Like the outside world after a good rain shower
This one is an olfactory experience. I'm still not sure I'd wear it during work days or when I'd be out and about, but it's a beautiful artistic perfume. I might just add it to my collection for the experience of smelling it in the comfort of my home when I feel like experiencing where the scent transports me despite its abyssmal performance.

On the strip of paper it smells like the outside world after an enormous storm has passed through. It smells like petrichor and wet grass (in the best way possible). It's fresh, green and aquatic, three things I never thought I wanted together in a perfume. On my skin, the story is a little bit different. I can make out the notes better than when I smell them on paper. The beginning is sharp with the citrus fruits giving your nose a gentle whack. It definitely wakes you up. After about a minute or so, that's when the magic starts. Grass note immediately comes through, quite realistic. There's also the fresh and green aspect of almond blossom petals that's akin to burrowing your whole face in a bouquet of flowers and inhaling deeply. The mist note imparts the fresh, aquatic scent of water reminiscent of dew drops on grass. The drydown becomes a bit warm due to the vetiver, like greenery being warmed by the sun that has peaked through the storm clouds. There's also the lovely presence of flowers with the violet note and a slight woody note with the cedarwood. I can't make out any powderiness which I'm pretty happy with (violet usually does this on my skin). This perfume is absolutely wonderful and enlightening. The one thing I have to warn you about is its abyssmal performance. The sillage is almost non-existent, it's a skin-scent after about 30 minutes. The violet and vetiver are the most persistent notes on my skin (with a hint of cedarwood), they're still here on my skin after about 2 hours, but I have to bring my wrist directly to my nose to even smell anything.

For the price, it might seem steep, but I think the experience makes up for it (generally). Like I said earlier, I might end up buying it someday for what it gave me during these precious, fleeting 30 minutes.

Summertime sadness
Honestly, it wasn't love at first sight. I bought the fragrance spontaneously in Santa Monica because I wanted a souvenir. During my trip I wore it a few times, but we didn't get really warm. Now, after a few months, his magic unfolds. Steamed Rainbow is exactly what the name says. Light as spray mist, complex, iridescent and refreshing with a touch of nostalgia. It reminds me of summer afternoons and orange popsicles when I was a kid. Laying in the grass, closing my eyes and let the sunbeams of the late summer warm my face.
Definitely a staple in my fragrance wardrobe.

Disappears as soon as a rainbow does
I have been using DS&Durga's Steamed Rainbow for few weeks now, and I'm very conflicted. On one side, it's an amazing fragrance, opens up with a whole citrus-story, feels as if you see a foggy room filled with crushed lemons. On the other hand, this fragrance dissapears very quickly. Typically fragrance lasts on me quite long, even the ones known for having longevity issues, but Steamed Rainbow really is just completely gone within 1.5-2 hours after spraying it first. The fragrance however is composed so beautifully I cannot say I don't recommend it- quite the opposite, I highly suggest you get your hands on a sample as soon as you can!

kaleidoscopic sunbeam prisms stars through a small splash
My experience with Steamed Rainbow from DS& Durga leaves me in a state of mind to offer impressions rather than a proper review of the perfume: childhood summers scooted out of the house from sunup to sundown by a harried single mother tired of children underfoot during times of day when they are typically in school/dewdrops on grass clippings and neon hibiscus petals hastily evaporating in early July morning Florida heat/my mother's rare appearances on those afternoons, the scent of those synthetic citrusy florals of her Bain de Soleil sun oil/a rare sprinkler day, the small device rotating and twisting and spitting thin streams of ice cold water, shocking on sun-warmed skin, sizzling on scalding asphalt/that dizzying kaleidoscopic shimmer and spray as a sunbeam prisms stars through a small splash, a magic summer star in my palm, toes cool in already warming puddles.

Hyperrealistic water/mist opening that dries down into a slightly savoury floral cotton-like musk. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic.

One of those perfumes you have to at least try, and I see it appealing to the general public.

A beautiful olfactory experience: like dew drops delicately adorning grass and flowers after a storm has passed. Fresh, green and aquatic.

Like eating oranges in the shower - realistic orange peels and steam

The drydown is powdery. Unusual, but easy to wear
