Petrichor

Petrichor is the smell of rain on dry soil, and this candle smells like the first rain after a dry spell. The scent is nostalgic for me. It brings me right back to my childhood, when I spent hours outside in nature.

The candle opens with sharp, ozonic notes of summer rain that mellow as it burns. Wet earth, ferns, dark patchouli, mushrooms, and snapped twigs linger underneath.

The smell of rain on dry soil is different in every place. This interpretation of petrichor comes from my upbringing in New England. If you grew up in the deserts of the western United States, I recommend the Creosote or Sagebrush candles instead.
