one of the most delicious smells. i hits u in your brain if you let it. when was the last time you let it? combined with geosmin and ozone, im blissed-out.

i live in a drier region where it often doesn't rain hard enough for long enough for this to be smelled. when it does happen, doesn't matter what the weather's like or how cold it is, i'm going for a walk. been trying to find a good perfume of this one that doesn't snap my bank account in half. surprisingly difficult.

it IS good and DOES represent a longing for change from the powers that be but goddamn the idea of loving the smell of rain has become nigh universal. almost makin me feel lame for liking the rain. oh, but then i say i love winter and suddenly im a MONSTER. can't have your cake and eat it too you naughty boy

It's a 3 or 4 in the city but walking on a trail through the forest or on a hot, hot summer day it's the most beautiful thing in the world.
