When the Rain Stops Maison Margiela 2022

I managed to get two samples here - one for myself and one for my equally perfume-crazy daughter. The fragrance package arrived yesterday, and with the summer temperatures being high, we decided to test it together in the evening.

At first, the scent is fresh and zesty. Pleasant in the heat. But what comes next... The fragrance develops into a spicy and herbal scent. For me, it is definitely NOT a unisex fragrance but, in my opinion, an absolute scent for men.

I was misled by the description "for women AND men." After every sniff on my wrist, I kept going over the fragrance pyramid with the individual notes
and jasmine and patchouli - I thought that the scent would suit me as well.

My husband asked my daughter and me, surprised, what we thought we smelled like. He also found the scent very masculine.

Surprisingly, "Replica - When The Rain Stops | Maison Margiela" has a penetrating longevity... (I would wish for that for "Replica - Lazy Sunday Morning | Maison Margiela" - but here I would have really been glad if the scent had dissipated quickly)!

Shortly after, my daughter was out biking and then went to take a shower. Even after that, the scent was still noticeable on her - and not in a weak way at all.

So, for the ladies of the house, the scent is nothing;
but I had a video call with my son in the evening, and he is already looking forward to the two samples that will soon be packed for our trip to Austria...
