Geosmin

What it smells like

Geosmin is a cool, mineral‑rich earth note that evokes damp soil and the scent after a rain. Initially sharp and almost metallic, it mellows into a softer, wet‑earth aroma that lingers. Perfumers employ it in heart or base layers to add a natural, rain‑soaked depth, often blending it with vetiver, patchouli or green tones to enhance realism in woody, fougère, or aquatic creations.
