Which Should You Buy?
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your average drizzle. La Pluie is a creamy, tropical floral that’s far more about sun-drenched fields and humid gardens than cold, grey skies. A polarizing name, but a surprisingly sophisticated and highly complimented scent.
This discontinued gem is probably the most missed men's release ever, with vanilla and orange blossom creating a unique 'frozen' feeling. It's polarising, but its fans are borderline obsessive and united in their plea for Dior to bring it back. Seriously, people are petitioning.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and persistent, yet not overpowering, floral character make it perfectly suited for office wear, as many reviewers attest. The warm, inviting qualities also lend themselves well to casual and date settings, though it might be a bit too relaxed for very formal events.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive, clean character make it versatile for most casual and office settings, though some find it a bit too sweet for formal events. The fresh qualities of orange blossom and its 'cool' feel also loan it to warmer weather, making it a good choice for casual daytime wear.
