Petrichor

Petrichor (Oil Version) Review This smells like drinking icy cucumber and melon-infused water under a vast, open mountain sky. I don’t pick up any earthy or "soil tincture" notes at all—just a fresh, watery blend of cucumber and melon. It’s a delightfully crisp and aquatic scent, but not quite what I’d expect from something named Petrichor. A little more wet earth would have helped it live up to its namesake. That said, I enjoy it nonetheless! I love fresh, airy fragrances—there’s something about them that feels like a cleansing renewal for the soul. Longevity & Performance: 💧 Lasts about 6 hours on my skin. 💨 Projects fairly well with a light, musky sillage. For those who doused themselves in Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon body spray in the ‘90s, this will hit you with a solid punch of nostalgia. 🥒🍈✨

To me, it smells like the steamy rain on hot concrete. The storm rolls in after a sunny day and it rains for 20 minutes. The steam rising as the sun comes back out. I’m disappointed in these reviews. The oil version is a staple of mine but the last two I bought were probably back last summer. Talk of a new formulation worries me. Though I may already have it. I have thunderstorm oil and that one is nice.. but it’s really just grassy dirt. The aquatics are more profound in this one. Demeter can nail the dirt scent really well and I mostly get that in thunderstorm whereas Petrichor is more true to the name. To my nose atleast I sense no cucumber melon. It leans more dollar store shower gel with a name like mountain fresh or something.

Pretty much Thunderstorm with the "rain" vibe turned up...there's a bit of sweetness in here too that I can't quite put my finger on...it's not breaking new ground by any means, especially for Demeter, but this is very good...

You'll get something of a petrichor effect after a considerable drydown but Thunderstorm is better yet. Then again, my bottles are a few years old so I know nothing about possible recent reformulations.

riding through the night after a chilly rainstorm is exactly what this smells like, if you know the smell of wet roads and a little bit of grass, this is it.
