Allergens & Other Callouts
Contains natural extracts of neroli, petitgrain citronnier, petitgrain mandarin, petitgrain bergamotier, jasmine sambac, vetiver, patchouli, amyris, myrrh, nutmeg, boxtree, benzoin, choya nakh co-distilled with santalum album, hiba cedarwood, ylang ylang, mimosa, pinyon pine, sagebrush, sage sco2, and mitti attar.

Sagebrush gives this scent the texture of sun dried hay and grass, while the pinon brings in the warmth of weathered wood. Dehydrated orange peel and blossoms weave a little sweetness through it all. Everything has that sun baked quality of vegetation preserved beneath relentless heat.
As it dries down, the landscape shifts from desert to beach. I am sitting in still warm sand at sunset, with cooler winds whirling in and raising a chill across my skin as the sun goes down, yet somehow leaving me feeling warm and comforted.
From the moment I read the notes and description, I knew I had to try Sunshower Valley. My father’s side of family is from the Southwest and in an admittedly misguided attempt to learn more about them, I moved to Arizona.
This reminds me of standing on my patio after a haboob tore through the city, bringing purple skies and dust before cleaning up after itself with a vicious lightning storm that tore of parts of the roof. The parking lot was a mess. I was absolutely shellshocked. Where in the world had I just moved?
Sunshower Valley opens with a burst of petrichor before becoming the warm and gentle smell of the desert after a storm. I don’t get any orange (or orange blossom petals) which, honestly, is fine because this perfume is so beautifully atmospheric and I think any florals would serve as a distraction.
Come for the memories, stay for the storm. I feel like if I opened my mouth and breathed in deep enough, I would be able to taste the lingering dust in the wind.
