Dirty Rice
On request
Brandied plum, saffron and supple leather
BORNTOSTANDOUT Drunk Saffron is an Eau de Parfum from Seoul, composed by Honorine Blanc in 2022 and listed as unisex. Plum and brandy open it, saffron, leather and coffee form the heart, and Indonesian patchouli, vanilla and musk close it. The brand stages it as a velvet-dark night of secrets. A scent this dark and spiced is best tried on your own skin first.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top is only two notes, plum and brandy. The plum brings dark, slightly tart fruit and the brandy adds a warm, boozy edge, so the first impression is fruit that has been steeped in spirit. It is the moment that tells you whether the mood is for you.
In the heart saffron gives dry, warm spice, leather lends a supple texture and coffee adds a roasted touch. The three together feel dark and velvety. Saffron is what the perfume is named for, but the leather decides how serious the whole thing becomes.
The base rests on Indonesian patchouli for earthy depth, vanilla for a creamy softness and musk for a quiet finish near the skin. After the spice of the heart it settles into a calm, warm ground, and that is the part you carry home.
Testing it
Wear the sample first on an evening in autumn or winter, where the plum, leather and patchouli feel natural. Spray lightly, because saffron and leather carry on the skin. Come back to it the next day to see whether the dark mood still pleases you.
Try it if you like spiced, dark perfumes with leather and a gourmand edge, and want a scent with some mystery. If you prefer fresh or sugary perfumes, the saffron, leather and coffee may feel too serious, and a sample tells you that before you buy 50 ml.
A perfume built on saffron, leather and coffee is a matter of taste, and it can shift from elegant to heavy depending on the skin. The sample lets you meet the brandy and plum at the start and the patchouli at the end without committing to a full bottle.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
A 10 ml decant of Drunk Saffron in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and BORNTOSTANDOUT is not involved.
Leather is recorded in the heart next to saffron and coffee. Whether it comes forward or stays behind the spice depends on your skin, which is exactly what a sample shows you.
The dark fruit, brandy and patchouli point to cooler seasons and evenings. If you want to know how it behaves in milder weather, the sample gives you room to test that too.
Yes. The full bottle is a 50 ml Eau de Parfum, and the decant is filled from that same bottle, so the concentration you test is the one you would buy.
The brand
BORNTOSTANDOUT is a Seoul house launched in April 2022 under the motto 'We rebel against the standards'. The names are deliberately provocative, Dirty Rice, Fig Porn, Drunk Lovers, but the formulas are serious: each is composed by a credited outside perfumer and the Eau de Parfum line is dosed at 30 to 40% fragrance concentration. Perfumes this dense and this gourmand deserve a skin test before a full bottle, which is what our 10 ml decants are for.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
