Hello,

Could anyone please recommend a fragrance that smells like the scent after fresh rain fall?

I'm not even sure if there is such a thing, I searched for petrichor fragrances but found nothing.

Thank you!

There is: Angéliques sous la Pluie (angelicas in the rain) from the Frederic Malle line.

Yes, I was thinking about that one too. I guess petrichor is a mix of warm earthy notes, reminiscent of clay, and mineralic, clean notes. I'd love to get something that is a mix of Eau d'Italie's clay accord, AslP top & heart notes and Arboretum's earthy greenness. Maybe with some ambergris and gunpowder thrown in too.

I agree with this. The search function may be helpful to you.

Apart from the ones already listed, a few other frags in the "after the rain" category immediately come to mind:

Victrix by Profumum
Under the Arbor and Black March by CB-I Hate Perfume
Odeur 53 by CdG

Black March by CBI Hate Perfume is VERY realistic. It's unbelievably so. I have a sample, which I love, but not to wear.
