Rain Marc Jacobs 2006

I bought Rain last Tuesday. A hot day - and the following ones should become even hotter. Actually I only wanted to visit Douglas quickly to have a look, but since Rain was on offer at a competitive price, I took him with me at short notice. At 29€/100ml I didn't have to think long, because I still know the scent from earlier. For a long time I had the summer rain of Essence as a substitute, because Rain was too expensive for me at that time. And then at some point, he wasn't around anymore.

Rain was re-released some time ago and I think he smells a little different. The old version smelled more like rain, this one is more flowery, similar to Sunflowers, only fresher, lighter and more aquatic. Of course I can also be wrong, maybe my nose picked up the notes differently back then, sometimes one and the same fragrance makes you feel it one day and the other day quite differently. When I was amazed at the resemblance to Sunflowers, I compared the scents. I especially noticed sunflowers. Do sunflowers smell like anything? I don't know myself. I can't make out individual scents with Rain. It simply smells pleasantly fresh, flowery and aquatic. The 100 ml do not come by chance, as does the name Splash. Here you can spray and fog really generously. I have not yet been able to determine any overdose.

The shelf life is quite short, after about 2 hours you can replenish it, at least with the big heat at the moment. There's nothing stopping me anyway, except for Air di Gioia. Besides, it's very pleasant to have a fresh scent in your nose when it's hot, so I like to spray on it. Doesn't hurt with the price. For me Rain is a nice scent for hot days, because I don't like citric colognes. But I think I'll wear it on cooler days too.
