Acid Rain

I got a couple of samples of Acid Rain at scentfest in SF, and have worn it on several occasions now. I was immediately brought back to my late grandmother's tomato garden after a summer rain. Fresh tomato leaf is quickly accompanied by damp earth and a lingering almost distant rainfall. A subtle bitter sweetness that I assume is Tamarind kind of lingers in the silage, but it's almost non-existent for me I really had to look for it. I feel like it's pretty unisex as my fiance and I have been sharing the several samples we got. Might lean a bit more feminine, but I wear it comfortably and confidently and find it a very unisex fragrance. For me personally it's nostalgic and wonderful. Some may find it hard to find as they seem to just be getting into the US market, but I will likely be buying a full bottle at some point. 6.5/10

A big pink peony with powdery mildew is in full bloom as cilantro grows nearby in a dewy garden at dawn. It’s giving me “gray musk”, if that’s a thing. It’s pungent and heady, just like actual peony flowers. Unfortunately, I find them stifling. It’s ironic, given the proliferation of fantasy “peony” notes in perfumery that smell absolutely nothing like peonies, that here it’s (unwittingly?) been nailed. Tomato leaf and tamarind are nowhere to be found for me.
