    Petrichor is the earthy smell that occurs when rain falls on dry soil. The word comes from Greek roots meaning "stone" and a reference to the golden fluid that flows in the veins of immortals in Greek mythology. It is produced when certain chemicals released by plants are absorbed by clay or rocks and evaporated into the air during dry periods are released back into the air when rain falls.
