Black Rain Renier
by Renier Perfumes
Black Rain Renier presents a rich, complex profile centered on animalic leather, ambergris, and violet, layered with rose and chamomile. It opens with a bold, pungent core of leather and patchouli, which evolves into a softer, powdery floral-sweet composition. The fragrance feels unisex and deeply sensual, with moderate sillage and longevity that leans toward the middle range. It carries an earthy, slightly sultry depth, with an ambergris note that is rich and slightly musky rather than airy or synthetic. The violet note is prominent and recognizable, contributing a subtle candied sweetness, while the rose and chamomile offer a soft, herbal counterpoint. On skin, the scent develops fluidly, transitioning from intense opening to a clean, ethereal drydown with violet and musky ambergris. The initial impact is strong and memorable, though some find it forgettable or slightly overwhelming.
