Lilac Soap ?
I may be biased because I am not a big lilac lover, but I was enchanted by the idea of rain, cement (as some have reviewed), and found neither rain nor cement. I can very faintly smell an airy scent to the lilac, following the listed notes, but the lilac is far more prevalent. The first few hits were an overwhelming dark lilac, think lavender if someone didn't know what lavender smelled like, or walking into a floral shop and taking a big inhale. The sillage was intense, and I could smell myself walking and in my room for an hour, very strongly at that. Once an hour had passed, the smell faded very quickly on my skin. The few remaining notes were a mix of lilac and soap. I did feel very clean! I was very underwhelmed by the petrichor note; I would have doubted it was a part of the scent if not for reading the description. Now, it has been 3 hours and I cannot smell it on my skin at all, whereas I put the Raven on yesterday and smelt it for almost 5 hours, just a very small drop on my wrist and neck. Overall, not their best-performing perfume in my opinion. But! If you absolutely love lilacs, maybe the soap smell won't be apparent.

Powdery violet
This one reminds me of baby powder. I get a whiff of lilac at first but the violet is stronger, and there's whiffs of talc and something damp and earthy.

It's nice though, I don't know that I'd wear it to work but it feels calm and relaxing. It lasts until lunch, so around 4 hours, pretty decent.

Dreamy Nostalgia
Lilacs are very nostalgic for me, lilac bushes surrounded my childhood home. That narcotic drowsing sweetness permeates my youth. It is VERY hard to find a good lilac scent. This is the best. It actually does remind me most of how the lilacs smelled after a good rain. This one rends my heart...Beautiful!

Starts out a very powdery and soapy floral. Powder decreases some on the drydown. I do not smell any of the atmospheric notes.

A soft, powdery white-purple floral smell with light woods. A freshly rained upon violet & lilac meadow... or gently scented baby powder?

intense violet. takes you straight to a cobblestone road after spring rain. beware: the dust note is definitely not for everyone

The rain was there for the briefest moment, then it became a sort of dewy, honeysuckle soap. Nice but not what I’m after.
