Rain Dance

If you like the scent of damp grass, wet earth, fresh lily of the valley (before they get all musty), a light herbal mix, and a hint of aquatic-citrusy freshness... then you should crawl around in the garden and press your face into the lawn carpet. But only when it’s raining. With a lemon in one hand. And a lily of the valley in the other.

I would rather advise against this scent. At first, it is hard to beat in terms of intensity, smells incredibly squeaky-artificial, but then quickly fades away and smells... well, hmm, almost nothing at all. Only a determined pressing of the nose against the application spot allows a well-trained nose to sense that there was something there.
Longevity is therefore rather poor to bad, the scent itself doesn’t make me jump for joy like a young deer, sillage is nonexistent, and the rest isn’t that great either.

Plus point: I don’t know any scent that comes close to this. So probably niche... ;)

I was totally turned off by this Demeter too, but when I see you rolling around in my mind...

Wet Garden: At first, I thought of something gross. And then this: lily of the valley. I actually really like it. Perfumers who mess it up will be ignored by me. ;)

Many are indeed intrusive, and not just the waiter at the restaurant around the corner...

Or a niche niche... it's best to let grass grow over it ;-)
