White Collection : Rain
Commodity (2013)

More floral than I would prefer a "rain" scent to be. Pleasant, but not particularly memorable. I can't help but think, due to the straight-forward names this brand uses, that I'm expecting something closer to a realistic soliflore with many of them. Something more akin to Demeter, perhaps, but with better quality. And that's really not what these are, so maybe that's the disconnect for me.

This scent is more of a floral musky fragrance that is pleasant, but it may disappoint those who were searching for a petrichor scent. There's a hint of aquatic and ozonic qualities, but they're in the background. I wish it had toned down the sweetness and added more vetiver, and maybe some violet leaves to make it greener.

Viola from Fiele fragrances does a great job with the lemon verbena note by adding violet leaf, so this fragrance could benefit from doing the same. Performance is on par with other Commodity fragrances, and you should expect to respray this at least once during the day.

Fem florals and laundry musk opening. Smells like scent beads for your clothes washing machine. Very clean, not earthy or musty like rain can be sometimes.

I could still smell it in skin about 7 hours later, so decent longevity but the projection is pretty light throughout.

I was not a fan of this one, but I also generally dislike aquatics and tend to shy away from anything with calone notes in general with very few exceptions. Given that, I think it might be more more me than the fragrance. People who like this style, seem to really enjoy this one.

This is not an earthy rain, but instead a tropical rain with lush aquatic florals wafting up from my wrists. It is beautiful, but I was hoping for more of a dirty scent, like that loamy smell that rises up after a summer thunderstorm. No, indeed, this is much more delicate; not that it is a bad thing, just not I'm looking for.

I'll happily use up the rest of my decant, but it's not full bottle worthy for me.

Citrus peel is intense in the opening. With time, it becomes sweeter and less interesting. The general tone is moist, sweet, and floral.
