Forest Rain Fragrance Reviews

Definitely a very unique fragrance. Forest Rain's central note is a fizzy, soapy violet leaf note. When I say "fizzy", I mean "fizzy" like soda. I believe it's the patchouli that cuts the violet like that to give it that effect. Those two notes are surrounded by a green soapiness that defines the scent. It's a little musky, too. The longevity is spectacular - I easily get 10 hours or more out of Forest Rain.

Forest Rain is one of the most unique fragrances I've smelled, and it's definitely worth trying. I really don't wear it anymore, though. It doesn't satisfy me as much as it used to. When it comes to Kiehl's, I prefer their Musk or the Pour Homme Essence Oil. Still, give Forest Rain a shot - it's a really unique scent that needs to be smelled to be understood.

This has been discontinued, which is the worst news for me as this is my signature fragrance. It's a unisex fragrance that genuinely works on both men and women, and is unlike anything ive ever worn before, which is why its my signature fragrance. I am devastated Kiehl's have discontinued this!

I would love to smell this on a man with the appropriate body chemistry. This just smells too masculine on me. There is a weird, pungent note in it that is almost reminiscent of urine, but not quite--I don't know if that's the musk or the vetiver. The "urine" calmed down within a couple of hours, but didn't completely disappear.

It didn't smell like Love's Rain Scent to me. Maybe Love's Rain Scent Pour Homme.

I bought a decent size decant of this, and at first spray it was everything I had hoped for, but alas, it totally disappeared in about 15 minutes. The top notes were woody, wet and mossy, yet as if shafts of sunlight were penetrating a wet forest. I would have loved some staying power in this.

Spices, musk and vanilla are prominent in this composition. I think the name doesn't suit the perfume. I would think of forest rain as something understated, refreshing with lots of green notes. However, this smells to me mostly of vanilla and cinnamon. This fragrance also has some orris notes even though they are not listed. I think this is a very sexy scent IMO. It is quiet sophisticated and refined. I also detect some similarities to Chanel No. 5. This shape bottle doesn't do justice to this fragrance as it is complex and alluring. It's worth a try!

Tried this out several times in the flagship store in NYC. So breathtaking and familiar at once! Fresh, clean, and green with pretty-pretty soft florals. Plants, herbs, and flowers after a morning rain fall. Lovely. Look forward to purchasing it for my spring fragrance wardrobe.

Forest Rain? Green? Floral? Woodsy? I don't get it. The only thing this smells like on me is 100% pure almond. I've been wearing this for 2 hours and it never developed into anything else. It smells like Dior Hypnotic Poison.

Unfortunately, this one doesn't work on me. I love vetiver, so it was a shock to find a vetiver scent that I can't wear. It's possible that it's too heavy on the musk - but I always feel that it starts out green and kind of... rots on the skin. It doesn't stay fresh on me at all. Too bad.

It was the name that urged me to buy a sample of Forest Rain. It sounded so lush and green that I couldn't possibly resist the temptation. Forest Rain turned out to be all that I expected and more.

The moment I applied Forest Rain to my wrist, I exclaimed with deep satisfication, "yum!" To my nose it's a combination of musky greeness, a dew-like sweetness and an elaborate bouquet of big, white lillies.

I feel very feminine and pretty while wearing this, however it has an interesting warmth once settled, that makes me feel very in touch with the earth, somewhat like a hippy. It exudes this strange bohemian aura, and while I'm not very bohemian myself, it awakens the creativeness in me.

The scent tends to envelope you, it becomes you. I can't imagine this fragrance offending anyone. From a distance Forest Rain smells clean and soapy. This fragrance actually reminds me of Spring.

The sillage and lasting strength are amazing. I was so enraptured by this fragrance that I added it to my wishlist in a matter of seconds, without even waiting for the development.

Although I recommend this fragrance for Spring and Summer, I'm currently wearing Forest Rain on a cold and rainy Winter's day and it wears considerably well in such weather.

This is a less known Kiehl's scent, other than their Musk, that deserves some attention. It's very original, weird somehow, but usually Kiehl's scents behave in different ways on different skin chemistries. On my skin it smells mostly of Lily-of-the-Valley. Actually a lot of Lily-of-the-valley, fresh floral and intoxicating. I don't get the citruses, instead I smell strong aquatic green notes and the drydown is almost all woody vetiver.
It's very good to smell when you need an escape to the woods fragrance! Open air when you are trapped in an office.
It stays quite sharp and green all the time. I can't say if it's feminine or masculin or maybe both, a perfect unisex. More complex than Kiehl's Original Musk. It's not really my kind of fragrance but I think it's worthy a try, just to smell the way it smells on you. You could be surprised.

I have never smelled the original Kiehl's Musk, and I'm not a huge fan of pure musk scents. However, Kiehl's Forest Rain's musk is nicely tempered by the fruit and flowers. I don't see cucumber listed as a note, but the overall effect of those fruits and flowers is a lush, green cucumber accord. Or perhaps dewy green foliage? "Forest Rain" is a very appropriate title for this scent.

I'm not sensing the vetiver in here. Usually, vetiver has a dry, grassy aroma and this fragrance is the exact opposite: very moist and steamy. Perhaps its effect is tampering down the sweetness of the Lily of the Valley.

The musk note is detectible right away, but it's not unpleasant. It smells familiar and is an olfactory reminder of how many clean scents and soaps, body washes, etc. contain musk as an ingredient. The musk becomes more prominent as the scent dries down, as one would expect. It's a very animalic, "sweaty" kind of musk. Some will find it appealing, and some won't.

The staying power is excellent.

Forest Rain is definitely unisex, and my husband and I have both tried it. The fragrance smells unique on each of us. The florals are not especially pronounced, and men should feel comfortable wearing it. Overall, it's a pleasant fragrance that fans of musky scents like J. Lo's perfumes, Jovan Musk or those "head shop" musk oils will probably enjoy.
