During the Rain

My damp, cold basement and petrichor dream come true. At first this is what it smells like, but I swear there is some lavender in the mix because over time it smells like a cold, damp basement with the scent of laundry steam mixed in. There is a persistent wet soil note that is so perfect. I've wanted a fragrance like this *forever*. I love this stuff so much I instantly needed a full bottle, which comes as a 5ml roller ball parfum. I would mostly wear this on its own, but it would be so great to add dimension to other frags, especially soliflores of all kinds. Neroli, rose, daffodil, lilac and hyacinth are all florals I’d try layering with. Genius stuff! Update: I wore it again, and my daughter screamed, "DIRT!" I said, "Yes, it smells just like dirt." Then she said, "I looooove it!" =D

I've been avoiding to write this 'review' as it is one of my most favorite perfumes I ever owned. Yes, it's muddy, moldy, wet, damp, dark, earthy, which I love as it isn't just plain mushroom smell that reminds you of 'Oh-oh, something's gone really bad in the cupboard', it's like mud and mold where it's supposed to be muddy and moldy - in nature. But then after some hours it becomes a really pleasant smell I can't quite explain. It's nothing precise, not sweet nor medicinal nor flowery, but it's kind of all of the above. I have an oil-based one so keep that in mind. Thank you, Angela, for keeping my head in places where my body can't or won't go.

Wet soil, wet clay pots, wet pebbles...the petrichor of my dreams, so realistic and beautiful! Amazing art by Solstice Scents. I will wear this with TNT PK a great tuberose, Le Rayon Vert by SP and a smokey scent like Manor Fire by SS and create my own Bolt of Lightning!

A very accurate rain smell! Heavy on the concrete but just about exactly what I was looking for. So good. I'm anemic so it has the capability of making my mouth water. I'm definitely going to use this for layering, or just sniffing in general.

Smells like wet pavement and dirt. I think it is the best smell in the world, but my friend says it smells like clothes left wet in the laundry machine too long. It is very intimate. Layering it with other nature-y smells is amazing. Love it!
