Marc Jacobs Rain Splash 2016

I LOVE this perfume ♡ Fragrances really are subjective... Maybe some people think this is boring or no better than cheap drugstore bodyspray, but it's one of the most beautiful aquatics I've personally smelled. I'm a huge fan of Kenzo L'eau par Kenzo Pour Femme, but I tend to stop buying perfume once it's discontinued, so I haven't hunted it down since 2012. Another reviewer commented that this smells exactly like that fragrance, so I was enticed even further into wanting this. After a few months of debating, I decided to blind purchase this, and I'm soooo happy I did! :) ♡ I think the comparison to Kenzo L'eau par is a good one. There's something in this perfume that also triggers my brain to think of D&G L'Imperatrice 3 when I smell it - maybe a fruit note that reminds me of the watermelon in that? I think if you like the fragrance notes and/or if you like floral aquatics at all, this perfume is worth giving a chance... If you didn't like it, I'm sure someone else you know would - I would consider this a very inoffensive and overall generally pleasing fragrance. Definitely ideal for spring & summer, but I would also wear this year-round. + Just an FYI: I think this is much more of a feminine scent. Slightly surprised to see that men wear this too. But maybe that's just me.

You're outside in rain gear playing in the rain in the grass in your back yard next to a dryer vent. You hear all the droplets on the leaves around you and can't help but feel mesmerized by the sound. You go inside and take off all your damp clothes and put a freshly warmed pair of cotton pajamas on to get rid of the chill. That is this scent. I bought this after Oakcha Morning Rain (their take of Gypsy Water) and decided I wanted more Petrichor rain scents. I spend a lot of the time in woods full of pine and birch and moss and large glacier dropped stones and wanted something to capture the joy of swimming in the woods in a cold pond after the rain. This wasn't it. Was it ever lovely tho. I can't help but hug my sleave and feel comforted.

I looovvveee this one from MJ range! I've fallen in love since the first sniff few years ago on a sample product in a perfumery store. And finally I get this rare item in my country! The smell is just like its name... Rain! It smell so watery fresh like the pouring rain in a meadow. Just fresh, soft, fresh, so soothing til I just want to sniff my wrist all the time when I wear this. :) I imagine myself in the middle of wet savana after the rain. I hope MJ wouldn't stop producing this item! It's my forever favorite fragrance to use both day and night. The silage is very good and long lasting as well, up to 4-5 hours on my skin. Repurchase? Suurrreeee... :D

My sister gave me a bottle of this for my high school graduation in 2008. To this day Marc Jacobs Rain is my absolute favorite aquatic summer scent of all time. It's fresh and clean, bright and uplifting and smells exactly like fresh rain in my opinion. Very much a spring/summer scent, it's appropriate for any situation. I wish this was something I could permanently buy and I'm absolutely clinging to the end of a back up bottle from the 2016 re-release. To this day, I haven't been able to find any other aquatic quite like this. Many of them lean unisex to masculine in my experience and this is a very feminine aquatic.

Does not smell like rain. Despite that, I absolutely adore it. It smells exactly like squeaky clean laundry detergent. I get some strawberry from it but it's not overpowering and is masterfully done. The watery notes are present. I don't get much of anything else, though. Love the light blue colour of this! The bottle won't likely win any design award, but it is lovely (if not slightly wieldy.) The cap is HUGE, but I like it. I find it kawaii somewhat. This is in the same vibe as The Body Shop White Musk l'Eau. If you like that one, this one will also greatly appeal to you, too. Totally unisex.
