EARTHY PERFUMERY COMPOUNDS

Petrichor is the term coined for the unique, earthy smell associated with rain. It is caused by the water from the rain, along with certain compounds like ozone, geosmin, and plant oils. These earthy compounds can be floral, root, leafy, muddy and green.

Please Note: Due to the fact that our fragrances are very concentrated, we suggest that you test our fragrances in finished products before you make any conclusions about our fragrances. Since our fragrances are so strong, we suggest only using 0.5 to max 4% in any finished product. Our testing notes should never take the place of your own personal testing. Always test fragrance in finished (product) applications.

EARTHY SCIENCE OF PERFORMANCE

Different compounds are involved to varying degrees in the smell of rain, depending on whether we’re talking about the post-rain or the pre-rain smell. The major origin of these compounds are bacteria in the ground and soil, oils released by plants during periods of dry weather, and electrical charge in the vicinity of thunderstorms. These oils collect in the soil and in rocks; rain then causes a range of smaller, volatile compounds within them to be released into the air. Their combination with geosmin in the air causes ‘petrichor’. The closed-loop stripping analysis (CLSA) method of Grob, in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), has been used in the determination of earthy-musty-smelling compounds. This technique has been modified to include the CLSA of sediments and laboratory-grown microbiological cultures in order to investigate the sources of the odorous compounds.
