A hotly demanded scent, Petrichor fragrance oil captures the atmospheric aroma that follows a rainy downpour on dry earth after a long, hot day. City dwellers might think of it as concentrated ozone meets asphalt, but our petrichor interpretation is heavier on earth than asphalt.

To be clear, this mesmerizing scent smells a lot like a freshly dug garden out of the bottle (OOB). But its airy marine, moss, and green notes emerge when put in a base.

Much like how Fireside pairs well with woodsy or fruity scents, Petrichor adds incredible complexity to florals, garden scents, and musks when used with a light hand. This naturalistic scent is outstanding in candles, wax melts, and room sprays, and is also approved for soaps, lotions, and scrubs.

This fragrance is infused with essential oils, including patchouli, cypress, galbanum, and vetiver.

Blends well with: Moonflower NectarTomato Leaf, Oakmoss and Amber, Rain Water, Cucumber Water and Melon, Tulip Fields

Alternative branding ideas: After the Rain, First Rain, Rain Storm, Earth

Suggested colors: Light Gray, Light Blue

This scent is such a versatile fragrance! Love using it to add an earthy depth to so many blends. Great on it's own as well!

Smells exactly like rainy outdoors !
Magpie 2024-08-03

This fragrance is VERY strong and I use it in very small quantities because it can easily overpower all the other fragrances, but when used at a correct ratio, it's absolutely perfect ! It's really mind blowing how much it smells like wet outdoors. Another 10/10 for me !

Realistic Earthy Scent
Emily 2024-08-03

I absolutely love petrichor. I blend it with other woodsy scents for a true to life aroma that evokes memories of outdoor moments. I find that it has a pretty strong hot throw if 464. To me it has a very strong "dirt" scent, but that's what I love about it! It is VERY earthy in the best way. It reminds me of gardening and working with your hands in fresh garden soil. If you love those types of vibes, this might just be what you're looking for! Please keep this one around CS!

Petrichor
Hilary 2024-06-23

This is hands down the best earthy ozone scent ever. I hope it's never discontinued because I blend it with a ton of scents when I make candles. I find that most scents marketed as "earthy" are actually either sort of floral or have a really heavy "manly cologne" smell. Not this one. This smells like actual dirt, but in a great way. I blend it with CS Fresh Cut Grass and CS Tomato Leaf and it smells SO fresh and amazing.
