Comment on Petrichor
Shellbeach@lemmy.world 17 hours agoYou mean… You can … Bottle up petrichore ??? How come is there no wide range of perfume/candle/lotion and whatnot?
Can I make it at home, if so, how would I go about it with everyday items? Can stretomyces cause health issues?
There’s like an indian family/company that’s been making some hiqh quality petrichor perfume for idk at least 100 years, probably several hundreds, if not a thousand or more idk.
I forget what it’s called you can probably look it up with perfume pertrichor india
They might’ve been making it for 10,000 years for all I know. I don’t know shit.
Yup. I have a shaving soap like that called “Summer Storm.”
I’ve never smelled the stuff but apparently the smell of rain is something people try to bottle.
That’s the romanticized, traditional Indian cowshit mix trying to approximate it. (Not doing a disparaging stereotype here, that’s just literally how the article says they make it.)
I’d be surprised if it actually contains the compound we’re talking about.
I’m nothing close to a chemist but I love watching chemistry videos.
