Petrichor Fragrance Oil
Choose a Variant

A hotly demanded fragrance, Petrichor fragrance oil captures something very unique. This fragrance evokes the atmospheric scent that follows a downpour of rain on dry earth after long, hot days. City dwellers might think of it as concentrated ozone meets asphalt, but heavier on earth than asphalt.

We don’t want to fool you, this scent smells a lot like a freshly dug up garden out of the bottle (OOB). This scent will be loved as both a standalone scent and as a versatile blender. Much like how Fireside pairs with woodsy or fruity scents, Petrichor blends well with florals, garden scents, and musks. This scent reaches peak performance in candles, wax melts, and tarts.

If you’re seeking a floral retelling of rain, this scent is not it; however, we suggest trying Rain Water instead.

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

Blends well with: Moonflower Nectar, Sea Mist, Tomato 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

Perfection

I've been searching for a scent like this for so long and this exceeded my expectation. To be fair, it won't be everyone's cup of tea with it being very earthy. but I can't imagine not using this in many candles to come.

Beautiful

This fragrance is SO FUN to play with! I've already mixed it with half a dozen other fragrances. It makes everything smell like a forest or a cave. It takes you places.

Light and airy rain

Love this fragrance so much! Creates a light and airy after-rain effect which sets the mood for clean and crisp as well as moody themes. All of my clients love this fragrance. I blend it with multiple other fragrances depending on the mood I'm going for, but even on its own - it can hold its weight.
