Clear Rain or the Electrifying Tension of Thunderstorm Air?
Once upon a time, 4 years ago.... My first high-priced fragrance, apart from scents from days gone by, which were only available at inflated prices. I got my first bottle from LV and yes, I was damn proud. New, it costs about €2.80/ml. Not cheap, but affordable.
About the bottle: The texture/grip is superficially smooth, as it is made of glass, transparent, quite wide and grippy. Thus, good handling is ensured. And this grayish-looking liquid...I was in love. The spray head is in the average range. Completely sufficient, better than with many other brands. What I didn’t know at that time is that sometimes there are slight differences in the sprayers of this brand. Sometimes a fine mist, sometimes it shoots out in puddles.
About the scent: At first, the scent is fresh, clear, herbaceous, slightly soapy, almost puristic in nature. Like the rain before a thunderstorm. But the twist comes with a bit of green herbal notes, along with some spice and a slight sharpness. The pulsating, electric charge of the thunderstorm air just before the bang.
Longevity is around 6-7 hours, placing it in the medium range. Sillage is about 4-6 hours, which is also in the medium range.
Conclusion: I enjoyed wearing this scent, but on my journey through life, I have developed a certain aversion to green, herbaceous fragrances. I still like the opening, though. For me, this chapter is closed. Thank you.
