on the go, an ice-cold piña colada coming up, and the sun warming your heart.
Perfumer: Ambre Bouchard
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a slow afternoon that turns into dessert, when the air is warm and everything feels a little softened by sun. It suits close, relaxed settings where its creamy fruitiness can read as inviting rather than loud, leaving a sweet, edible trail.
How to wear
Best in warm weather or mild heat, where the mango and coconut feel lush rather than heavy. Apply lightly at first: the extrait concentration gives it presence, and a few sprays are enough to let the milky rice and fruity notes bloom on skin and clothing without becoming cloying.
Who it’s for
For lovers of gourmand scents with a tropical twist, especially those who enjoy edible notes that feel creamy, fruity and slightly savory. It will appeal to wearers who like playful, unconventional sweetness with a soft, sunlit texture.

Versatile’s story
Versatile Paris builds compact, highly concentrated perfume extracts with a transparent, ingredient-led approach. The house favors direct ideas, everyday inspirations and a modern, inclusive style that feels spontaneous rather than overworked.
Very Bad Rice’s concept
Very Bad Rice is built around the memory of mango sticky rice in Thailand: ripe mango, warm rice and creamy coconut milk, turned into a tropical gourmand. The name plays on a familiar food image, but the scent itself is about pleasure, sunlight and a brief holiday mood.
Extra info
The name turns a comfort-food memory into a perfume concept, with mango sticky rice at the center of the story. Retailers describe it as an extrait de parfum in a 30 ml spray format, and some listings highlight a 25% concentration.
