Rain Day

I just got a travel size of this today and I’ve wanted it for a while. I had gotten a sample I believe one time of this and loved it so I wanted to buy one and started small With the travel size to make sure I do love it as much as I remember and omg I really do! It’s my everything type of perfume! The aquatic, “blue” fragrances I sometimes call them-it does strike similar to Marc jacobs rain, Clean Rain, green tea cucumber by Elizabeth Arden, white musk free by the body shop, those types if anyone understands what I mean by those-blue type perfumes. I can’t wait to find a big bottle and hopefully a gift set type with lotion body wash etc kind of thing. It’s clean, it could be used for both men and women but does go more feminine than masculine. It’s certainly office safe, all weather and would be really nice for casual type days-today for example it’s actually pouring rain here and we’re under a severe rain warning and it’s really humid and gross feeling and this just smells so nice on while I’m in the air conditioning and just laying around.

I can't believe the ratings as this is one of the best fragrances ever made for its category. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I still wear this and ALWAYS get compliments and long lasting fresh, green action. This reminds me of Clean Rain, and Universalis, but this is the best rain-based fragrance I've come across. It's potent, clean, powdery, and blended richly. I'll buy another bottle before I can't find them anymore. Derek Lam is very underrated.

This fragrance is the perfect modern balance of dewy green floral and fresh woods. It's simplistic formula is refreshing and straight forward. I wear this during a busy day while I'm running errands . I can wear it 6 plus hours and it still on my skin as I come home. I also think it scus more in the shared category, my husband smells fantastic in it too. It's clean and refreshing, but not in a synthetic cheap way. I love it!

As a fresh rain fragrance enthusiast, this one was so special to me. I discovered it off a subscription service last year, and I instantly became enamored with it. The notes mix together to form a new and exciting fragrance that stays with you and never gets old, it was my signature scent for awhile and is super fresh. One of the most underrated perfumes from a line that is so interesting and loveable.

I found this today at tjmaxx for 6.99 (body spray mist) its soft and clean its definitely unisex. I wish it last more than 30 minutes. It's a new favorite for me I have to buy the edp. I've been searching for something close to water calligraphy by kilian. This isnt quite it but its similar in terms of citrus and softness

I was excited to get Rain Day because neroli and vetiver are two of my top favorite smells and they are also the only two notes in this. I sprayed my new bottle expecting to smell exactly that-- orange blossoms (basically the same as neroli) and vetiver. I was annoyed to find something reminiscent of Dream from The Gap, which I had (and loved) in my early 20s but was not looking to replicate. I wanted to smell like wet pavement and negative ions with a backdrop of woods and dewy orange blossoms. I don't know if that's what other people get when they smell Rain Day on me, and I'm not sure that's what I get either. I do know that I very much like the drydown. It smells fresh, like gray spring and fall days with just enough chill in the air to grab a cardigan on the way out the door. It's a mood unto itself. When the skies are cloudy and the air is humid, Rain Day comes out of hibernation. I don't wear it frequently, but I am glad it's in my collection.

I received a decant of this as a surprise. And boy, was i surprised! I hadn't heard of this perfume or this house before now. The immediate spray to me is very unisex. It's reminiscent of what my skin smells like after a shower, but brighter. ..somewhere between Dove and Irish Spring. In fact, this is probably what Irish Spring soap would smell like if they made an "all natural" version. The further into this scent I go, the more feminine it seems to me. I'm a couple hours into wearing it, and it somehow smells familiar but i can't peg it! Even my wife said it smells like something she wore in grade school or high school, and just like me she couldn't exactly peg it either. Great stuff, as said i was definitely surprised! It's going to be 107 degrees with 0 humidity so I'm really putting this to the test today. So far, so good. I really like it.

Rain Day by Derek Lam smells like a really good men’s cologne! Thank you to the neroli for making this citrus-fresh without having the typical chemical lemon bomb smell. My running complaint with these fragrances is that you pay niche prices for drugstore quality fragrances. I love me some cheap goodies, but I do not want to pay $95 for something that’s should really be a $10 body spray.

Soft and clean. Definitely more of a morning dew drop feel rather than a fresh and heavy rain. I’d relate it to nature’s version of a “clean linen” scent: it’s not something people will think to comment on, because it flies pleasantly under the radar. If you want to feel refreshed or just want to wear something around the house for your own enjoyment, this is perfect.

This is a true unisex fragrance, in my opinion. It used to be my signature scent for about half a year, and I always got so many compliments when I wore it. It smells a bit mature to me, and it's really fresh and clean. I think it can be worn year round, honestly. It’s also such a great deal since it's relatively cheap and great quality!

A super pleasant, if common smelling freshie frag. While not unique it does deliver on the name by evoking a feeling and smell of rain, which is both comforting and uplifting. Perfect for everyday and just out of the shower.

To me, this is more of a unisex fragrance leaning towards masculine. It's clean and bright and the name suits it. I found the longevity to be its worst habit... It's AWOL after an hour. It's still pleasant.

The opening really is actually evocative of a rainy day! Drydown is just kind of generic earthy citrus. Definitely one to try again in the heat of summer, rather than the middle of winter!

It does evoke rain. The woodsiness is very faint and came on later. It seemed a bit powdery to me early on. Nice enough, but nothing special.

I felt a touch of citrus note in this perfume. Why the citrus note is not displayed in this Fragrance Notes page?

Great fragrance for the price. You can usually find this one for pretty cheap. 100% a unisex fragrance.

Somewhat Bounce dryer sheet, somewhat 'fresh rain' candle. Doesn't smell as cheap or screechy, but it also smells more like a home fragrance than something a person would wear. Super linear and not long lasting, like the other Derek Lam scents I've tried. Really unimpressed with this line.

This actually smells amazingly fresh and enticing if you find yourself wearing this outside on a fall day after a rain shower. Don't expect anything very unique though, it majorly reminds me of something Adidas made (makes?) in my childhood.

i get some light floral notes, i want to say yellow but I really don't know how to qualify this. its really odd. wouldn't get a full bottle but I might go through my sample.

Dry petrichor right before the rain starts falling. The 10 Crosby scents are a lower rent version of Margiela's Replica line, I think. They're trying to tell a story, but the story here is a two line blurb, versus a longer, more prosaic bit of flash fiction that Margiela would offer. Because the purpose here is to evoke the idea of something, I think that Rain Day is fairly successful, but it would honestly be better as a candle or home diffuser because it's just so liner and boring. I think it's masc-leaning unisex, and it smelled nice on my husband and on me, but it is not nearly interesting enough to warrant the price. I also think the packaging looks like wannabe fancy body wash or something, and I am not digging that. This could be good for layering, so if you got a sample or even a FB at a steal you could play around with it, but it's not interesting enough or well-crafted enough to really worry about otherwise unless you're on a mission to sniff every petrichor or vetiver scent.
