THE STORY

Nari Vimala

Nari Vimala means Pure Woman. The name brings together the gentle character of a Thai dessert and the self-assured world of Jay the Rabbit, a character known for humour and confidence in living on her own terms. The dessert is kluay buat chi, bananas simmered in coconut milk. A familiar bowl of something sweet becomes the perfume's starting point, joined by a small paper detail that recalls the character's early drawings.

Pandan leaf, banana leaf and orris open with an airy green freshness. Pandan has an aroma familiar in Thai dessert kitchens, while banana leaf brings a broader leafy character. Orris adds a fine powdery texture, making the greenery softer. It suggests the first fragrant warmth noticed on bringing a bowl closer, before the richer sweetness becomes clear.

Banana, coconut milk, jasmine rice and vanilla gather at the heart. The banana has ripe sweetness with a little greener texture still present. Coconut milk makes it creamy, rice adds a warm grain detail, and vanilla gradually draws the different parts together. The dessert is recognisable, but there is still room to follow the fruit, the milkiness and the rice separately.

Caramel, paper, powdery notes and sandalwood give the base a smooth warmth. Paper is the detail worth pausing over: it recalls Jay the Rabbit's beginnings as hand-drawn illustrations, scanned and shared on social media. Placed beside the dessert notes, it brings the character's creativity and everyday pleasures into the fragrance. As the sweetness softens, gentle wood and powder remain beneath a familiar trace of banana and coconut milk.
