I think this one plays with an aroma that might be unique to people from certain European countries – cold rice pudding, which is definitely eaten in Italy, Spain, France and the German speaking countries as well as parts of Eastern Europe. It reminds me of my childhood, without being too cloyingly sweet, and can even be worn in summer.

My review is very similar to scorpiosheep’s opinion, with the difference that Dolce Riso has been in my want list for more years and my current sample is smaller.
It has nothing sweet, it’s a very weird fragrance as it blends citrus, wheat and a bizzarre note I’m not familiar with (maybe artemisia).
It doesn’t give justice to its name at all, it’s not a tribute to sweet rice, I don’t really get the rice aroma, which I love and consider fantastic in some Kenzo fragrances. I don’t even think is has a strong vanillic component, sorry but I just feel uncomfortable with it, I’m happy I tested it so I say to all those that might be interested in it, test before you buy it!

Calè setted a very high standard with their compositions (Mistero, Perludio D’Oriente, Fulgor, Assolo) but Dolce Riso is quite a disappointment. A fruity/citrusy opening turning into a sweeter and somehow scratchy woody/ambery drydown that’s not so far from a bunch of fragrances from the Baldessarini’s Del Mar serie. Nothing special and it definitely doesn’t worth the price tag.
Rating: 5/10

This is a nice sweet and fresh scent. More suitable for females, definitely, although its marketed as unisex, I really don’t think men will want to wear this. You smell the apple and sweet lime first. Soon it starts smelling like a rice pudding, a cold one though, not hot, because the lime keeps the fragrance as a whole in the ‘cool’ arena. I dont smell much pepper so dont let that put you off if you hate pepper. Its a lighthearted, easygoing scent. I find it like a refreshing take on gourmand, well suited to warmer weather.
