Less is more
Fresh, cool, slightly damp wood. Natural and urban. Melancholic and robust. For breathing and dressing. Reminds me of Paul Schütze's 'Behind the rain', but less green, less dark, less synthetic. A slightly brighter version. Without sourness. Essentially a mineral-woody scent, permeated by the elements, like a gray dry stone on which the last water remnants silently evaporate, complemented by a wonderfully aromatic pine-cypress ether with - almost soft - green nuances. This uniqueness is further enhanced by a subtly used incense that gives it depth and a touch of mystery. Just like the somewhat sweeter resins myrrh and elemi, which increase wearability with this quality. Everything is incredibly finely tuned, wonderfully restrained without being shy. Radiating a worship-worthy lightness despite its seriousness. An effortless elegance. This composition comes close to Giacobetti's transparent-sensitive masterpieces like 'En Passant' or 'L'Original'. Lyn Harris' less is more style of absolute calmness, simplicity, and lightness, as well as the so soothing renunciation of popular, modern, eternally lasting, and often unpleasantly smelling synthetic components in the drydown, is showcased here par excellence. More expressive due to the "heavyweight" ingredients than much of her still relatively young brand. And yet, I can't imagine that this idea can be composed more effortlessly. For me, one of her best works.

I Prefer to Go Out in the Rain.
The name of this fragrance immediately caught my attention. I am a total nature person! I love being outside in any weather; no mood of the weather can ruin my spirits. So I enjoy rain just as much as sunshine. My favorite place is in the woods, so the scent combination of rain and wood is not entirely foreign to me.

I was lucky enough to participate in a sharing right away (thank you for that!).
When the sample arrived, I could hardly wait, and upon the first sniff from the bottle, I thought only "wow!", authentic rain. So I sprayed it immediately. Even then, an intense clear scent of rain. For me, it’s more rain on asphalt than on wood, but very accurate! Yet even here, I smell a subtle floral note that I really don’t like. However, it is so inconspicuous that I hope it will be fine.

Unfortunately, it does not fit. The rain scent disappears incredibly quickly (not even 20 minutes), and what remains is this totally unpleasant floral-sweet note. Is it the angelica, or the water lily? I don’t know. I just know that I don’t like it. It somehow smells oppressive to me. The scent that lingers is quite weak, but you know how it is, when you don’t like something, no matter how subtle it is, it just bothers you...

So, unfortunately, Rain Wood has disappointed me. It gives a promise upon the first sniff that it cannot keep. If the rain scent didn’t fade so extremely quickly, I would say it’s just a matter of taste whether one likes this floral note or not - but the fact that the scent has nothing to do with rain after half an hour is really a shame.
My boyfriend also tested it and reported a similar experience: the rain scent fades quickly, and for him, it then became floral-sweet, but later turned a bit more bitter. But he is not convinced either. What a pity!
I don’t know what it is; after all, people here have had good experiences with the scent. Maybe it just doesn’t like my skin very much.

So my sample will have to move on, and I’ll just wait for the real rain :)

[Edit: The review was indeed incomplete until just now, due to technical difficulties - I assume it makes more sense now. :D]

Fresh Rainy Forest Floor
Very nice scent that actually reminds me of a rainy forest floor. The fragrance reminds me of something from the past. It could be Sumatra Rain by Axe (the deodorant of my youth 20 years ago), but I can't be sure about that. Unfortunately, the sillage is not particularly strong, so it's more of a scent for personal relaxation.

real and rare
it's cool in the forest, the dew drops sparkle on the moss
it's quiet in the forest, you hear the leaves rustling,
calm and proud, almost unattainable, the bright trunks reach into the sky
it smells of clean air, clear water, herbs, and hidden flowers.
seemingly quite simple .....and yet it is a highly refined composed perfume.
lasting, refreshing, clarifying, noble.
it has a clarity and tranquility that becomes more valuable with each wear.

Strange to wander in the rain.
Angelica cools the misty breath
Lonely dew soaks the incense
Juniper bush and stone
Mosses breathe on soft ground

Mist
Nourishing the moss on the trees
That peacefully lie on the ground
Soaked in resins
And rain
Dreaming of new leaves

Moist moss in the incense haze.
Strong water lily and delicate resin
take you into the rainforest.

I drift relaxed and cheerful
on a warm-scented wooden raft
calmly down the green stream.
I smell plants, water, wood, and moss.

Legolas wanders through the forest, searching. Magic is in the air. What happened to Galadriel? The mystical scent is gone now...

Outside in nature after the rain. A green, slightly smoky wood scent. Unpretentious, more of a room fragrance than a perfume. Calming.

Green, refreshing but somehow lacking depth. Resins are faintly present, water lily plays a significant role, smells like rainy weather.
