Pluie Sur Ha Long
by Ella K Parfums
Pluie sur Ha Long is a light, ethereal floral aquatic fragrance that evokes a serene, dewy pond lined with lotus and water lily blossoms. It opens with a bright, slightly fruity-spicy zing from rhubarb and pink pepper, which gently integrates into a transparent floral core of magnolia, neroli, cyclamen, and jasmine-like water lily. The aquatic aspect is soft and clean—never oceanic or aggressive—offering a delicate freshness reminiscent of a gentle shower or a flowery summer dress. The drydown features a creamy white musk that grounds the scent, lending it a subtle sweetness and smooth fade. The scent is consistently described as refreshingly clean, understated, and effortlessly wearable during daytime spring and summer months, with a performance that lasts moderately well into the day. It's not sterile or artificial despite some synthetic floral facets, and many find its dreamy, airy character deeply appealing.

Cons
