This scent follows the rain before it touched the earth. It stays close to the skin while never standing still. You’ve never actually smelled the rain. Until now. By studying the airborne microbes traveling within the rain, Future Society uncovered scent molecules that perfumer Michael Nordstrand translated into a shimmering atmospheric fragrance. It features notes of black tea, blue lotus extract, pear, eucalyptus, orris root and musk. Wandering Rain is an eau de parfum, edp.
Fragrantica: "I believe this would fall under the possibly unique category of Fluffy Green Fragrances. It's fluffy and cozy while remaining completely aquatic and leafy and bright. Honestly, well done, Future Society. This is unlike anything I've smelled before. Lasts about as long as you'd expect something in this category to last- 3, maybe 4 hours. Respray and float away."
Fragrantica: "I am not getting the notes individually, but rather get the overall blend of notes that read “rain.” Like sweeter, greener petrichor. Definitely smells spa-like. As if rain were re-imagined as clean and refreshing. Love it."
Fragrantica: "This is a really interesting fragrance. At different times in the wear I can pick out each of the various notes listed on the box, but it's a really hard scent to describe as a whole. In the opening it feels atmospheric and earthy on my skin in a way that reminds me of L'epoque Dreams and Nightmares. As it dries down, I get more of the floral and tea notes and I'm reminded of other floral tea fragrances like JLo's Still or Roja Serenity Blend. Not the same, but in the same family, although this one does feel more ozonic and rain-soaked. Like sipping an iced tea outside under your awning while it's raining, and you're surrounded by potted plants and a little garden pond nearby. I enjoy it more and more the longer it sits on my skin. Excellent rainy day scent. If you love a "pond fairy" vibe, but want to smell like a pond fairy in the rain, then this could definitely be for you."
Fragrantica: "To me this is the perfect, “my skin but better” scent for me. It’s very light and airy, definitely a good option for office, classroom, travel, etc. it’s not a heavy, deep musk, it’s fresh and clean smelling. It does have a slightly aquatic feel, the lotus comes through with that. The eucalyptus is pretty subdued but with that and the tea it does give that slightly fresh and green feel. Really nice understated but comforting and clean fragrance."
Fragrantica: "I really like this! It's unique enough to stand out amongst my fresh scents and the black tea gives it a little backbone. The dry down is very unisex in my opinion, quite fresh and almost marine. Much like Cloud Reverie, I'd say this is office-friendly and pretty non-offensive. I do not think this smells AT ALL like Merit Retrospect or Liis Studied (I own and wear both frequently), however I am not sure that I know of anything this smells similar too. I will have to come back. Very happy to have this in my collection and love the bottles."
