Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Man Rain Essence EDP
This one's a divisive freshie with a misleading name. Don't expect petrichor, but if you like musky tea and oranges, and don't mind reapplying often, Rain Essence might be your jam. Just be prepared for its fleeting nature and a steep retail price.

Our Verdict - New Blue EDP
A reliable, if a bit safe, aquatic scent for those who like to keep things understated. It's a fresh, crowd-pleasing option for everyday wear, but don't expect it to scream for attention.

Season and Occasion Fit

Man Rain Essence

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Given its weak projection and light accords, Rain Essence is perfect for office wear or casual outings where discretion is key. Its freshness makes it suitable for sport, but it lacks the depth for formal events or the intensity for a romantic date.

New Blue

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, aquatic character and perceived light projection make it ideal for casual and sport settings, as well as an unobtrusive office scent. It lacks the punch for formal events or a memorable date night.
