Commodity Fragrances – Rain EDP
I ordered a sample of Commodity Rain (“Rain”) during a
period of weather here where the rain seemed to be non-stop. I was curious as to how close this floral
aquatic could actually get to telling the story of “a walk in the rain, cleansing, refreshing, as
escape to a clean slate in life”. It
should be noted that Rain was a part of the brand’s White Collection which is
comprised of scents that are lighter and intended to be worn alone or layered.
Rain does, in fact, tell a straightforward story with its
notes. It’s clean, fresh, floral, green,
and aquatic. There is a lightness to the
green, moist, opening as it’s layered with a fresh lushness of the
florals. After an initial burst that’s
fairly citric and lemony, the Springtime florals appear with a blossoming
greenness. On my skin, the jasmine and
lotus blossom are the most prominent of the floral notes although the bergamot
and freesia are detectable. The light
musk is present in both the opening and middle of the fragrance wear but it isn’t
until the drydown that I get the white amber and sheer woods.
Rain succeeds at creating the experience of a lovely walk
just after a Spring rain. It captures
the wetness and florals that rise into the air.
Rain wears for roughly 6 – 7 hours with a light projection on me.
Notes:
Top – dewy green accord, bergamot, lemon verbena
Middle – jasmine, freesia, lotus blossom
Base – white amber, water musk, sheer woods
