Solstice Scents During the Rain is an Extrait de Parfum, created by Angela St.John. Solstice Scents's During the Rain carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is either pure artistry or pure horror, depending on your nose. Expect photorealistic wet soil, damp concrete, and petrichor, with some finding it a soul-soothing, earthy dream and others a musty, mouldy nightmare.

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:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual

Given its intimate sillage, it won't offend in an office, but the 'wet dirt' profile is better suited for casual wear or as an artistic statement. It's too unconventional for formal events and not fresh enough for sport.

About

During the Rain is a hyper-realistic atmospheric scent that captures the essence of a downpour hitting parched earth. It opens with intense, earthy soil tincture and damp clay, quickly joined by the mineralic tang of wet pebbles and concrete. As it dries, the scent settles into a deeply earthy and slightly cold petrichor, evoking the aftermath of a storm, complete with a hint of something verdant and possibly even a touch of industrial dampness.
