smell of rain
    #14646621 - 06/21/11 02:01 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

What is this smell? Any ideas? Some say its the pores opening up after the rain, which would make sense, but not really. It would have to be something chemical wouldnt it? How come no one has researched such things?

Nope, it's a mixture of petrichor and geosmin.

Different rains have very different smells to me.  My favorite is the hot desert, dusty smelling rain.

Goddamn grad students. Seriously though, thanks, I didn't know this. But still: how come rain smells to me so much like the laser printer at work?

I always thought it was just the smell of wet asphalt 'cause I only smell it when I'm near a street :shrug:

is that the compounds they found in clay? I remember reading about a study done on some clay and they had noticed it smelt like rain, was done a long long time ago.

I wonder what the laser printer smell is...  Toner?

I'm not really sure. Might indeed be a component of the waxy toner. It smells pretty close to summer rain.
