"I love this fragrance so much. It mixes so well with dirt and it makes sort of a clean, wet dirt earthy smell when mixed but by itself once you spray it it smells straight up green, but mixing it with dirt gives it that sweet dirt smell, I went out a bit ago and I was driving around with the windows down. I just got home two hours later. I still smell like it, I put it on my hair and my wrists."
Thunderstorm Perfume Oil Roll on
$17.00
0.3 oz
The Scent: The Demeter Fragrance Thunderstorm captures this complex sensory moment perfectly. Like poetry, Thunderstorm is subtle and difficult to define, but real, with Thunderstorm reflecting the deep and violent nature of a summer storm.
The Inspiration: Have you ever considered the olfactory side of rain? You know it's coming, you can smell it in the air (exactly!). It does seem that on summer days when it is hot and dry, with a thunderstorm brewing just over the next hill, you can `smell the rain. Well, you can smell something, but rain? Have you ever tried to smell this same rain in January when the ground is frozen solid? Not a chance, but when the ground and plants are warmer, you can smell something.
The Story: What you really smell comes not from the air, but the ground! Plants release oils that enter the soil and blend with the other earthy odors. These odors are released into the air when the relative humidity at ground level exceeds 75 percent. Moist humid air will transmit odors far better than dry air. In these moist humid conditions we notice these odors more readily. And since rain is so often connected with moist humid air, we tend to associate one with the other.

Reviews
Actually smells like petrichor
"So a while back I got the petrichor scent as a gift. I liked it a lot, but it didn't smell like petrichor, just smelled vaguely fresh. This, on the other hand, smells way more like it than I had expected it to. Fresh and very earthy, like damp dirt and moss. I love it so much. Used it in the foolproof blending kit with some other scents and it is exactly what I had hoped it would be. If you're looking for something that smells like rain, look no further"
"The first spray captivated me and I could really smell and feel that oncoming rain, however the fragrance settled into something really ozonic and airy. I heard this described as more of a petrichor scent than the Petrichor cologne. However, this reminds me of a cheap men’s body wash. Ill have to try the petrichor scent next and see if I prefer that one."
"Smells just like im standing outside on my porch during a thunderstorm. A fresh smell, a kind of sweet note underneath it all? Very earthy, like wet dirt. Almost like im im the outdoor garden section of a store when the sprinklers turn on. Bought this for my husband who loves forest-y scents!"
"Everything i had hoped it would be! I layer this with either wet garden or lilac. I have more scents on tje way and more in my cart to layer with this depending on the mood i want to convey. The earthy, wer soil note is perfect"
"It smells like standing in a gravel parking lot after a rain on a super hot day ... which I like. But for some reason this oil isn't as strong, and doesn't last as long, as some others."
"I'm very impressed with this fragrance. It really does smell like a thunderstorm, lightning/ozone notes. Well done, will buy more of 10/10"
"Wonderful scent. Similar to petrichor but a bit more masculine. A touch more of a green smell whereas petrichor is a little more floral"
"Really good copy of a thunderstorm scent. Reminds me of the smell of wet dirt during rain. All it is missing is a slight ozone scent from lightning, and I would think I just walked outside in a storm. (It is a earthy scent, but I also feel like it has hint of geranium or something. It smells more like how petricor irl smells, minus that freshness of ozone from the rain and lightning. Also, you dont have to deal with humidity so thats another plus)"
"My all time favorite scent i wish i could soak in it all day it is the perfect embodiment of it's name"
