The fresh aroma after a summer downpour is one of life's pleasing scents. The earthy fragrance was named petrichor by Australian researchers in 1964. They described it as a combination of plant oils and the chemical compound geosmin which are released from the soil when it rains.
Plants give off odors after a rain. rain smells like fresh cut grass, earth and flowers...just like how a dogs smell gets stronger after they get wet (wet dog smell) so does everything else. Except the majority of things that get wet are plants and flowers so that smell overcomes most. Rain is a good smell! NikkiSixx Â· 8 years ago.
