Petrichor

Petrichor by Demeter is a highly divisive fragrance that evokes the scent of wet earth after rain, though its accuracy is debated. Some users describe it as a true representation of petrichor—capturing damp grass, soil, and a subtle aquatic freshness—resulting in a clean, earthy, and gender-neutral aroma. Others report it lacks the authenticity of rain on dry earth, instead smelling more like fresh citrus, rubber, or even a chemical-laden, sour-sharp note. The scent is generally considered light in sillage and modest in longevity, with some users noting it lingers well on fabric or in enclosed spaces like a bathroom. It’s most often worn during spring and summer, with a few noting it works on day-time occasions. While several appreciate its unique mood-enhancing quality and subtle linearity, others find it repellent and ill-fitting for the intended olfactory experience.
