When the Rain Stops לעומת Black Orchid

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.

The r/fragrance community has polarized opinions on Black Orchid, with many praising its unique dark, artistic character and exceptional longevity, while others find the heavy patchouli and earthy base off-putting. Most wearers report getting compliments when wearing it in the right context, though it requires careful application due to its extreme strength and works best as an occasional evening fragrance rather than daily wear.
