This sampler allows you to experience the scent of rain in various locations. You know how just before it rains, you can smell the rain? That's because the air becomes more humid and the ground begins to moisten. This process helps to speed up the activity of the actinobacteria and more geosmin is formed. When raindrops fall on the ground, especially porous surfaces such as loose soil or rough concrete, they will splatter and eject tiny particles called aerosols. The geosmin and other petrichor compounds that may be present on the ground or dissolved within the raindrop are released in aerosol form and carried by the wind to surrounding areas. If the rainfall is heavy enough, the petrichor scent can travel rapidly downwind and alert people that rain is soon on the way. The scent eventually goes away after the storm has passed and the ground begins to dry. This leaves the actinobacteria lying in wait – ready to help us know when it might rain again.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler.
- Sixeen92 The Vanishing Hitchhiker Parfum - The Vanishing Hitchhiker was released as part of Sixteen92's Friday the 13th Collection (originally released July 13, 2018). A humid, wet and ghostly green atmospheric. Reminiscent of driving on lonely nighttime roads through a hot summer storm with the windows down. Nearly every region has a version or two of the tale of the ghostly hitchhiker. Her scent is forlorn and reminiscent of dark, lonely roads and summer storms: Soaked lace gown, bare feet on red clay, heavy air and rolling thunder, warm raindrops on a cracked windshield, screeching brakes, a flurry of fireflies, and a single puddle on an empty back seat. The Vanishing Hitchhiker features notes of soaked lace gown, bare feet on red clay, heavy air and rolling thunder, warm raindrops on a cracked windshield, screeching brakes, a flurry of fireflies and a single puddle on an empty back seat.
- Alkemia Mist Becoming Rain Perfume Oil - Rainwater, mist drenched hazel wood, meadow grasses, sage blooms, orris root, ozone, grey amber. Deep, dark, cool and mysterious.
- Moonlight Cove Finery Forest Rain Perfume Oil - A misty woodland, lush in shades of green with grand evergreens and noble boughs that briefly catch the cool drops, then release them gracefully from the tips of needles; the rain that cascades down moss-painted trunks, and that patters and drips upon the forest floor; and splashes, forming gentle ripples in the clear brooks and tranquil ponds. A beautiful, crisp rain that drenches the woods and earth, throwing the perfume of the forest into the air with scents of fir needles, pines, cedars and spruce; damp bark and soft green mosses, moist earth and the rich forest floor.
- Possets Perfume Dancing With the Sprites in the Fall Rain Perfume Oil - A fabulously dry and sophisticated take on fallen leaves, wet days, and overcast autumn skies. The ozone/water of dank, a hint of mushroom musk. Overall, there is a huge resemblance to lavender but it is not lavender. As a huge wood hides its secrets from you, this blend is a morpher for sure.
- The Little Book Eater Fresh Rain Perfume Oil - This was inspired by the magical and uplifting essence of fresh rain. Made with the scents of rain, dew drops and mist. Calm, clean, and refreshing.
- Eldritch Whispers Forsaken Perfume Oil - A hundred thousand tonnes of stone to proclaim what any child can write as enduringly with a knife in the bark of a tree: "I was here". That's how much men fear, not death, but being forgotten… A somber blend of fog, sea salt and cold rain.
- Demeter Rain Cologne - Rain is one of the cleanest, and most delicate, fragrances in the Library-sweet, fresh, with the incredibly powerful smell of fresh rain. Why so powerful? Some believe there a deep-seated link between the smell of rain and the expectation of growth that drives those visceral feelings. But whatever the basis, the power of the scent of Rain is undeniable. She couldn’t believe the heat. Wasn’t Los Angeles supposed to always have great weather? Well, not in August, or at least not this particular August. And then a sun shower! Without a cloud in the sky a gentle rain fell, not much more than a mist, but it was enough to change everything. She could feel the tension leave her body like a weight.
