  • About The Fragrance

    Electric crackle, downpour, panic grass, sizzling asphalt steam. Respite on muggy summer days.

    "The scent after it rains is a favorite aromatic genre of mine—and many people as it turns out. Perfumers have a few tools to use in the category of ozone--or things that smell like water and air.

    Geosmin is the scent molecule released from bacteria in dirt after it rains. What's lovely, is that the Geosmin blends with different aromatics in different environments. Whereas in the forest it smells dank yet fresh, in the city you get the scent of hot asphalt and concrete quickly cooled by rain.

    It is as if the whole city is boiling, overlapping in scent.

    And when rain and thunder come, all is released into the air in an instant. It smells fresh, unique and only of summer in the city. Concrete After Lightning is simple–you have the air, rain, steam and some of the weeds that grow in the cracks of New York City."

Good but not perfect

I was really hoping that this would give THE scent. The moment of getting rain after a dry spell. It’s vaguely there but… not really! It does smell aquatic and has crisp notes so it isn’t bad at all just not what I was desperately hoping for! Gorgeous design though and still does smell good!

Perfect scent

I love the heavy ozonic scent that perfectly evokes city storms. The scent nicely disperses around the room and burns nicely and lasts a good while. What I really appreciate that there is no black soot around the jar as well. I had repurchased the candle twice now as we love it that much and I was glad to learn that perfume version had been released not long ago.

Class in a jar

DS and Durga is a hip brand from Brooklyn, NYC. This is a very unique smell, like many of their scents are. It starts off with a creamy scent and then gives off a scent of hot pavements which have had water splashed on them! It's a special candle and a special scent. I love the illustrations and the peach coloured glass jars the wax is housed in.

I have a LOT of scented candles, and this is one of my standout fragrances. Such an unusual but moreish scent. Love the title, really evocative of this candle. The DS

Unique

I don’t know how to describe this fragrance. But it’s gorgeous. Unusual and fresh. Floral but not sweet or cloying. It’s edgy and urban but not dirty. Just got that energy of lightning with the relax of lavender. Fresher than your usual lavender. Nothing standard about this. Great throw and a lovely clean burn.
