🌟 About this video:
This is another video in my perfume science series. If you don't already know, I'm a scientist in my day job, and whilst learning more about perfume over the last few years, certain things have really peaked my curiosity. One of those things is petrichor. Even the word just sounds like magic doesn't it? Well to me, it's been a bit of a hunt to try to sniff a perfume with petrichor, but a recent new fragrance launch, When the Rain Stops by Maison Martin Margiela Replica fragrances, really made me think, yep, that's the smell, right there, and prompted me to make this video.

Petrichor is the smell that you get after rain. But exactly why do we like it? What is that smell? What has that got to do with perfume? And how can that smell be bottled in fragrances?

Here I answer all of those questions and also I suggest some perfumes to go to try to give you an experience of the smell of petrichor in fragrances.

So what about you? Are you a pluviophile: do you love the smell after the rain? And if so, do you want to smell like that? Would you buy a fragrance with that note/accord? Do you like green, mossy, earthy smells or are you just curious to smell it and nothing more, just like I was?

12:51 What do you think?

There are many other fragrances that can give aspects of rain, watery feelings, greenness, earthiness, dampness etc but I've tried to give examples of fragrances with a definite idea of petrichor as a whole rather than just individual aspects of petrichor.

You could also check out:
🌧️ Burberry My Burberry EDP, which is a fragrance meant to reflect the smell of London after the rain
🥀 All Saints Flora Mortis, which I think is a very interesting fragrance anyway, but that has something geosmin-like about it to suggest decay, as the perfume is based around the idea of dying flowers. I know it sounds weird, but it works!
