Like most people, I absolutely love a good downpour, but more than that, it is the smell afterwards. Known as Petrichor, that smell is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil and it is one of the best smells there is. Why am I talking about the weather again? Well Arran have the most amazing After The Rain Collection, from which I was kindly gifted a few pieces and I can't even tell you how fabulous it is!
The description which comes with this collection is one which caught my attention and if you are familiar with the brand, you will be aware as to how amazing they are.
Capturing the scent of a summer garden on the Isle of Arran following a rain shower, immerse yourself in the sophisticated fragrance of Arran Aromatics’ After The Rain collection.
So, within the collection I was kindly sent over, I have the home fragrance collection of the Reed Diffuser and the Room Spray. Both products, as you can see, come expertly packaged and if you know of someone who loves a gift which has that luxurious feeling, then consider this an option because both products are wonderfully and very safely packaged.
I was really keen to try the Room Spray, they are products that I use, usually after I have cleaned and scrubbed the surfaces and hoovered, there is something about a mixture of cleaning products hanging in the air which irritates me, so I always try to mask the smell.
The Room Spray comes packaged in a see-through glass bottle, which I really like because I can see how much I have used. It opens with the scent notes of blend of rose petals, musk and floral citrus combined with precious wood and what this does give, is exactly as the description reads above. It is warm, it is inviting and the scent lingers in the air for quite some time after it has been spritzed. The Room Spray is priced at £18.
The Reed Diffuser, which sits on my shelf is the first thing that you can smell as the door opens, the mixture of rose, sandalwood and lime permeate the air and its so lovely and refreshing and it is strong enough that you notice it, but not overpowering that it is over-dominating.
The Reed diffuser itself comes packaged in a clear see-through glass bottle, similar to the Room Spray above, and it is accompanied by neutral coloured reed sticks. It is priced at just £30 and I have been using mine for almost 9 weeks now and that opening fragrance is just as welcoming now, as it is during those first few hours of being opened and put in place.
Alongside these two products, the After the Rain collection also boasts a candle within the homeware section, so you can layer your products to really get the best out of the fragrance at home. If you love the scent as much as I do, you can also take a look into the collection of bath and shower products or the Eau de Toilette, the hand and body lotions and more besides.
