Rain is Life
A real underdog, and now one of my absolute favorites. Classical aquatas are usually too citric for me, and actually I like rather heavy and woody-dark scents. Nevertheless, Wet Stone has managed to become my second signature fragrance besides Epic Man.

Anyone who likes moist mineral notes à la Oud Mineral, Sel Marin or (in moderation) Whispered Myths will enjoy Wet Stone. It actually smells "wet", however that works as a fragrance quality; and completely free of typical WC duck aromas. I find it difficult to smell individual nuances of the fragrance. Wet Stone is not classically fresh, but it doesn't slip into the musty corner either. Nor is it salty, like Sel Marin, or oppressive, like Whispered Myths. Woods shine through at best overcast in the background, but give it a decent depth, especially in the finish. The first time I spray it on, I close my eyes and think I stepped outside on a rainy day. I don't know of any comparable scent, not even among the other mineralites. The association with wet stones is really hit here like a fist to the eye! It has a very high-quality effect on me, free of synthetic building blocks. Wet Stone gives this cool but somehow cosy impression of sitting on a roofed terrace in the middle of a cloudburst, surrounded by increasingly rain-soaked vegetation and humid - but not muggy - air. Yet it is neither typically blue nor green.

The fragrance has a pleasant sillage on my skin. It creates a pleasant aura around me and is clearly perceived, but only in close proximity to me. This makes it very versatile, both in my private and professional environment. I still smell Wet Stone on myself clearly after 6 to 8 hours. I find this very stately for this category of fragrance. Whoever is looking for a room filler will be disappointed.

All in all a fascinating, unique, very character and emotionally strong, but not at all provocative natural fragrance for feeling good, which really works in every conceivable situation. I find it grandiose! But: Where is the oud?

Smells like... wet stone..
Here the name is definitely program. But I smell something else, which fits more or less harmoniously into the overall picture. Nevertheless, my rating is not very high. The reasons were obvious right from the first test.

Wet Stone begins with only short, really distinctive citrus notes, which are generally rather soft and seem to fizzle out within the first few minutes. Immediately afterwards I don't take just any aquatic note, but explicitly calone - a light, fresh sea breeze with a floral touch - and plenty of it. Still, I never have the feeling of a really sparkling, refreshing fragrance in front of me, because all the other notes are very 'matt'. Where ginger and cardamom suggest an aromatic freshness, a volatile odeur of formic acid initially emerges in combination with a mineral note ('wet stone' actually hits it). As the fragrance progresses, it may be a little reminiscent of a rocky coastline and its vegetation, as slightly green-herbal and minimally woody facets can also be detected. There's no trace of oud, however.

What disappoints me in principle is when aquatic scents are not really fresh - and unfortunately that is the case here. After all, the scent from the sea is not always pleasant and that's why I prefer the idealized olfactory variant. Fortunately, it doesn't smell like algae rotting in the sun, but I find this dull, mineral note rather boring, and such a high dose of calone can quickly become annoying if it is not well digested. Wet Stone is therefore no better for me than many a designer aquarium and is not worth its price.

After an uplifting and salty spicy-citric opening, this aquatic spicy-woody Spring fragrance, settles to a gentle and dry earthy-woody base.
