This petrichor candle is literally perfect. Its strong but not overwhelming, and it is uncanny how accurate it is. I love natural scents and this is just so comforting like a hike in woods. My new favorite candle
I moved from the east coast years ago and this is one of those smells that you’d think you’d forget after some time gone. I lit this the night I got it and was immediately thrown back to the rain storms we had. Pair it with a sound machine of some rain and you’ve got yourself a cozy night in. I have no idea how you captured this smell so perfectly but i can safely say it will be in my regular rotation for as long as you keep making it.
This is the 2nd Petrichor candle I’ve purchased. It’s wonderful & really does have the essence of rain.
This candle smells like dirt. Wet dirt, with some mossy bits and maybe some works. Almost certainly there are mushrooms nearby. I wanted dirt, I got dirt.
Smell is great and just the right strength and it burns well. It smells like it should cost 3 times as much, but instead it’s sliding scale. Will buy from here again.
It’s some good dirt.
Hey Ben! I'm so glad you're enjoying the candle and thanks very much for your kind review. I wanted to reach out to let you know that there is in fact an aroma compound called "Matsutake Alcohol" (aka Mushroom Alcohol) that does give a bit of an earthy/mushroomy smell to the candle, so you were spot on with that description! :D
Take care and have a great week!

This brings me right back to my childhood going for hikes early in the morning after a light rain with my uncle.
