Maison Martin Margiela Replica When the Rain Stops EDT

Description

When the Rain Stops captures the exact minute the sky clears after a downpour: wet pavement, rinsed leaves, and the first warm sunlight breaking through. Perfumer Fanny Bal built this REPLICA scent around that specific, fleeting freshness: aquatic notes and pink pepper on top, a luminous rose heart, and a grounding patchouli-and-moss base.

FAQ

Is it men's or women's?
When the Rain Stops is marketed as a women's fragrance, though its green-aquatic profile reads gender-neutral on skin.

What's the longevity like?
Moderate, around 4–6 hours, and it wears very close to the skin by design.

What does it smell like exactly?
Fresh and green with an aquatic edge: think rinsed leaves and rose petals right after a storm, not a sweet or heavy floral.
