Rain
True to the name, the opening is wet and grey-green: bergamot reads cool and slightly bitter, with an immediate aquatic-ozonic quality that suggests rain on stone rather than sea spray.

By the editors · 2 min readTrue to the name, the opening is wet and grey-green: bergamot reads cool and slightly bitter, with an immediate aquatic-ozonic quality that suggests rain on stone rather than sea spray. Aldehydes lift the top, giving it a clean, almost soapy brightness.
Jasmine and freesia carry the heart with a transparent floral wash — neither indolic nor sugary, more like petals seen through fogged glass. The effect is airy and slightly powdery, with the florals reading cooler than usual thanks to the watery framing. Projection is intimate; this is a close, atmospheric scent that hovers rather than announces.
Vetiver and musk anchor a quiet base — earthy and faintly mineral on one side, soft skin-musk on the other, with a thin veil of amber adding warmth. The overall character is a clean aquatic-floral with a melancholy edge.
