What does When the Rain Stops smell like?

It opens cool and lively with green notes, bergamot and pink pepper. In the heart, Turkish rose, Jasminum grandiflorum and aquatic notes soften the floral side and keep a damp freshness. The base of pine needle, Indonesian patchouli and moss settles the scent onto a woody, earthy ground.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead, while evening and night out stay in the background. Voters read it as masculine more often than feminine, though feminine and modern votes are far from rare. Bliss Bliss Eau de Toilette and Jeanne en Provence Acqua have a close profile.
