China Rain

What's In The Bottle?

· Pure Oil One Ounce, Half Ounce, Quarter Ounce & 14-day Sample Sizes

Let us introduce you to your fragrance the way it was meant to be - Pure perfume without alcohol or other useless & toxic fillers. Discover what the designer had in mind - smooth, long-lasting, rich, balanced and full of luscious aroma. Never offensive or overpowering, long lasting and balanced. They occupy only your own private space and leave a gentle trail only where you choose.

Just like jewels, pure fragrance oils vary tremendously in quality. We have put an enormous amount of effort into selecting the best possible quality pure fragrance oils of every type and the thousands of positive store and fragrance reviews are proof. We've been changing the way people think about fragrance since 1996 with many happy & beautiful smelling customers to prove it.

Day after day, customers tell us our versions smell better than the originals. Perhaps the lack of alcohol and, in many cases, higher quality oils than those found in the "original" makes the difference. Ounce for ounce, our perfume bottles contain fifteen to twenty times as much pure perfume oil as the typical Eau de Toilette, but choosing pure fragrance oils is not so much a question of saving money, as it is of getting your money's worth.

Usage:
A drop or two at most should be all you need. Unlike conventional perfumes, our oils are alcohol and filler free, so it may take a minute or two for the slowly warming scent to emit its full bouquet. The fragrance will be smoother and better balanced than any alcohol-driven aroma and well worth the wait.

Our fragrance oils last most people six to twenty-four hours, depending upon skin type, evaporating naturally during the course of the day. Our pure perfume oils also last longer in the bottle - commercial perfumes with fillers spoil, sometimes in as little as twelve months, but pure perfume oils retain their fragrance year after year.

NOT A BAD 2ND AFTER BODYTIME
I've been wearing china rain for 36 years, well a few years after I started wearing it from The Body Shop (at that time, a small shop in SF, CA, they later sold their name and became BodyTime, with several shops throughout the SF Bay Area). Maybe 10 yrs later, China Rain became very popular, everyone seemed to be wearing it. I changed over to China Lily, CR's lighter cousin. I cannot get myself to wear any other scent. Unfortunately, BodyTime closed a few yrs ago. I have tried a few other places with subpar results. Although China Lily was not even close to BodyTime, Fragrance Shop's China Rain is the closest I've found to the 5 star original. It smells almost exactly like it. however, I don't think it lasts as long as the original. I used get told I smelled as if I had just put it on at about 7 pm at night after a long day of nursing in a busy county hospital in Oakland. I miss BodyTime so much, it took a while to get over that loss. I'm sure there are some ppl out there who understand. Thank you Fragrance Shop for the closest China Rain I've found so far.

Exotic, Bohemian...Mysterious
Ever been to a Renaissance Festival? As a medium, this is exactly what I enjoy smelling like. It has a sweetness and mystery about it. It takes to the wind and people notice its beauty. I have gotten so many compliments. Thank you!

TOO LIGHT
I put it on and cannot smell it. It is too light for me and I like more character to the oils I wear.

A bit Musky
I do not intend for this review to be negative, just opinionated. I was referred to this scent by one of the sales associates as I do like floral scents. I ordered the sample & when I received it, tried it on, I had to wash it off. It was entirely to musky for me. It seemed like the musk overpowered the other notes. Just letting you know that if you do like musk, then you will probably love this scent, it just wasn't for me.

Exquisitely unique
I adore this perfume, because it reminds me of being in college - very Bohemian! It has a very unique, sandalwood patchouli kind of vibe to it - but it's not overpowering or trying too hard. Whenever I wear it, people ask me what it is. This is a perfume for either summer or winter. Try it - it's really lovely!
