The r/fragrance community shows cautious interest in "When the Rain Stops" but with reservations about whether it lives up to its rain-inspired concept. While some users are excited about the fragrance and brand prestige, multiple commenters note it smells more musky and plant-like than true petrichor, making sampling recommended over blind buying. Supply issues on Sephora further complicated early availability.

Mojave Ghost is widely appreciated for its clean, bright, and ethereal scent profile, making it a favorite summer fragrance. However, the community is divided over longevity—the original EDP's weak skin performance frustrates many, though the newer Absolu version resolves this at the cost of losing some of the original's delicate character. Longevity varies significantly based on application method and individual nose blindness.
