PERFUMER H RAIN CLOUD REVIEWS
Fragrantica: Lovely smell ! Wish rain really smelled like this ! Not an aquatic fragrance at all... a rather sweet, smooth floral scent instead.
Fragrantica: Very nice. A little old school ylang-ylang, rough on the drydown, balanced with orange blossom, and definitely with a little bit of jasmine somewhere. More musky than powdery to my nose (or a very 80s, Paris-like powder), and I think the vetiver is very light. A classic nicely remodeled.
Fragrantica: I'm considering purchasing a full bottle but I need to test it once again since I'm not sure yet. It seems that on my skin it doesn't have that much of projection and longevity is around 4 hours. I don't have any ylang ylang perfume in my collection since I was never into that note even though it's really comforting scent so hopefully this will be my first ylang-yalng perfume. Also I was curious to read some of reviews here but there is not many of them. In terms of the smell this is ylang ylang mixed with white flowers (prob jasmine and lily) and it’s really soft and subtle. Also there is slightly bitterness that comes from green angelica. If I try hard I can smell that humid tropical air mixed with the beautiful flowers smell just before it rains but it's not the first picture that comes to my mind while I'm smelling this perfume. Also I'm a little bit baffled if I like this perfume because of that story what this perfume represents or I really like this scent. It's not a cheap one so I need more testing for sure. UPDATE: I bought the bottle of Rain Cloud. Could not stop thinking of it. Also this perfume reminds me strongly of black locust flower scent. 10/10
Fragrantica: Rain Cloud is a long-lasting, fairly linear but sophisticated, semi-sweet creamy musk scent. There's musky angelica and a high quality white musk in the base making this too much of a festival of musk for me. Others will enjoy this kind of thing more. There's a well-placed, soft, banana-ish ylang-ylang — divine! — and a hint of vanilla in the base. The other florals don’t feature as prominently. Beautifully composed and worth sampling for fans of the primary notes.
