Crystal Rain

The Aventus vibe is there. Especially similar to the darker smoky batches. However, it is the green apple which are in focus and not pineapple. When drying down Crystal Rain takes another direction than Aventus. A very nice smooth cedar comes more and more through amongst other notes in the composition. I get some herbals together with bergamot and cedar. Very alluring stuff! Crystal Rain (maybe the most beautyful name in the history of perfumery) is fresh, crowd pleasing and versatile. I love fragrances that has niche quality, but at the same time are easy to wear. A problem with Aventus wearing it to work is that its very loud, and I had negative comments because of that. Crystal Rain are perfect as a work fragrance. Its more subtle, but still project in a way that will get you noticed. It will give people around you gentle wifts, and thats what you want from a fragrance. Its both professional, sexy and playful. My gf do not like most of my fragrances, but she actually complimented me on Crystal Rain which is a very good sign :) Does it smell like Crystal Rain? Imagine that you are in the forest and a crystal raindrop is hanging from a fresh green leaf. You can smell the floor of the forest and the woods. An array from the sun penetrates the tree tops and hits the crystal rain drop on the leaf. You watch the beautyful white light while enjoying a green apple. Thats how Crystal Rain smells like. It has this earthy darker aspects, but at the same time it is fresh, bright and vibrant. It is located where heaven and earth meet. 9/10

fresh and very original crystal that fits perfectly with the name out. Bergamot, apple, orange blossom, with a soft touch aromatic thyme, all with a perfect balance and a lovely resulting aroma, a note of cypress that transmits peace and highlights the floral soon appear, here and you feel the jasmine brings a soft Animal hue and cedar begins to be felt with a soft leather which gives some character to drying and makes highlight ambered base notes, ambergris and amber in perfect harmony. A slightly sweet dried transmitting not only peace but who carries sensuality. At times, I was transported to the future, it is as if Ellena had made the futuristic glass and transparent version version of Terre mixed with Figaro. Duration and moderate trail with qualities and very good composition. I love that Josier work in line Ellena. Rating: 8

Opens clean and fresh. Where bergamot and green apple are the stars, followed by a discrete orange blossom note. The kind like you have a bunch of flowers freshly taken from the orange tree and stays with you all day long. After a while the jasmine make his entrance with cedar and leather notes by his side. Pass few hours the ambergris is the protagonist, leaving in second place the floral and woodsy notes. It is a very pleasant fragrance. Ideal for all kind of days and seasons. For me represents freshness, peace and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Very evocative and emotional to my mind/associations fragrance. Cypresses, ambergris and cedar are notes that my skin projects till the Moon and back here, hence it is a forest in a strong wind. When the tops of the trees are going back and forward, smell of wild thyme, that grows under your feet. I also agree with some reviewers - cobblestones after the rain been mentioned by blake.lee - indeed, I get it. It has ancient and at the same time futuristic quality, somewhat clean and self-absorbing. Loving it.

Okay, listen...Ill be the first to tell you when a fragrance does or does not smell like Aventus, since Aventus is my favorite frag of all time.... This DOES remind me of it... NO it is not a clone. NO it is not the same. Yes, it has similarities and, yes, it has *some* of the same components, but not all. At first spray I was very surprised of the quality. It doesn't have the same chemical affect as L'aventure or CDNIM. It smells fairly natural. The opening is realistically close to the modern, more fruity batches of Aventus. The biggest thing this one lacks when being compared to Aventus is the woody nature/woody depth. This one contains more of a spicy-herbaceous backbone whereas Aventus relies on the woodiness for a backbone. Now, don't get me wrong, this is similar, however Aventus still has another dimension. This stuff is good, quality, and very pleasing! I would say (for anyone that cares), this is 85% Aventus....It's solid.
