Gentle wind and petrichor, after a light drizzle while in the eye of the storm. Hard to describe without coming across as conceited. It’s a tad screechy, muggy and tropical. It progresses as smushed leaves appear from someone’s foot as they hurried to get inside and dirty pavements where bubbles arise from the water that rushes down towards you.
Patchouli and green notes create the stench of upturned earth. There’s flowers and aquatic notes that create the sense of humidity, sweaty humidity. There’s faint citruses that brighten it up a bit, but the trees are billowing and the skies are black… a storm is coming to town. Finally, the vanillic dry down appears to be calm… perhaps you’re inside feeling a bit relaxed, finally managed to get home where the air conditioner is on but you’re wearing a nice warm jumper.

A moderately interesting concoction of herbs and flowers with fruity nuances. Not as banal as one would expect from this types of compositions yet far from being a standout. The fragrance suffers form a watery/aquatic presence adding an unpleasant and slightly weird undertone.
From a fragrance named Strom, I expected something more edgy or, at least, some tension…
Rating: 5/10

This smells more floral and herbal than stormy. The flowers are hard to identify, but if I were put on the spot I’d say ylang-ylang, and sunflowers along with an obnoxious aquatic. When I look at the perfumer’s notes, however, I see hyacinth and delphinium. Hyacinth? Maybe. It does have something vaguely in common with ylang-ylang. As far as I know, delphinium doesn’t have a fragrance, at least not the tiny blue-purple ones that I grow.
I smell a vanilla-tonka sweetness at the base, and as things settle down, the aquatic note subsides and I begin to like it a lot. After an hour or two, what I smell is mostly a very nice musk that reminds me of a warm, furry animal. Although not evocative of a storm to me, this is a unique scent that I could enjoy wearing.

This is edgy, unsettling but good. On me it opens quite green and sharp before settling down to a lovely earthy floral that is never too sweet. Inspiring stuff.

From Neil Morris’ website
Top Notes: Papaya, Lime
Middle Notes: Delphinium, Purple Hyacinth
Base Notes: Tonka, Golden Musk, Earth and Marine Notes
I am not sure about the opening either…did not get limes and not much of the papaya either. I am not familiar with Delphinium but Hyacinth is definitely there.
It is a unique perfume indeed. There is something a little similar smelling in the Neil Morris fragrances I tried so far (Rose of Kali, Afire, Moulin Rouge) but could not put my finger on it yet.
This is something fizzy and earthy at the same time.
Also as if leather was in it…
I find this a very much wearable scent and quite unisex. Not flowery on me at all. Maybe it is more on the masculine side than the feminine.

Indeed it has a rubbery note and it lasts and lasts on me :)) Besides it’s earthy with dusty flowers and gives me somehow the feeling of thick air. I like it as an image of storm but wouldn’t wear it myself.

Before I get the papaya (the lime passes me by entirely), I smell a weird rubbery note. It quickly turns sticky sweet and flowery but at one point there really is something unsettling about this – like when you know a heavy summer storm is approaching, the stuffy air suddenly becomes cool and the sky turns to a strange shade of blue-black. To me, the drydown is the best part with the tonka bean, the musk and a strange earthy note, just before it turns unbearably powdery. As with most Neil Morris fragrances, both sillage and lasting power are excellent and the quality is outstanding. Personally, I don’t like sweet, tropical fruity florals, but that’s my problem (there are so many NM frags that I love more, e.g. the wonderful Aegean). But if you do, you should definitely give it a go.
