Petrichor
Petrichor
Petrichor is defined as the smell in the air that accompanies the first rain after a period of dry, hot weather. Did you know that our noses can detect Geosmin in the air at less than 5 parts per trillion? That's 200,000 times more sensitive than a shark is to blood in water! Scientists believe that humans evolved over time to better pick up these scents, bringing them closer to areas of fresh rain water for survival.

Okay, I know this candle is way more expensive than my typical scents, but hear me out: Trust me when I say that this is not your average "after the rain" scent that you'll find from other companies.
The difference between F+F Petrichor and other rain type scents is that not only are there none of those flowery, aquatic type notes that other brands try to pass off as "rain"... But other companies typically leave out the main component of what makes Petrichor what it is - and I'll be frank here - because it's QUITE expensive. But I wanted to give you all the real deal for this scent... and so I got it.
It's DAMP. It's EARTHY. It's a whole experience, and it's ridiculous how authentic this scent is. It truly smells like being a kid again, stomping in puddles on the hot asphalt after that first good rain of the season. I can guarantee that if you haven't found what you're looking for in an "after the rain" scent from other companies - this is the ONE!

Care Information
Burn within sight and away from flammable objects. Keep away from children and pets.
Trim your wick to 1/4" before lighting for the first time and between burns. Keep candle free of any foreign materials including matches and wick trimmings.
Only burn the candle on a level, fire resistant surface.
Do not burn candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
Discontinue use when only 1/4" of wax remains — but feel free to place the remaining wax in a wax melter to get the most out of it!

The only candle I've come across that actually really nails that rainy wet pavement smell!
I light this candle every time I shower or take a bath. it’s a dewy, floral scent that lightens any space. Its refreshing! Definitely a bathroom/kitchen candle.
Very speedy shipping. Awesome scent.
