Renier Perfumes Black Rain is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Daniel Josier. Black Rain opens with Rose and Chamomile, settles into a heart of Leather, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Orange Blossom, Patchouli, and Ambergris. Renier Perfumes's Black Rain carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent that you'll either love for its complex, animalic leather and dark florals, or find completely overpowering and 'pungent'. Definitely try before you buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it adaptable, but the strong, animalic leather leans it away from casual daytime wear. It performs best in cooler weather and at night, making it excellent for dates and formal events where its depth can shine.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Black Rain opens with a surprising, potent blast of dark, animalic leather, quickly joined by powdery violet and a subtle rose, softened by a hint of chamomile. As it dries, the leather mellows into a plush, almost suede-like texture, interwoven with a salty, earthy ambergris and a clean musk, with patchouli adding a grounding depth.
