In The Rain

This is one if the nicer Floraiku scents out of the box. The problem with this brand is that with only three ingredients per scent everything is so linear that it’s all rather beautiful, but simple, without layering one of the (equally expensive) “shadowing” scents. In The Rain, though, is one if the few that works nicely on its own. It’s subtle, but there’s a couple distinct layers - the bergamot is more of the floral variety (I wouldn’t call it a citrus scent at all, in fact) and the “woody musk” (whatever that is) creates a nice underlayer. Seemed to take about fifteen minutes for the Cedar to be noticeably cedary. A slight soapy, aldehyde note became apparent as well, which I wasn’t crazy about but it wasn’t aggressive. Floraiku scents vary wildly in strength, and this is for sure one of the milder ones. It’s lost next to either of the “shadowing” scents .

Absolutely love this one. Another one of the Floraiku collection that changed my mind about notes I used to dislike. This is a very wonderful, slightly resinous zitric cedar perfume, very peaceful vibe to it. I enjoy it very much!

I do not get the notes for this one at all. This smells like wet concrete or a rainy day in the woods. its gorgeous and very calming, i find projection is about average but it has great longevity

In this fragrance the bergamot is handled much better then the way they handled it in their fragrance Just a Rose. This one is a clean woody citrus fragrance that has a very slight powdery dry down. It isn't my favorite cedar based fragrance. Those 2 are Mason Louis Marie's #2 Le Long Fond and Abel's Green Cedar. And the reason for that is probably because they leave out bergamot all together. This sample went in my husbands collection. I went through a I need to find a unisex fragrance faze while sampling during COVID lockdown and I found out I'm still a floral/sweet/oriental girl. Oh well he got to try some really great male fragrances.

Working off a sample from the set- this is really pleasant- gentle, bergamonty cedar which just almost fougere/ barbershop. Longevity and sillage are just OK. But that price point is LOLZ. 260GBP for 60ml? Not worth it at all. There are MANY similar fragrances out there that achieve more or less the same for a much lower price.
