When the Rain Stops by Maison Martin Margiela is a Unisex Aromatic Aquatic fragrance launched in 2021. The nose behind this fragrance is Fanny Bal. When the Rain Stops evokes the joyful feeling of seeing the sun return after the rain. The sky returns to a state of calm, raindrops become less frequent and gradually stop as the clouds slowly disappear and give way to shy rays of sun that illuminate the wet surroundings.
Top notes are Bergamot, Pink Pepper and Vegetal Accord; middle notes are Aquatic Accord of Rain Notes & Watery Notes, Isparta Turkish Rose and Jasmine grandiflorium; base notes are Patchouli, Moss and Pine Tree.
The aquatic accord signals the last remaining raindrops evaporating from the tips of the pine needle trees into the fresh air. Luminous Isparta rose and vibrant pink pepper notes blend blissfully and provide the heart to this perfume. The combination of the earthy scent of the Patchouli essence associated with the aquatic accord is the signature of the fragrance as it recreates the sensation of wet nature. The Patchouli essence is a luxurious ingredient that is sustainably sourced in Bali, in accordance with the highest environmental and ethical standards. Its production helps local populations and offers the best quality ingredient. The Isparta Rose Petal essence is also sustainably and ethically sourced. It offers sweet notes of fresh rose that illuminate the fragrance. Combined with the vibrant pink pepper, it evokes the positive energy brought by the return of the sun. With this fragrance, the perfumer, Fanny Bal, has recreated the scent of fresh rain and sun rays, conveying serenity and the affirming message that the sun always returns after the rain: like the promise of a better tomorrow.
REVIEWS
Fragrantica - In the opening I get the "when the rain stops" vibe but it dries down to a more masculine scent. However, I'm obsessed with the scent. It's sexy, sophisticated, and maybe basic but I don't care. If I get a boyfriend, I'm buying this for him
Sephora - I fell in love with it right away. Its so fresh and smooth. It definitely smells like the moment after the rain stops. In my own description it feels like sweet water that you can't get enough of driving it. In a way I feel like my soul is calm and restored.
Sephora - Wow just wow... I've been in a slump and it's hard to feel better sometimes, but the moment I smelt this fragrance i couldn't stop smelling it!
