When I was in high school I wandered into the kind of little quirky shop that only exists in beach towns or Santa Fe these days but used to exist in strip malls in Northern Virginia. They had this brand of perfume in these tiny little understated bottles and the scents were all these wildly banal things. It was Demeter Fragrances and I am still to this day a collector of their uncanny scents.
The one that I purchased was something like $25, which was a lot to a teenager without a job, but it was called Rain and I could NOT believe how insanely accurate it was. I walked around school the next day just constantly sniffing my sleeve and my wrist where I had sprayed it, each time getting completely overwhelmed by the sense memory of walking home in the rain in the springtime.
Here we are, decades later, and one of my vendors (thank you CandleScience) has created an absolutely beautiful version of that scent - the feeling in the air just as its about to rain. We've mixed with with a little bit of foliage, and present it to you as our February 2023 candle. Enjoy!
