When the Rain Stops by Maison Margiela is a soothing, fresh Aromatic Aquatic fragrance launched in 2021, composed by perfumer Fanny Bal. This unisex scent evokes the tranquil moment after a rainfall—when nature glistens, the air is clear, and the earth exhales its dewy breath.
Opening with vibrant green notes, bergamot, and a touch of pink pepper, the fragrance captures the crisp clarity of the sky clearing. The heart flows with watery accords, rain notes, and delicate touches of Turkish rose and jasmine, painting a soft, floral interpretation of nature reborn. The base reveals earthy moss, pine, and patchouli, grounding the scent in a peaceful, forest-like finish.
A fresh and emotional olfactory memory — reminiscent of renewal, peace, and light filtering through rain-kissed leaves.
