Rain

This is a miracle of perfumery to me, freshest thing I've every smelt. Fully smells like you've been swimming in a waterfall and now it's raining i.e. no soap or shampoo on you and you're totally clean drenched in rain. It stays the same too on dry down, incredible. I have a bunch of demeter perfumes and have found them wildly hit and miss, e.g. the dragonfruit and some of the other fruit ones have a distinct toxic toilet cleaner smell in the opening to me. Some others I I totally love. Rain is just amazing Add: I've since tried MFK Aqua Universalis Cologne Forte and Aqua Universalis Forte (the stronger, very different, one). Rain is very similar to Universalis Cologne Forte which is also an incredible perfume. Universalis is slightly more subtle, projects less and doesn't last as long as Rain. I think Universalis you need to put quite a lot on to project at all but it's absolutely divine for your own blissing out I'm in a waterfall feeling...I love them both I can't say which I love more, but obviously I'll be wearing Rain more because it's about a 20th of the price ☺️ Also I generally don't like layering, I like linear clear scents which are hard enough to find without piling them on top of each other to create confusing combinations, that said, I have found Rain adds longevity and a bit of aqua and sophistication to linear fruit scents, e.g I've been layering it with W.Dressroom Peach and got a better more subtle but projecting peach than any expensive Peach perfume I've tried. Plan to try layering with other linear scents. The Peach is like Peach juice mixed with sparkling mineral water. Not Peach soda sugery, just fresh and watery. Really cool.

At first spray I thought "What? Ugh, fail Demeter, this SO does not smell like rain." I was disgruntled and went about my chores. A few minutes later I went outside with the garbage and it began to rain and the air around me was filled with a pungent smell. Could it be? Yes. It most certainly was! Demeter had NAILED IT AGAIN! Apparently when storm fronts move in, especially in wooded/forested areas like mine(MN) the barometric pressure changes and the plants and trees release oils into the air and are carried in the wind. This causes a very particular smell. This is what Demeter bottled in "Rain". I was totally shocked. And very impressed :)

Curious why there are no notes to this. I have the 8.8ml roll on perfume oil and I love it, but don't wear it often as that doesn't go far. Would love a larger spray bottle of it to wear more often, but for now this will do. Just really curious what the notes are that get us here. I don't know how to describe it, it's certainly a "rain" scent, but a very specific time in the rain. There's something very metal to this. It is one that needs to be experienced to understand, and even then, this will leave you scratching your head. Curious indeed.

I used this bottle up so fast! I wish it stayed for longer.. You can perfectly imagine this scent if you go outside when it's pouring rain. I thought the smell was interesting and a bit tangy (not negatively and NOT like sweat or BO), until I did that. It is perfectly rain. Im amazed they managed to make this. I love it and it is my favorite from demeter so far!! They are seriously experts at watery scents! So accurate that it's almost awkward. Personally not a fan of their spiced scents though...

This scent is so so lovely. It really smells like a winter/spring rain and cold humidity to me. I love it so much. It smells like when I would wait for the bus in the morning in front of my grandma's house.
