Clean Rain is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Rain opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Clean's Rain carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Prepare for division: Clean Reserve Rain is a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. While some find its photorealistic wet earth and fresh botanicals divine, others are repulsed by what they perceive as sharp, synthetic patchouli or even an overtly masculine cheap cologne. Test on skin for this one - paper strips lie.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its clean, fresh profile makes it suitable for casual wear or the gym, and it avoids being overly strong so it works for the office. However, its divisive nature and often noted masculine lean mean it's less ideal for dates or formal events where broad appeal is key.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rain opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, quickly softening into a heart of dewy white florals that evoke a garden after a downpour. The true star, or villain depending on your nose, is the earthy patchouli in the base, which melds with fresh green notes to create an aquatic, damp soil impression. It's a scent aiming for petrichor - the smell of rain on dry earth - with a clean, slightly sweet edge.
