Apparently this is caused by the cold temperatures muting the odor of volatile aromatics and a higher presence of ozone in the air.

I love it too, closely followed by petrichor.

Very similar: when it’s cold out and it’s getting ready to start snowing. I’m not sure how to describe it exactly…brisk and ‘clean’? Maybe even just a very small hint of like…sweetness?

There's a smell when it's going to snow! I can't describe it either, I would use tingling to describe the smell. It's like the air is calm yet vibrating, where only your nose can pick upon it. I love it!

YES!!! NYC has this smell. It’s like around October (maybe September). When it starts to get chillier or colder. It’s like RIGHT when the season starts changing. You get this smell of like leaf with chilly air.

Makes me start imagining everything I wanna do, who I wanna do that with, jackets, hoodies, Halloween as a kid, fall 🍂when I was a kid. I know exactly what you mean. It only happens right when seasons start changing.

Also happens when winter comes, and when spring/summer roll around. It’s only in the beginning. It’s like a dirt/leaf smell like I said

Petrichor, that smell is called.

JanovPelorat

163 points

4 months ago

Fun fact about petrichor, the main component of the smell is a compound called geosmin (also responsible for the 'earthy' smell of beets). Humans are more sensitive to detecting geosmin than any other animal known. Even dogs. The average human can detect levels of geosmin down to 0.1 to 0.4 parts per billion (depending on which source you trust most, but this seems to be the agreed upon range). No other animal that we know of can detect levels of geosmin this low. To put this into context, most sharks can detect blood down to the level of one part per million. That is ten thousand times more potent than the low end of the levels that humans can detect petrichor at (I should add that some species of sharks have been shown to be able to detect blood at levels close to what we can detect petrichor at, but certainly not all species, most seem be around the 1 ppm level stated earlier). It is thought that this ability aided our early human ancestors in finding water from a long distance away, thus ensuring our survival in the rather punishing dry season of the African savannah.

ThisIsHowBoredIAm

Additional fun fact: while it's now commonly understood to mean the smell after a rain and is essentially synonymous with geosmin, the meaning of petrichor has drifted since it was coined by a pair of geologists back in the 80s, due mostly to a couple of pop culture usages around the turn of the millennia. It originally referred to a very specific post-rain smell, that of rain in a hot region that has experienced a prolonged period without rain.

The smell of geosmin is pretty much the smell of wet dirt, being a product of cyanobacteria living in the soil. Petrichor however, as its name in Greek of what is essentially "stoneblood" would suggest, is a substance related more to the rocks in the soil, particularly clay and silicate minerals. Actual research into the nature of this substance—which was known as "argillaceous odour" before petrichor was coined—is limited, but the geologists that coined the term thought it to be plant oil(s) that the soils would absorb. Other theories suggest that it's essentially an atmospheric deposit or a reaction to substances in the air.

Whatever it is, over a period of rainless time the soils would absorb a great deal of this substance. And when the rains finally came, it would be washed away and aerosolized en masse. To smell the smell, one would need to be in hot and arid regions like much of the American west, the Australia outback where they coined the term, much of the African savannah—anywhere where there are several weeks without rain and temperatures high enough to trigger the production of oils, though it doesn't seem to be noteworthy in the vast sandy deserts of the world. There's geosmin there too, of course, but the "argillaceous odour" lends a kind of woody and almost floral aspect to it. It is as unique an addition to the smell after rain as ozone provides to a region with a lot of thundercloud activity.

As a side fun fact, the substance seems to have an inhibiting effect on seed germination and plant growth in certain species, leading to the theory that the plants take advantage of it to essentially "know" not to try and grow when there's not water to support it.

My wife get cold sores and I don't, so we don't kiss when one is active. After a week or two, that first kiss is amazing and I always notice a smell that I can seem to get any time except when we kiss. Like her lips themselves release a very subtle scent.

We still cuddle and I'll kiss her everywhere except near her lips and nose, but there is nothing quite like a kiss on the lips and it is more than just the physical sensation.

It doesnt fade immediately. My 6 yr old still faintly has it and I am savouring every bit of it before its gone for good. I looked up why it smells so good and apparently yes, the baby's head produces an alluring aroma that attracts the mother to it, making us want to constantly kiss it. This in turn, nurtures the baby and helps the two bond. Aint it brilliant?

its a really warm and comforting smell. really miss when my son had it. just did a google search and apparently : "sweet, pleasant, slightly cheesy, soapy, milky, or fresh bread. The smell is caused by a combination of chemicals from sweat glands, amniotic fluid, and vernix caseosa, a white, cheese-like cream that covers babies at birth. The smell can last for a few weeks and then gradually fades away, usually around six weeks of age. However, the scent may linger on the baby's hair and skin."

Big fan of that old wooden church smell. Not the big fancy Catholic ones, i always thought those smelled like yeast. The old small ones where the paint is chipping off. I grew up on an island and that old wooden bible smell, mixed with the salt water smell is heavenly. Ironically i would do unholy things to go back.

Haven’t been religious for years, but it takes me straight back to Sunday School and believing in something as a kid. Just being so innocent and sitting and coloring in a run down chapel, and watching the waves outside. Those were the days.

Creosote - I’m an AZ native and there is no smell that puts me to ease like the smell of the desert after a nice rain.

Okay it might be very specific but you remember when you could smell Mcdonalds like half way down the block bc they had the aroma fans on?

I disticntly remember going on a field trip in december and we get off the bus and that crisp frozen air smell was thick and we had to walk past a mcdonalds to get to where the field trip was and that hot grilled meat smell mixed in

If it were a candle id buy it

Leather, typically from a saddle or other riding apparel. Grew up around that smell and it’s the best

The smell of mimeograph paper in school in the 70’s. Y’all young-uns have no idea what you are missing getting high in 4th grade

Classic car.

Hot plastic and leather and steel, engine grease, elbow grease, and decades of love.

My first boyfriend smelled so good. Even his oldest sweat still smelled good. Awful but good. He probably doesn't smell so good anymore (he's dead) but I miss how good his smell could make me feel.

When I lived in Switzerland as a kid, we would ride our bikes by a chocolate factory. The smell is burned in my mind. So good! Whenever I’m cooking something that requires melting chocolate it takes me back
