Rainkissed Leaves

When I first saw this on here I figured it was a decent scent but would probably be overly floral and aquatic...I WAS WRONG! I loved both Rain and Grass from Marc Jacobs but this...this is superb! My favorite green scent is Homme Nature by YR but where that one is green and earthy this is light green, airy and clear. On the initial spritz I get the grass and leaves covered with dew and rain but the grapefruit is almost a silent partner adding only its sparkle. The watercress is a truly unique addition (I used to make cream of watercress soup a couple times a week when I lived in Arizona and organic greens and produce were cheap and plentiful, and this REALLY smells like watercress!)to the soft, sweet muguet and jasmine. If there is peony in this it is most likely a lite white one. The greens accent the subtle florals but do not overpower them. As it begins to dry down the light musk and clear woods are there with the sweetness of hedione but it is almost as if the spirit of the wood is present and not true wood itself. As with most natural based scents I expected it to shine and fade quickly...not so here! I can still smell the faintest scent on the tester strip 24 hrs.later..amazing! Sillage: good Longevity: surprising Overall: 3.75/5 This is in the women's signature collection @ B&BW; however, I think anyone who appreciates natural scents and loves nature will dig this one. I can see a man wearing this in the summer or spring just as easily as a woman, and he would not come off as "too poofy". If you love the scent of dew-covered leaves and flowers after a late night rain this is one is for you...

I like this crisp, fresh, herby scent. But sadly the body splash when it is first applied makes me sneeze and cough just like JenAirz husband. Its like the splash doesn't stay or soak into the skin. Where it was sprayed instead it fumes around you waiting to be inhaled. Its weird because I'm not allergic to any of the notes in this sent. And I have a ton of perfumes and body splashes of all kinds.This is the only one that affects me. I haven't tried the EDT so we'll see. This is a soft sent that lingers and other than the coughing and sneezing thing is not overpowering. I was surprised to see grass as a note. But now that i think about it there is a freshly cut grass sent which make it fresh and clean. That probably why I was drawn to this sent. I personally cant smell the grapefruit but the jasmine gives it a subtle feminine touch. To give hope to all you perfume lovers out there I called BBWks and they said that they received so many complaints about discontinuing this sent that they are going to start selling it again. But they didn't say when. update: startin june 13th 2012 is the semi annual sale!!!!!!!! and they r bringin bk recently discontinued sents!!!!!!! Like honeysuckle, butterfly flower, rainkissed leaves, enchanted orchid; cucumber melon, dancing waters and mandarin mango. But the bad thing is that one of the reps said that they r not gettin the body spay. But online i have seen the body spray for rainkissed leaves in a body spray!!! so who knws ;>

After hunting various online sites and forcing every cousin that lives abroad to visit the nearest malls and find me this fragrance, I spotted it online and got it shipped to India. Never mind the expense, since the efforts were all worth it. If you are looking for a fresh and rejuvenating fragrance, this one would be the Holy Grail! An early morning walk through misty grasslands, a beautiful and much-awaited spell of rain, fresh spring breeze - it's like this fragrance captures notes from these. Opens with Earthy and fresh grass notes, settles to peonies towards the end on the my skin, with wood and musk offering some depth to it. My only regret is the inclusion of grapefruit that somehow stays constant right from beginning to the end. Also, like the others before me who mentioned the unbearable first 2 minutes of spraying, I feel something could've been done to avoid that glitch. Stays on for 4-5 hours and then disappears to nothing, moderate sillage that would never offend anyone. My go-to fragrance when I'm in the mood for something simple, fresh and clean. Definitely re-stocking if I come across it again!

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this one yet! It's so gorgeous! I've been a fan of BBW for years and have smelt so many things, but this one has always been my favorite signature line scent. It's grassy, clean, wet muguet, and grapefruity. The smell reminds me of fancy cucumber spa mask, an open meadow on a day where it's 75 degrees with a gentle breeze, the smell of wet green leaves after a thundershower. I know it seems silly I can't pick one, but they just all come to mind :P. This is a favorite of mine to wear around the house on beautiful or rainy days. It's very relaxing and light. If you are bummed you can't find the EDT don't be, the mist lasts almost as long anyways. I think the only real perk of having the EDT is that the sprays are more contained, the cloud the mist creates gives me the sneezies, which is annoying but still worth it. The lotion is also really nice for prolonging the scent. A wonderful hidden gem in the BBW collection if you ask me :). The only scent I will go out of my way to buy during the semi annual sales, the only thing I would bother to order online too.

I love this fresh scent smells exactly as it says watery fresh soft droplet like scent. The closest to this is white t shirt which is a lighter version of sea Island cotton they are all cousins but rainkissed is much lighter and aquatic. Without the minty smell like the other 2. Its Like stepping out of a pool of fresh Aloe vera and Fiji water while drinking a cold guava drink. If your wearing white this goes so well with the setting, clean. Cant wait till they bring this back. The body butter I don't like but the lotion smells ok I usually pair the mist with my own fresh homemade cocobutter body cream made with capacua, muru muru,vitamins e and essentia oils. It smells so delicious
