Petrichor Soap Brick

There’s a word for the smell of the ground after a rain: petrichor. From the Greek words petra, meaning stone, and ichor, which is the blood in the veins of gods, the scent is caused by microbes in the soil interacting with warm rain and it’s intoxicated people for as long as the rains have been falling. (The researchers who first named the scent found that as early as 1960, it was being captured to sell as a scent called “matti ka attar” in Uttar Pradesh, India.) The smell carries with it a type of raw, primal power. The sky has just taken a bath, the old, the sloughed-off, the no longer necessary has been washed away. The air is clean and electric. Mother Nature, born anew.
