The formula's story
First Rain opens with the shock of wet stone: galbanum for the green crack of it, bergamot for the light that gets trapped in rainclouds, fig leaf for the shade the downpour falls through. The heart settles on iris root and a wet-earth accord built from patchouli fractions, the smell of soil drinking. In the base, Haitian vetiver and a whisper of oakmoss hold the moment open for hours.
Shown on this page is a fictional product from a fictional house; it cannot be ordered anywhere, which is the only truthful thing about it that is not also fictional.
