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.

"Rain" is my favorite fragrance, perhaps because even if it's bottled, it doesn't feel like a perfume at all.

It really does smell of rain :) It's a wonderful fragrance but so very short lived.

Smells like fresh lemon water.

Really disliked this fragrance after initial purchase which was a blind buy. The best way I could desribe my first impressions was the smell of singed damp clothes! If you've ever tried eagerly to dry a damp garment infront of an open fire and got it too close... that horrible singed smell it gives off, thats what this fragrance reminded me of! Even with the dry down it still seemed somewhat overly chemical and synthetic. At first thought about maybe using it as a room freshner but I give it a few more shots and eventually it won me over, others have commented on how clean and fresh it is! I don't get the singed damp garment impression from it anymore. Now it reminds me of Vodka! I'm most likey to reach for this one after a nice hot shower on a really rainy day!! I guess shower fresh + rainy day = demeter rain for me!!

Judging by the name I’m pretty sure this was supposed to smell like rain, so the question is : did Demeter succeed in capturing the smell that so many people love ? In short I’d say no. I mean it smells ok, opening with rather sharp floor cleaner notes but within a short period morphing into something sweet, slightly cucumber calone-like that ends up like so many other so-called aquatics. It’s rather fresh, soapy and clean and could easily be marketed as a unisex “cologne” in the vein of 4711 (or even a contemporary men’s beach scent) etc. without anyone raising an eyebrow. It is very green to me and rather than rain, I envision leaves in a newly watered blooming garden. Nothing to dislike, but a rather ordinary scent of chemical melon with a poor longevity.

Nice one! My small splash bottle of Rain arrived today, as I was curious about some of the nature-inspired scents Demeter makes. I find this scent light and pleasant. It has an initial cucumber-like freshness with a touch of violet or other elusive floral, along with lightly scratched orange peel. When I try to smell it globally from a bit farther away, and when it has dried down a bit, it could be reminiscent of that just-starting-to-rain smell when large summer drops hit warm, dusty pavement. On the whole, a good value, as it is fun and smells more interesting and complex than the affordable price it can be bought at.

Very sweet and wonderful. My preference for a rain scent would be their Petrichor perfume, although I did enjoy using up the roll-on of this. In comparison to their other water scents this is much cleaner and more refreshing than their heavier 'Thunderstom' perfume or crisp 'frozen pond'. Very aquatic, but not as much of a dirty, ozonic rain for me to wear more often. Definitely purchase if you're okay with reapplying frequently, but for the price I personally don't feel bad going through a bottle quickly.

It's giving straight up orange. I don't understand how this happened, either, because my sample enchanted me enough to go in for a 100ml bottle! Then I received the bottle, and bam, orange. That being said, I still like it? I am a very sweaty person, and this scent takes on this really nice sea-breeze-esque flavor when I've sweated in it. It's also very refreshing at every stage of wear. I don't feel like I wasted my money, but I probably should've gone for Wet Garden instead.

I love Rain - especially on a hot humid summer day! Unlike Thunderstorm, which has a moldy wet-dirt and ozone overtone, THIS down-pour is fresh and clean. Makes me feel like I'm sitting in tall grasses by a mountain lake with cool raindrops falling on my skin in the middle of a summer shower. Lasting power is about the same as other Demeter frags I've tried...two to three hours for me. But hey, it cools me down! :)

Accurate rain smell with ripe honey dew melon and a little cucumber. Clean, blue, freshness with minimal saltiness produces aquatic vibes. Heavy application results in med projection that’s fleeting even when present. But, that is accurate to how you catch whiffs of rain. Enjoyable enough. Not in love, but happy with it. Can’t help but wonder how it could be done better or made more complicated.

Imagine the hottest day in summer of your childhood, sweating while doing just nothing, earth and plants screeming for water and then there comes the rain. It's cool refreshing rain drops on the hot streets, to me. Nothing else, maybe a hint of wet pure soil, but most of it, it's the still sunwarm street mingling with the pure scent of rain drops, very likable.

Rain is a calone overdose with mineral and ozonic nuances. I'm normally not a fan of calone but here it works, truly evoking a sweet fragrant garden (with a melon patch!) during a warm rain. I've lived in many rainy climates, and the warmer ones really do smell like this in the summer!

It smells like a heavy watery rain along with some citrus, melon, and green notes. I was really blown away by how well this comes across, and how addictive it smells. The price point is so cheap. I bought this for someone else as a gift, but I may need to pick this one up for layering.

This simply smells of melon. It is a single note of melon, very light, fades quickly, fresh, great for spring, good for teenage girls as a first perfume.

Smells just like the moment before the rain in the Maldives :)
