Renier Perfumes Black Rain is a unisex scent that sets a fresh floral opening against dark notes of leather, patchouli and musk, and it suits fall and winter evenings best.

What does Black Rain smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. Fall comes first, followed by winter and spring, and leisure and evening are the most picked occasions. Voters split between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side. Black Rain has been discontinued.

Rose and chamomile open it, leading into leather, violet and jasmine at the heart, then orange blossom, patchouli, musk and ambergris at the base. The fresh, floral side rests on spicy, earthy, woody and leathery ground, while animal and resinous tones carry the polished start into a soft but dark dry-down.
