Rain perfumes definitely lean more into earthy notes like moss, the mineral twang of sodden soil and metallic edges that evoke wet concrete. But there’s definitely lightness too. “Look out for green, herbaceous notes like chamomile and violet leaf, which themselves have a rain-like, water quality…or citrus oils like lemon, mandarin and orange which can be used to recreate the freshness of rain,” suggests Brown. Why do people love rain scents?

How can I ensure I'm using a clean, non-toxic perfume?

Okay so this literally smells like a very nice-smelling dryer sheet. So.. marketing = top notch. The question you have to ask yourself is if you want to smell that way. It's polarizing because to some that's appealing and to others it's not. It has that airy, top of the nose almost peppery smell that a dryer sheet has if you take a good whiff of one. Honestly, to me it's pleasant and comforting, but I wouldn't want to buy a full bottle as I don't really want to smell like that as it's not really my style. However I like having my 5ml tester so every so often I can smell it and go "Damn. That really smells like a bougie dryer sheet." There is some floral muskiness in there that elevates it. I can definitely see some people really liking it as a skin scent for those of you who like more interesting, comforting and nostalgic scents. 3.5/5

Clean Reserve is for those who are conscious about the ingredients used in their beauty products, specifically their perfume. If you have sensitive skin and tend to struggle finding a clean perfume that delivers a strong scent, Clean Reserve is the brand for you. With the clean beauty movement on the rise, the brand is careful about the sourcing of their ingredients, as well as the ones they don't allow in their products. Why SpaceNK Loves I have a bit of a bias against this one because I am not the biggest fan of the rose note, so that may color my perspective. To be honest though, this is a lovely, airy rose scent with some body thanks to the base notes (I really get the musk and cedar.) If you like softer rose scents, it's worth testing. The aldehydes and water notes are not too prominent, and are there to lift the composition a little and give it a soapy quality, but I can't say I'm the biggest fan of it due to the fact that I'm not a big rose fan. To me it's pleasant, but nothing great. 3/5 that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity.The list is endless and ever-evolving, and it goes beyond nostalgic specifics, too. There are scents in nature that come up time-and-time again when people are asked to describe their favourite smells—freshly-cut grass, crystalline water (like our favourite new launch, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Media Cologne Forte), the head of a newborn baby and, my personal favourite, just-fallen rain. And thankfully, a whole host of modern perfumers have made it their mission to capture the very essence of rainfall in a wave of alluring, rain-inspired perfumes. What is a rain scent?

So I don't know about anyone else, but these notes really intrigued me (cactus? balsam fir? pimento? praline?). This is a real classy scent. Definitely more rich and nighttime appropriate than the other more quiet scents from this line. I really do get the cypress and balsam fir with the white florals and this sweet suede/musk/praline vibe. Sexy, intimate. I'm no expert on oud but I am smelling it in this one and it begins to come through in the drydown more. Slightly smoky, woody, one of the more complex scents from the line. Like the other scents from this line, it's not loud and in your face. Not a boring wood scent by any means. 4/5
