OMG i love that smell. The scent of purity and refreshing scent. That the time when i think that the earth have been purify for a moment and traking a deep breath of fresh air after the rain is very smoothing. Wow it stopped raining, time to cut it short and smell the air

Really I like the smell of the earth . Usually we will get this smell only for the first rain in the season. Other rains will not smell

Hi. amimra. Yes, after it rains the earth does smell very fresh and clean. The flowers scent radiates from its stems and it creates an aroma that is very pleasing to the senses.

I love that smell, it remembers me my childhood, because I grew in a more wet climate. We moved to this city 8 years ago and it´s a dry place. So, what I enjoy is watering my little garden, that remembers my the smell of earth after Rain. It is lovely! The smell is in my tender memories. =) Blessings! Dainy
