Rain Tea

Soooo Goood!

For me this smells like honey sweetened chamomile tea. While there are many honey scents that I do not care for, I like it here. In high temps, the honey becomes more prominent. By the time it is in the 90‘s it gets to be a bit much for me. Otherwise it is now on my regular rotation.

Soft Fruity Tea and Honey

I was honestly shocked to see this perfume only had one star reviews. I definitely wouldn’t call it cloying either as someone who hates overly sweet scents (they give me a headache) but everyone is different and I firmly believe there are different categories of sweet. While the honey is the most lingering note, there is a very green and fresh smell from the tea and chamomile and a tartness from the fruity notes that gets mellowed out by the soft florals. I’m of the high opinion that barley and honey accentuate each other beautifully as both flavor and scent profiles so I’m not at all surprised I like this perfume. I’m also very partial to perfumes with top notes of chamomile. This perfume definitely gives rainy tea party, perhaps with a cozy book on hand. For anyone who wants to smell like they belong in a ghibli film.

Horrid!

I really wanted to like this—the name alone had me giddy! Unfortunately, this was a huge letdown! Here’s the thing: using words like “soothing” “calming” “soft” led me to believe the scent would be, well, soft, soothing, and calming and this was the opposite of those. The scent was way stronger than I expected. When I sniffed it from the bottle and sprayed it on my skin, it was so cloying! I couldn’t go more than an hour (I thought it might grow on me), before I gave up & trashed it. It was that bad! But everyone’s different so if you decide to give it a whirl, try getting the smallest sample available.
