Metal Rain

Metal Rain by Banana Republic offers a clean, crisp, and airy scent reminiscent of Silver Mountain Water, but with a more refined, slightly woody and ozonic character. It opens with a sharp lemon and black currant burst, followed by a delicate lavender and green tea accord, creating a fresh, slightly sweet, and melon-like aura. The dry down features smooth cashmeran, musk, and sandalwood, giving it a subtle, powdery softness. The scent is unisex, leaning slightly masculine due to its clean, aquatic-leaning profile, and performs best during daytime wear. It appeals to those who enjoy layered, nonaggressive scents with a modern, minimalist aesthetic — especially fans of Creed SMW, Millesime Imperial, or Creed Aventus. Despite its appealing top and mid notes, longevity is short — most users report only moderate 3 to 4-hour wear, especially on skin, with minimal projection beyond an hour. Sillage remains moderate but fades quickly, which may disappoint those seeking a more noticeable presence. However, the fragrance is widely praised for its affordability and consistent, pleasant performance when purchased at retail. Many consider it a smart, accessible, everyday choice that feels more elevated than typical mass-market scents.
