When the Rain Stops

I get the aquatic vibe but this does not have a traditional "rain" or "after the rain" scent if that makes any sense. It does not have that earthy, soil smell to deserve that description. Instead, When the Rain Stops smells very green, floral and aquatic. For me, the visual description would be a drop of rain on a flower or a leaf. The Turkish rose is very prominent and you can smell the jasmine too. At the base, it has a very subtle woodiness in my opinion, most likely due to patchouli and pine notes listed above. As a guy, I tested this at the store assuming it's a unisex fragrance. I even thought it was unisex after smelling it, until checking Fragrantica to see that this fragrance is advertised for women. For some people, this can feel synthetic as it has some sort of sharpness to it but for me it is quite balanced, fresh, clean and calming. Definitely a spring/summer scent. I am not saying you can't wear it in winter/fall, but it really does not make any sense to do so. I enjoyed this one.

Beautiful, soft, nostalgic rain type fragrance. A clean, cool rain with a hint of flowers. Not for everyone and not extremely complex or mulitlayered, but it has development. A slight synthetic nuance that I personally don't mind. Reminds me of my childhood sitting out on the black top driveway watching the rain fall in the midwest. Lovely and great office or summer fragrance. perfect fragrance for indoors or during the rain. Sleeper longevity even in the high heat, despite the less loud sillage. Interestingly one I have received very many compliments from men and women. One of the more feminine fragrances I have worn as a man, but very unisex.

Smells really fresh but also like a nice clean men after shaving, not the strong aftershave more like a nice and elegant aftershave. It doesn't smell like a man that much but definitely more a bit masculine fragrance. I really like the smell but on my boyfriend, not on me ! I doesn't smell like rain nor after the rain at all tho ! I only smell the nice aftershave and not the rose or the rain notes. I guess it is the pines or the base notes that gives this impression. Don't get me wrong I really do like the smell, I just gifted it to my boyfriend and he loves it ! and I really like smelling it on him

Whenever I’m unsure of what to wear, I always find myself coming back to this one. It features an aquatic note with a slightly dark undertone, accented by a touch of green. It’s a wonderful fragrance with a dual nature—refreshing yet possessing a certain shadowy quality. Its true appeal shines when applied to the skin, evoking the atmosphere of grass after the rain and a sense of humid air. The longevity and projection are just right; a single spray on three different points is plenty. I reapply it after about four or five hours.

Probably my favourite out of the Replica scents, a really gorgeous soapy white floral with a hint of ozonic notes. I really love this for everyday wear and would always go to the Space NK near my partner’s to spray myself with some so I’m really glad my aunt gifted me a lil 30ml of this (along with Fleur de Peau #flex), which was only around £60 so I’d say its worth it at that price point, but I dont know if I could convince myself to buy a full 100ml of this (not the fragrance’s fault, more Maison Martin Margiela’s)
