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.
