Essence 2012 EDT
Like a Walk in the Summer Rain
Essence Like a Walk in the Summer Rain is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Like a Walk in the Summer Rain opens with Cyclamen, Lemon, Orange, and Watermelon, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Floral Notes, Lily of the Valley, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Oakmoss. Essence's Like a Walk in the Summer Rain carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.
This one's a divisive aquatic, with some loving its fresh, rainy vibe and others finding it sharp, cheap, or headache-inducing. Definitely try before you buy, but for its fans, it's a summer steal.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its moderate performance and inherently fresh, clean profile make it suitable for casual wear and sports, as many reviewers noted its refreshing 'out of the shower' quality. It's too light for formal events and not impactful enough for dates, but could work in a relaxed office setting due to its non-offensive nature.
