Rain

Marc Jacobs · 2006

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Marc Jacobs Rain is a fresh, green, aquatic women's fragrance that pairs clementine, woodland strawberry and grass with a rain accord; it has been discontinued. The top is clementine, woodland strawberry, grass and cypress, with fruity sweetness kept in check by a green coolness. The heart brings rain accord, sunflower, orchid and passion fruit, tilting the scent toward floral and aquatic. Tree moss, musk, amber and teakwood settle underneath as a soft base. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most mentioned settings. It reads mostly feminine and modern. Calvin Klein CK One (Eau de Toilette) and Clean Rain (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

James (Eau de Parfum)

7.1

By/Rosie Jane

Fresh · Floral · Green

Eau de Parfum

By/Rosie Jane James Eau de Parfum is a fresh, green and lightly fruity floral for women, built around green jasmine, mandarin water and Kadota fig. James wears with moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the occasions named most often, with business wear not far behind. It reads as a feminine fragrance. It opens with green jasmine, citrus notes and mandarin water for a bright, cool start, softened by the rain accord and the solar note. In the heart, Kadota fig and gardenia turn the floral side sweeter and creamier. Amberwood, forest soil and soil close it on an earthy base.

Clean · 2010

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Clean Outdoor Shower Fresh is a light, fresh, citrusy and aquatic scent made for women, and it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and does not travel far. The number of votes is small, so this reading is not definitive. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing more can be said about when it suits. Rain accord, bergamot and water lily lead the scent, with violet leaf adding a green edge and sandalwood a soft woody backdrop. Alongside the fresh, citrus feel, a synthetic tone comes through.

Mémoire Archives

Fresh · Aquatic · Oriental

Eau de Parfum

Mémoire Archives Wish You Were Here Eau de Parfum is a fresh, earthy women's scent built from rain accord, coffee, petrichor and almond. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin for a fair while without projecting far. The ratings rest on few votes, so they are a rough guide. It is positioned as a feminine fragrance. The rain accord and petrichor give it a cool, wet-earth freshness. Coffee adds a soft warmth, and almond brings a creamy, lightly sweet edge. The aquatic and earthy accords lead, while the oriental side stays in the background. Solstice Scents During the Rain and Demeter Fragrance Library Petrichor (Cologne) have a close profile.

Samara

7.8

Gather Perfume · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Gather Perfume Samara is a fresh scent for women that sets the smell of rain and soil against cool citrus and green notes. The notes read as a single whole: the rain accord and soil set the ground, while melon rind adds a light fruity freshness. Lemon vervain, kaffir lime leaf and lemon blossom bring the citrus forward, and elm seed and violet leaf strengthen the green side. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though with few votes these ratings are tentative. Without season or occasion votes there is little to say about when to wear it, but its fresh, earthy profile suggests a calm everyday scent. Yves Rocher Fraîcheur Végétale de… Verveine and Chloé Verbena have a close profile.

En Plein Air

Jouissance · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Eau de Parfum

Jouissance En Plein Air Eau de Parfum is a fresh, green scent that feels like open air just after rain, made with women in mind. It begins with lemon, grapefruit and bergamot, which give it a bright, crisp citrus edge. In the heart, a rain accord and white blossoms bring a floral, green character. Musk in the base softens everything, and the creamy and earthy touches stay in the background, adding a little warmth to the freshness. The result is a light, clean scent, and Nishane Colognisé and Rochas Eau de Rochas Fraîche have a close profile.
