Easy to photograph

Ok, I like the bottle… it has the looks to look good in ads and it would be easy for any photographer to make it work. This is not a comment on the actual ad campaign - just a thought about great design.
Do I like the fragrance? I am not sure. Silver Rain has been in my collection for more than 15 years and I have still to decide whether it is a good scent. The amount of notes is overwhelming - maybe that is what makes it hard for me to decide. There is so much going on - in all directions - at all times. Which unfortunately is pretty short for this one. On my skin it lasts four hours, approximately.
I once got a compliment while wearing it. This does not happen when wearing some of my all time loves, so the scent is wearable. Try it out, but hesitate to blind buy or buy a whole bottle straight away.

Definitely not an Angel Clone...

A name like "Silver Rain" builds up expectations: will the perfume be watery and cool, tinged slightly blue like dyed white hair? Will it overlap with fragrances along the lines of Creed SILVER MOUNTAIN WATER? Will it shimmer like Calvin Klein TRUTH?

None of these proves to be the case in my experience of La Prairie SILVER RAIN. Unexpectedly, this turns out to be an abstract and sweetish floriental along the lines of ELLEN TRACY or Jessica Simpson FANCY or... fill in the blank. I'd like to believe that the impressive list of notes--boasting among other things, oud--might lift this composition out of the middling designer dredge territory. Alas, they do not. As the fragrance dries down, it smells more and more ordinary to me, and the quality of its solvents remind me more than anything of Chôpard WISH.

In The Holey[sic] Book, this perfume is characterized as an "Angel clone". I could not disagree more. This smells nothing like ANGEL, and I have no idea why anyone with a nose would say such a thing. Or is the confusion here about the meaning of the word 'clone'?

In the end, I can only recommend this perfume to those who like WISH and FANCY. Others will surely be disappointed.
