Dedicated to Love After Rain

"Sequence After the Rain." *A Country Where People Do Nothing but Dance*: Mitsufumi Shimozu and Dorse K.M.

Scents can sometimes bring back forgotten memories or emotions that defy words. With its new fragrance, “Love After Rain K.M.,” the French fragrance house D’ORSAY—founded in 1830—captures the hint of romance lingering in the aftermath of rain. Imagine wearing this fragrance—which exudes a sense of tranquility and warmth, like faint sunlight breaking through a muted sky—alongside Mitsufumi Shimozu of “The Country Where We Only Dance.”

〈Dorsay〉Love After Rain. K.M. 90 mL ¥36,300(Dorsay)
Dorsay’s new fragrance, “Love After Rain K.M.,” captures the serene scene after the rain. A contemporary neo-chypre fragrance crafted with two types of iris: sharp, aldehyde-like iris and creamy iris butter. The transparency of pear, lily of the valley, and ambrette is layered with the warmth of moss and tonka bean, leaving a quiet, lingering afterglow of the rain-soaked air.

Following the Rain's Trail.

“The heavy rain had just stopped, and in that very moment—”

A cluster of dark clouds swept away by the wind

The fresh green shoots, damp and dancing about

Silky rays of sunlight peeking through the gaps

That scent suddenly brings tears to our eyes.

”The Precious Scent of the Sun That the Rain Taught Me"

A Country Where People Do Nothing but Dance — Mitsufumi Shimozu
