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.

Yep, it evokes freshly rained-upon grass and concrete, but Thunderstorm does it a bit better. I couple them with Grey Flannel and can't keep my nose away.

Wonderful single note frag. I do smell cucumbers tho. Recommend

love it. knew I would. calone-y? yes, if you think about it. plasticky? a little, in the middle. aquatic notes you might pick up in any designer mens' cologne? YEAH. but my friends. we might call the scent of the earth after rain with a single word, but it's composed of tens of different scents, and I truly feel like the multiple weird notes in here come together in the coolest display of simple artistry. it's fresh and dark (the plasticky, kind of burnt note isn't stronger than the more natural/general ones, but it really reminds me of asphalt! and as a city boy, it really pulls me into the rainy atmosphere more), polite and distinct, grainy and smooth. a little masculine, but can probably be demure enough, esp with how Demeters wear off (most folks) in a heartbeat. definitely in a different VEIN of similarity than Dirt, but paints an excellent picture. can not wait to try every layering combination with this. SCORE!

This one smells great! It's not exactly a true "after a summer rain" petrichor smell, but close enough I suppose. I wore it a couple times and it was nice. It was subtle enough to forget I had it on, catch a whiff, and wonder what the interesting smell was before remembering. I am enjoying using my sample bottle up by spraying it on the shower curtain before taking a shower. The bathroom still smells like it after a few days, so this is a very long-lasting scent.

I think the note description in this section is accurate, and is the most dirty (asphalt/ metallic dirt that is), Aquatic and fresh scent. But also, it is more aquatic and sweeter than it is fresh. There's also a very subtle grassy green note under as well. This is definitely a photo realistic scent but it's too niche to be wearable. That being said for sent profiling this is good.

It doesn't smell like how I expected at all, it's giving CUCUMBER all caps, but after the initial surprise/disappointment(?), it grew on me super quickly. It's refreshing in the summer and smells kind of sophisticated to me. I wore it for all of the fashion week events I've attended so far, so maybe I just associate it with good memories. Either way, no regrets.

I like putting it on radiators around my house to create a nice smell. I'm less a fan of actually wearing it. it does not give petrichor to me, or at least what I understand that scent to be

Watery notes are much stronger than earth note which feels like a shadow. Not exactly the smell of earth after rain but quite a good aquatic scent with good moderate perfotmance.

I have the perfume oil rollerball. It's not exactly the same as petrichor, but it does have a similarly bracing mineral tang. I like to layer it with the Demeter lilac sometimes.

Not enough dirt to really be photorealistic petrichor for me. It is a bit good weird, and reminds be of laundry dried outside in the humid Minnesota air.

It really resembles petrichor. Just with a hint of pepper. One of the stronger pals amongst the other Demeter stuff in the means of longevity.

It smells like someone made floral candy with rain instead of rosewater, sweet and aquatic, and I'm not getting much dirt from it.

Strange citrus and rubber on my skin. It's not petrichor, but I don't hate it. I smell like a grey-tire-rubber orange rind.

smells like honeydew melon. very pleasant and i'm glad i bought it, it's just not what i was expecting!

It smells like a gentle yet firm hug from a supportive loving man. I like that very much. :)
