Which Should You Buy?
This one is a crowd-pleaser, delivering a fresh, clean, and effortlessly luxurious vibe. It's a scent that manages to be both uplifting and serene, though those hunting for a prominent tea note might be left wanting.
Tea Rainfall mirrors Louis Vuitton's Rain Tea, part of the Journey to China collection - lemongrass and citrus opening into a green tea and magnolia heart. Like the original, the tea note reads more floral than a true green-tea accord, and this version fades faster than LV's already-modest performance.
