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,Β 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:Β Light Gray, Light Blue

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.

Smells like wet soil in the best possible way
Natalie D. 2024-05-17

If you love the scent of wet earth after a heavy rainfall, then this is EXACTLY it! I am so impressed with this scent. Just a word of caution, if you're blending it with other fragrance oils, go easy because it will overpower everything else. This fragrance oil does not disappoint. It's earthy, rich, beautiful, and very natural. I highly recommend!
