Bvlgari Man Rain Essence

This fragrance taught me not to trust Fragrantica ratings too much. I've smelled 4+ star fragrances blended worse than this, which isn't saying too much as this is masterfully crafted. Perfectly rounded out, notes don't jump out at you whatsoever. A simple fragrance with some depth lent to it by the amber that makes it pretty unique in my opinion. I don't think you'd be able to properly understand this fragrance without putting it on skin as the slight ambery warmth is honestly what makes this so great and a stand-out for me. Not reminiscent at all, but it's helped me realize I love fresh ambers along with Ambra Calabria. Don't trust any opinion that hasn't tested this on skin. I was intrigued smelling it on paper, but it didn't resonate anywhere near enough for me to desire going back to it. I was randomly going through samples today when I decided to give this a second chance and I'm very glad I did. This is addicting to me, I keep going back for more. Would I buy retail (if I didn't have fresh fragrances already)? Yes, honestly. Only reason I wouldn't right now is because I have a fresh amber in my Ambra Calabria and with the amount of samples and fragrances I dance around trying day to day, I probably won't finish this sample before it hits discounters, especially with how lackluster the response seems to be from the public. Keep in mind though, I don't have the bias of owning any ADG or Bvlgari, what I've smelled (ADG profumo, profundo, absolut and such that ulta carries) has been in store and never stood out as unique enough for me to own or wear on myself. I would definitely own this for myself. It's going in my very short list of designer fragrances I really want to add to my collection. This hits up more toward niche quality than your typical loud and proud designers, which is obviously thanks to the perfumer we most-all have come to appreciate. You could brand this juice under a niche house and I could see it selling for ~200.

I absolutely love this one. I’ve always wanted to find a watery, rainy type of scent since I started out in this infatuation with fragrance. I’m very much a Pisces only because of the water aspect lol, corny I know but I love water, to drink, to look at, to feel on my skin, and it has so many different variations of smells to it in certain circumstances. Trying out “aquatic” scents has been extremely disappointing bc it just smells like shower gel and cologney, hate that stuff. That being said, I love silver mountain water, I think the green and black tea have a watery effect to me. If not watery just a very clean fresh zen smell. And I don’t really see the silver mountain water comparison too much beside maybe the tea. But Bvlgari killed this one, it’s calming, fresh but not like reg freshies. This one is not cologney, it’s not cloyingly synthetic. I don’t know how to really sum this one up except that I get the watery rainy vibes, I get that tea zen, and I get this floral freshness that drives this home. One problem also that I have with this website and reviews in general, scents like this, the fresher ones, probably have ingredients that spoil faster, leading me to wonder what kind of spoiled testers or discounters selling spoiled batches, even sample vials or atomizers can spoil a fragrance. So I take reviews with a grain of salt big time, because I’ve smelled rancid fragrance, thought it was trash and thought who would buy this synthetic mess, then I smelled it somewhere else and it was fine or I even loved it. So keep that in mind guys, these scents spoil like anything else, and maybe wonder why you got the frag for HALF OF RETAIL PRICE, oh maybe because it’s an old ass batch. I’m a guy who pays full price for his fragrance, because I like fresh stuff and those ingredient spoil faster, especially top notes which people pick up first.

Bvlgari Man Rain Essence Bvlgari When Rain Essence came out, It triggered my interest, after all I have a few bottles under Bvlgari Man and liked Glacial Essence. However, initial feedbacks seem to point towards a mediocre release. Managed to get a good deal on Rain Essence and here's my take... On first sprays, you get a lovely orangey tea Opening. Soft, light, delicate opening, gives you the calmness and laid-back feel. I get the tea yea kinda greenish. The orange is somewhat like orange peel, similar type of orange in Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger Prada but much lighter. After 15-20 minutes I get the crystal Muskiness which blends pretty well with the green tea essence and orange essence. I'm not totally familiar with the white lotus notes but it should be it giving the scent the light flora Airyness feel. The mineral amber and woodiness comes in later, yes I get that because Rain Essence isn't Linear, there isn't a lot of notes but it develops for the wearer to get the notes development. After all this is still Alberto Morillas's creation, the whole line is his. Back to the scent I do get Abit of Aquatic in this too. I don't think there's geosmin in it as it doesn't smell earthy damness. If you already own the discontinued Pour Homme Soir or even the og or extreme m, I'll suggest you give Rain Essence a sampling first as there are similarities and vibes to PH Soir, I'll say somewhat +-60% similar. Overall this is an enjoyable light, airy, calm, laid-back fragrance to enjoy over the weekends or holidays or when you want a chill mood.

Does anyone know why is this labelled as a man fragrance?? It smells very unisex to say at least, if not more on the feminine side. Smells fresh and clean. It’s a nice, basic, classic fragrance, soft, smooth, luminous, bright, calming, unpretentious. Light, airy, aquatic, ozonic. After shower type of scent. Beautiful mix of green tea, aquatic floral, musk, citrus, and woods. Very beautifully composed and well balanced. So underrated in my opinion. The main downside of this type of scents is the way they perform. Average longevity with minimal, intimate sillage. Office safe for sure, can’t see anyone being offended by this, unless they hate musky, green tea fragrances. Side note: As a longtime lover of another Bvlgari, Omnia Crystalline, Rain Essence reminds me heavily of that. From the first spray, I was instantly hooked and I knew it reminded me of something that I already had home, but only when I had tested these two side by side I realised that this is very similar to Omnia Crystalline. A less woody version but nonetheless beautiful spring summer scent. If you’re a lover of Omnia Crystalline like me (or the original Issey Miyake, L’Eau d’Issey) and you want something more affordable in the same style of perfumery, created by the same nose, Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas, and you’re not bothered about the perfume gender labelling, this one is a better value for money! Give it a sniff ladies, this is amazing juice for warmer seasons that truly deserves more attention..

Mi perfume favorito para el calor! Como no serlo fue un amor a primera vista, un día estaba en el aeropuerto en Duty Free haciendo la hora probando perfumes, vi el nombre y inmediatamente fui detrás de él "Esencia de lluvia" lo atomize y quede anonadado, encantado por alguna razón (No he visto que nadie diga esto) le sentí un aroma a coco! Pero un coco muy fresco como agua de coco y se me creó la necesidad de tenerlo no lo pude comprar en ese momento pero mi esposa me lo regalo alos meses después. [Reseña olfativa] Es increíble, como no serlo si el perfumista es Alberto morillas, una eminencia en la perfumería haciendo perfumes frescos! En mi opinión su salida tiene esa agua de coco, junto con un Te verde con bastante hielo y levemente esas gotas que salen cuando doblas una cascara de naranja, luego se vuelve levemente floral lo que le da ese toque elegante me imagino esos arboles sakura de japon 🪷 con su toque medio amaderado para mi perfecto! [Conclusión] Ya se me esta acabando y sin duda volveré a comprar otra botella, esto para el calor es perfecto y para uno de esos dias donde la brisa acompaña también, Aroma 10/10, Duración 7/10 es en lo que carece un poco pero también hay tener en cuenta que los perfumes frescos son algo efervescentes, precio 10/10, 80 usd lo encontré me parece muy bien por lo que obtienes.
