The earthy petrichor in this is so strong, but there's so much freshness and watery nature to this fragrance can't help but feel it's a photorealistic rain fragrance except it's a bit fruity in the opening from melon or apple

Smells like a garden just after a rain. If you're a fan of green fragrances or more earthy scents, this is an easily wearable fragrance for any gender.

Like zesting a lemon from the garden, in a cabin in the woods, during summer. A little "all natural" cleaning producty, especially in the beginning. But I agree with others that it dries down into a more cedar comforting vibe.

It’s soooo unique. I love this scent. Very photorealistic snow and ice effect. This is what I would imagine the ice queen from Narnia to wear. I don’t get any coconut btw. Definitely one of the few perfumes that can be a year round, day and night sce...

I immediately got grave flowers from this. Contemplative, melancholy and gothic, quickly developing into a beautiful petrichor. Brings to mind a rainy graveyard, laying next to the gravestone of a departed loved one.

I got an opening poof of cherry, then a fresh bitter green, like watercress or parsley, took over. This gave way to a loamy earthiness with a little spice, then it finally dried back down to a mellow plum/cherry. A real shapeshifter with a soft outro...

To me it’s true thunderstorm-in-bottle. Petrichor, ozonic, heavily soaked grass, rain-disturbed dirt. Evokes imagery of an intense summer thunderstorm, absolutely.

Smells like warm water and being wrapped in a fresh towel. Sunny, warm, slightly aquatic, fluffy. So interesting!

This smells like a flower garden in a thunderstorm - florals, heavy rain, swirling wind, and wet dirt. This is VERY different from what I usually go for, but it's weirdly growing on me... dirt and all.

Smells like dirt! Good for layering. Reminds me of a wet forest.

It smells like a walk in the forest right after it rained. It may be my imagination, but I do smell a little bit of smoke in this frag, it isn’t overpowering or anything but it’s definitely there.

Smells exactly like the Home Depot garden section - damp earth, with that slight metallic note found in potting soil. I love it. It brings up memories of walking among potted plants and gardening supplies; when I wore it, I kept smelling my wrist and...

The three main (Aldehydic, iris, patchouli) notes don't come off the skin very strongly, and instead they combine to form a kind of earthy smell. Smells like the earth of of a field that is growing iris and patchouli.

Wet grass turned up by horse hooves. A polo field. Combine with Rotano for the full effect, i.e an active mid-morning polo match complete with horses running around. I've done that combo wear. I have a full bottle of Rotano, with Macanudo on my to-bu...

Ok this is really good. What I was wanting from a grass fragrance- bright green, freshly mowed grass but also kind of soapy and fresh. Oof. I love vetiver so much and this isn't overhwelmed by it, but a companion of differing grass to create a grass ...
