A different perfume fr
om the fruity summer scents, this perfume captures a separate feeling of summer. Summer rain has a very distinct scent that you can now wear on your wrist and neck in an apothecary-style bottle.

The luxe bottle carries a cotton label with black ink text and a unique pump wrapped with rope as a homage to the original couture line. The fresh eau de toilette within is echoed by the Polaroid photograph printed on the outside carton. Like memories of a spring afternoon, when the sky calms, raindrops roll off the windows, and the smell of wet earth radiates through the air, this fragrance inspires a fresh start and new beginnings.
