## Description

A hotly demanded scent, Petrichor fragrance oil captures the atmospheric aroma that follows a rainy downpour on dry earth after a long, hot day. City dwellers might think of it as concentrated ozone meets asphalt, but our petrichor interpretation is heavier on earth than asphalt.
To be clear, this mesmerizing scent smells a lot like a freshly dug garden out of the bottle (OOB). But its airy marine, moss, and green notes emerge when put in a base.
Much like how Fireside pairs well with woodsy or fruity scents, Petrichor adds incredible complexity to florals, garden scents, and musks when used with a light hand. This naturalistic scent is outstanding in candles, wax melts, and room sprays, and is also approved for soaps, lotions, and scrubs.
This fragrance is infused with essential oils, including patchouli, cypress, galbanum, and vetiver.
Blends well with: Moonflower Nectar, Tomato Leaf, Oakmoss and Amber, Rain Water, Cucumber Water and Melon, Tulip Fields, Ambered Vanille
Alternative branding ideas: After the Rain, First Rain, Rain Storm, Earth
Suggested colors: Light Gray, Light Blue
