At first, this smelt promising before the associations with Dior’s Addict sprang to mind (along with Angel, Scent Intense, etc.). For such an expensive (and exclusive) fragrance, you’d expect a lot more originality than that. The bottle’s the only great thing about this scent and not even that’s worth the high price tag.

Dior’s Addict may smell somewhat synthetic, in comparison, but at least it’s better value for money.

I don't get the name in conjunction with what Silver Rain actually smells like. It isn't evocative of anything fresh or sparkling. The fruit and the anise fight with each other, and the flowers linger, barely perceptible, in the background. I can see the anise and patchouli plausibly working (the transition from one to the other was the most seamless in this composition), but patch is a difficult note for me to begin with, and in the context of the rest of the perfume, it is dischordant. It all feels like a mishmash of notes, not in harmony with each other...at least, not on my skin.

Not what I would expect from abottle that looks like a silver rain drop. Flowers, fruit compote and cookies. The anise is potent enough to make me think of other fragrances that exploited it first, so I struggle to justify the cost. Super cool bottle.
Bottom line: nice teen scent with a big price tag. Who wears this?

This one deserves acknowledgement for creativity - including the packaging. I was excited to try Silver Rain after reading the fragrance notes. I LOVE anise, as well as several of the other notes listed. Well, I was a little let down. The opening was "camphorous", a bit harsh. The floral middle reminded me of Ford's Black Orchid. As the drydown progressed I ended up with an ozonic sort of powder that sort of made me want to cough. After saying all this, I have to tell you it actually didn't smell bad...it's just not for me.

Yummy! I was given a small tester to try about 2 months ago and completely forgot I had it until today. Wearing it now, I love it, it's very sweet on me and has a warm dry down, very modern and exudes luxury. I have an overwhelming desire to buy a big bottle of it!
