Terra Nova

Very green and sharp – I love soapy fragrances (Glow by JLO is a favorite) but Rain was very chemical smelling to me. Its described as green, floral, sweet, soapy and musky. I bought the perfume essence rollerball and it was very strong. I had to wash it off after an hour. There was no sweetness at all in this one to me. On my skin this is a strong musky green lily of the valley with harsh edges. This also pulled quite manly on my skin.

This scent is very long-lasting. I put a drop or two on after a bath one evening, and I could still smell it the next day, all day. It would be a great choice for someone young just starting to try perfumes. It's a very springtime-like scent. I like it well enough to wear it occasionally until it's gone, but I probably will not purchase it again because it just feels a bit too much, too loud. However, I will try another Terra Nova product in the future since this is a great quality for the price.

Ugh, I am really disappointed with this. It smells like toxic chemicals; not the creamy beautiful fragrance of Jasmine that I was expecting. Maybe I got a bad batch, because I am really surprised by all the rave reviews of this. I thought perhaps it was too strong, so I also tried putting it behind my knees so that I can get a softer waft of it. Nope, it still smelled vile.
