Questions
What does Petrichor Plains smell like?
Petrichor Plains is a water parfum from Series Two. The top notes are rain and iris. The middle notes are violet, rosemary, and cardamom. The base notes are amyris and Australian sandalwood.
It smells like the moment a thunderstorm breaks over dry ground. Wood and earth, asphalt and ash, awoken and aerated by rain. Dormant rock and aching fields entering the ether. A eulogy for long hot days, released into something cool and ancient.
How long does Petrichor Plains last on the skin?
Petrichor Plains lasts between 8 and 12 hours on skin. At 30% parfum concentration, the amyris and Australian sandalwood base holds the lighter water and iris notes in place far longer than a typical fresh scent.
It opens cool and rain soaked, then softens into something earth warmed and quiet. Apply to pulse points. The wrists, behind the ear, the hollow of the throat.
Is Petrichor Plains unisex?
Yes. Petrichor Plains is genderless by design. The rain, iris, and rosemary read as elemental rather than feminine or masculine. It belongs to whoever has stood in a paddock and smelled the rain before it arrived.
When should I wear Petrichor Plains?
Petrichor Plains is built for the first cool day after heat. A return. A relief. The moment everything releases.
It also wears beautifully through autumn and into winter, when the air carries that same dampness on its own. A parfum for the body that has been outside, or wants to be.
Who does Petrichor Plains suit?
Petrichor Plains suits the one who feels the land. Who has stood in the middle of a paddock and smelled the rain before it arrived. Who belongs to country. Its Tact words are Porous, Melodious, Argillaceous, Relieving.
It suits anyone who finds weather restorative.
What inspired Petrichor Plains?
Petrichor Plains was inspired by the arrival of rain after a long, hot, dry day. Both founders grew up in the Australian countryside and vividly recall the moment a thunderstorm finally breaks. The earth exhales, the air fills with something ancient and alive.
It belongs to Series Two, dedicated to the rare and natural phenomena of the Australian landscape.
What is petrichor and what does it smell like?
Petrichor is the word for the distinctive earthy scent of rain falling on dry soil. It comes from oils released by plants during dry weather and from a compound called geosmin produced by soil bacteria. When rain hits, these are lifted into the air.
In Petrichor Plains, we have built that exact sensory experience using iris, violet, rosemary, cardamom, amyris, and Australian sandalwood. The rain accord at the top opens the scent. The wood and root notes below carry the smell of the earth itself.
How does Petrichor Plains compare to the other Mihan Aromatics parfums?
Petrichor Plains is the most elemental and cooling scent in the collection. Where Guilty Story is heat and Sinful Rose is intimacy, Petrichor Plains is relief.
Within the broader collection it sits closest in character to Munlark Ash, which is also a Series Two scent of the Australian landscape, though Munlark Ash is dry bush and tree resin where Petrichor Plains is rain and earth. If you are choosing between them, Petrichor Plains is after the rain and Munlark Ash is before it.
What sizes does Petrichor Plains come in?
Petrichor Plains is available in 10ml, 30ml, and 100ml parfum sizes. It is also available as a candle and air fragrance, allowing the scent to settle into a room as well as onto skin.
Can I try Petrichor Plains before buying a full bottle?
Yes. Petrichor Plains is included in our Discovery Set, which contains 2ml vials of all seven Mihan Aromatics parfums. Wear it across different days and weather. A 20% discount code for any full size parfum is included with every Discovery Set.
