What does rain smell like?
Petrichor is the name given to that distinctive earthy scent released when rain falls on dry ground. Fresh yet grounded, it combines the impression of cool air, wet leaves, mineral earth and damp woods.
It isn’t one single fragrance note, which makes it the perfect inspiration for something entirely your own.

“I’d begin with equal measures of Green and Ozonic to capture rain-soaked leaves with a crisp edge. I’d then add a smaller measure of Woody to ground the fragrance and recreate the warmth of damp earth beneath it. Fresh, atmospheric and beautifully wearable.”
“When it comes to designing fragrance, I usually favour less. Here, Mossy captures everything I love about petrichor - earthy, green and rain-soaked. I’d soften it further with Wood Symphony, adding warmth, depth and an elegant finish.”
