Known as petrichor.
Petrichor is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Greek πέτρα petra, meaning "stone", and ἰχώρ īchōr, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology
Just had a walk through a pine forest and remembered that this very thing was being discussed on the radio this morning. |

Interesting, thanks for that. After today's effort the whole place has taken on a much fresher aroma. The sunflowers have taken a bit of a kicking though.

Tell him that petrichor is the scent of the outside, that mystical place one finds when they leave the xbox/ playstation.  |

After rain showers onto the dry land the stink i notice certainly can't be compared to a scent. Its rather like the cheesy smell of unchanged underwear.

Driving on an open road when it's raining,with some decent music on is one of life's simple pleasures.... |
