Petrichor is the smell of rain on warm, dry ground. This candle is our best seller and our answer to the question we hear more than any other: "Do you have a candle that smells like rain?" It smells like damp garden soil and green moss, with a little cucumber for the cool, wet air and a touch of patchouli underneath.

Common questions
What is petrichor? It's the name for the earthy smell that comes with the first rain after a dry spell. It comes from plant oils and a soil compound called geosmin that the rain lifts into the air. See every size and gift set on our Petrichor Candle page.
How do I get the best burn? On the first burn, let the melted wax reach the edge of the jar, usually two to three hours. Trim the wick to about a quarter inch each time, and burn no more than four hours at a stretch.
Is this the same Petrichor sold in your Etsy shop? Yes. It's the same candle at the same price.
Burning & care
Burning & care
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar (about 2 to 3 hours) so it does not tunnel.
Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time, on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets and children. Stop when about 1/2 inch of wax remains.
