Petrichor

Wet Earth · Summer Ozone · Ferns

Petrichor is the smell of rain on dry soil. It is an incredibly unique and nostalgic scent that brings me right back to my childhood, when I would spend hours playing outside in nature.

The candle opens with top notes of fresh flowers, cut grass, and rainwater. As the candle burns, the sweeter smells evaporate, leaving behind notes of freshly tilled soil and mushrooms.

This smell is unique and might not be to everyone's taste. I encourage you to try the free-smelling samples to find the scent that's right for you. Additionally, the smell of rain on dry soil is unique in different locations. This particular interpretation of petrichor is based on my upbringing in New England. However, if you grew up in the deserts of western America, I might instead recommend trying either the Creosote or Sagebrush candles.

I’d give more stars if I could!! My original package was stolen out of my mailbox, and the maker shipped me a new one when I commented on a video that that had happened! He was super prompt with it too. It smells amazing. I’m reading during a rainstorm with it lit next to me right now. Beautiful!

This is my favorite petrichor candle in the entire world. It smells like I’m walking on a path in a forest in a summer rain.

100% gives what it's supposed to. My boyfriend has a sound machine with a thunderstorm and the candle is the cherry on top for relaxation. We feel so grounded with this scent. High quality candle for sure. Burn is great.
