Post-Petrichor Stillness
The bruised grey-green sky hushes after a night of rainstorms. In the garden, forgotten slices of cucumber, pale green against the muddy water, bob in a serene puddle. A lone drop slides down the abandoned clothesline, surrendering to gravity and splashing onto the soaked grass below.
It opens with a spray of rainwater, which doesn't feel like petrichor to my nose, but still retains the freshness and dewiness of the morning after a rainy night. It quickly settles into a slightly artificial cucumber scent, which is quite pleasant to my nose. This is a scent that lingers: I get about 8-10 hours on skin with decent projection, though it gets closer to a skin scent throughout the day, and I can still smell it on my clothes the day after.
The Dew on Their Hems is not for everyone, and judging from the votes on this website, it doesn't seem to have found its crowd yet. But this is a very interesting and unique release that distances itself from Lush's 2024 gourmand craze. Another one for my to-buy list.
