Parfum #5

A rainy day...and you are wrapped in contemplation, soothed by the sound of water falling upon all the growing things around you...the scent of the freshly-washed world, so peaceful in this moment in time. You can capture this mood anytime with our unisex misty rain-soaked scent. Himalayan musk and a (rain) barrel of aquatic accords featuring overtones of African wild mint, ozone and citrus, then given further freshness with the addition of Hedione, a jasmine derivative which has been discovered to evoke a pheromone-like response, especially in women when worn by men. It gives off a lovely fresh airy floral note which is often added to fragrances for both sexes.

 

I have un petit jardin in Paris, and on those days when it rains I love to open my windows and breathe in the scent, it makes me feel so alive somehow. To sit with a cup of tea and listen to that soothing sound...I believe many of us enjoy this feeling, non? Then I may go out in the rain and pick some flowers, some herbs, wrap them in muslin...so please enjoy this scent of a rainy day in my garden, from me to you.
