The Smell of the Rain


Petrichor /PET-truh-core/ Noun - A distinctive, earthy, usually pleasant odor that is associated with rainfall, especially when following a warm, dry period, and that arises from a combination of volatile plant oils and geosmin released from the soil into the air and by ozone carried by downdrafts.
