What does Desert Rain smell like?
It opens with juniper, cactus blossom, nutmeg and bergamot for a crisp start. In the heart, sage, rain accord, papyrus and green tea bring out the aquatic side and keep the scent green and clean. The base of leather, frankincense, sandalwood and dry woods settles into a woody, leathery and lightly earthy finish, with the floral accord staying in the background. Penhaligon's Endymion Concentré and Aēsop Karst have a close profile.
