When the Rain Stops

This fragrance presents itself as a clean, airy aquatic with green and woody elements, evoking the moment after a rainstorm passes—fresh, nuanced, and introspective. While the opening offers a subtle blend of bergamot, jasmine, and watery notes, with a fleeting, almost ethereal petrichor impression, this ephemeral quality quickly gives way to more masculine-leaning accords. The heart features light rose and green notes, but the dry-down leans heavily into pine, patchouli, and musky woody tones, creating a crisp, slightly synthetic scent reminiscent of a clean shower or a forest after rain. Performance is moderate, with scent lasting around 6–8 hours, though it becomes intimate and fades to a skin scent—ideal for daytime wear in warmer months. It is universally described as unisex, but leans masculine in most personal experiences, especially on men or those with warmer skin chemistry, with a distinct soapy and green-woody character that some liken to aftershave, cologne, or even laundry products. While appreciated for its softness and quiet elegance, many find it generic and underwhelming, lacking the authentic petrichor depth implied by the name. Nonetheless, it is well-received for layering and as a subtle, refreshing, non-invasive choice for work or casual wear.
