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.
Fresh rain scent has been bottled in air fresheners, laundry detergents, and candles for years. This amazing aroma even has a proper name: petrichor. It was first used by Isabel Joy Bear and R. G.
