Sound of the thunder and the rain pourin' down
The first spray of Rain is bright and fresh, watery with a unique green citrus zing that I put down to the lemon verbena. It's distinctly not lemon -- no lemonade, Lemon Pledge, whatever, here, but a fuller herbal lemon scent that lasts longer than your average lemon note, while still being stunningly delicate. This convincingly conveys a rain-on-leaves image, then the lotus note rises up, and the scent eventually converts into a musk/watery-via-lotus scent, along with a touch of freesia.
Has about 3 hours of moderate sillage in it, then it becomes weak and hard to catch, and it's hard to say how long it stays after that. In the late stages, I noticed the fragrance can, at times, feel ozonic and metallic -- kind of smells like pennies. I like that, even if I don't know how or why it happens.
This is no dusty-wet petrichor-type scent -- it is pure water and rain, like an interpretation of a long day of spring rain. It reminds me of L'eau d'Issey for its white floral notes, but they are much lighter here, and it reminds me of Bvlgari Crystalline Omnia for the predominance of the lotus, without being as white-lady-bougie. These two perfumes are a bit fuller than Rain, but Rain wins the competition for Most Refreshing. Even though it would be great on warm to hot days, it is a delight to wear on a rainy day as well.
