How India's Perfumers Recreate The Smell Of Rain On Earth
The smell of rain hitting earth is called Petrichor. Humans can detect it with the same sensitivity that a shark can detect blood. Likely an evolutionary trait to find water
Petrichor sort of comes from the words petr and ichor, which mean stone and divine blood, respectivelly. Stones' holy blood.
This is the coolest fact I've heard
To smell something it has to reach your nose meaning for a shark to smell a fishes blood from a few miles away the blood has to somehow make it a few miles to his face
@@groovyhoovy2606 And yes, that's how it works for sharks. It can smell just a few molecules of blood
@@aightm8 not that they are attracted to human blood though that’s why I said fish blood
But yeah it’s not like you cut your finger and a shark can smell you instantly
The smell of rain hitting soil is one of the best nostalgic smells of all time

India is one of the most interesting country and it’s blessed by a great geography which has influenced so much of its crafts, culture, art, music and obviously food.
@Anil Exactly!
True, still many don't realise. We have everything from Snow, heavy rain, deserts, mountains, beaches.
Everything

@@Darkstar_Dayne You love that smell of poop dontcha?
@@Darkstar_DayneCan you specify those roads so I can confirm your statement. I don't agree with you but when you talk about india you should be mentioning those areas because in India every state is different everywhere you go you will be experiencing different things there are roads as you mentioned because there are people who can't even afford food for a day so how can they afford a house with a toilet but this things only happen in rural areas where poverty is at highest.
Thank you for making so many topics on India 😊 Many have tried to destroy our culture but they've failed. But the world still has wrong narrative about us. We have a LOT to offer to the world 🙏🏻🇮🇳
Yes honestly American paints a bad picture about India and teaches very little about it but India has such amazing culture and is so beautiful 🙏🏽

@@msdadsfsx are u talking to me?!
@@TuMamaMeLaPelaXD nope it's for pretentious tyson stark
Yeah no that’s not how it works. The fact u think his/appreciation for indian art is as superficial but fail to see urself judging it based on their name, then the only person i see as pretentious is you.
The fact u ignored everything about the history of this country, the countless ppl who contributed to culture and if not , deeply appreciated it but also failed to empathise with the reason of how things came to be and how now india is a cutural hotpot , is quite laughable.
Ur one of those people who will go on an on about the controversy of the name of the country but fail to feel/ see /immerse urself to the culture before is laughable.
About 25 years ago, I met an Indian woman (this was in Europe) she had a market stall, selling only a few things. I bought rose perfume from her for very little and honestly I did not expect much. 25 years later and it was still the most beautiful perfume I have ever smelled. If I used it, my entire house smelt like roses for several days.
This has led me on a quest to rebuy it for more than two decades. Every time I try to buy Indian perfume it is a cheap imitation. Amazon is a dead loss.
These guys need a website.
The smell of rain hitting soil?!!! Goodness me that sounds delightful.
This. They couldn't keep up with demand. Like Starbucks which made everyone become better coffee connoisseurs this company would do the same.
@@rxonmymind8362 Starbucks? Starbucks is terrible..
the smell of tropical rains hitting warm soil really is an unforgettable scent!
Omg! I was literally telling one of my American friends how I miss the smell of rain during monsoon. After a long and hot summer in India, u can smell the rain coming a few days before. The moisture in the air changes. Even the colors of leaves change. And THEN, when the first droplets of that first rain of the season hit the soil, it emits this very distinct and absolutely mesmerizing aroma. I miss it incredibly deeply. 😢
I miss those dragonflies, the clear night skies when u can c deep space basically, because of complete darkness. Now due to the light pollution, u would have to go into a forest just to see the stars.
I miss, a peacock walking around in the backyard. Just nonchalantly. We’d collect those feathers all the time.
The fresh veggies that u can just pick and eat on the go whenever. So healthy, and tasted so much richer and better than the crap in stores. With their dark colors and deep flavors.
So much more. But when he said that they have a perfume that smells like dirt, I literally cried. If u find this business, please post it here. My heart will b extremely grateful for the kindness. Truly.
Btw, rose perfume, the real one is ethereal. So is Sandalwood. But u need the authentic one.

For those who are not aware about Attar, it is like a *perfume without alcohol* but with a stronger scent. You may have seen in the video that people first apply it to their hands instead of clothes, that's because it's main supplement is oil which may leave stains if directly applied. Thus, applying it to the hands and then rubbing the hands on the cloth is preferred.
They did get one fact wrong though, perfumes/fragrance oils were present before Mughals. It was well popular before and and has mentions in Brihat samhita which is written in 6th century.
And it specifically mentions Gandhayukti or sandal which is the same ingredient for attar.
And Mughals said to have been inspired for their fettish towards perfumes from Egyptians.
@@byavarsi Yeah... It is said they were introduced by Persians...
@@deepuyangala464 nope, it is thoroughly mentioned in kam sutra[apart from positions 😅 it also contains many other things use of fragrance is one of them]
Nope. The primary reason to put Attar or itrr on hands or more specifically at the place where our palm joins our hand, is because these including the ones behind our ears are hotspots of our body. They are mildly warmer than the rest of the body.
@@KejriwalBhakt Interesting assessment indeed, that may be the other reason for it which majority of the people are not aware of. ❤️

I am a kannauj born person living in state capital Lucknow. About kannauj it is said that perfume business is so widespread that "if you roam around kannauj's alleys even in drainages you will feel frangrace instead of stink smell". And i literally experienced it. You just walk around some colony where they work in perfumery business, alleys have all that frangrances.
The smell of rain hitting dry earth is called "petrichor". I hope to one day have the experience of smelling this incredibly impressive fragrance.
Come to Southern India and stay for 2weeks from may 24th to june7th to enjoy petrichor

I bought a tiny bottle of Rose oil in a New Delhi market from an old man. It was not expensive at all. OMG I have not come across that kind of potent oil, Just one or two drops lasted the whole day. Any drop on my dress lasted till it was washed. I used it for about 4-5 months and I have promised to go back to the market and buy as many as I see. I have not been back since 2012. Incredible. The old man told me I would return but I was not so sure then.
Hiii, Delhi where exactly it was ? Please let me know
Tbh, this type of ancient perfume should worth way more than any modern era western perfume. Sincerely hope that this wisdom and technique can be preserved for future generations
I must say the smell of rain in India throughout the monsoon is divine. Can't get the rain and the smell of hot chai/filter coffee anywhere else.
@Yalda Ugle well seems like all indians live on the banks of the ganga according to you. I have been to haridwar and the blue water of the ganga prolly rains down your biased trolls.
@Yalda Ugle bro you don't live near any river, you and your ancestors were a desert religion cult who came to other countries searching for water.😂India has many rivers. Your ancestors had none so they'll be fine drinking some prophets piss and dirty ganga water. Don't worry ganga water is not haram in your religion Pisslam. Alla hu uber. Peace
@Yalda Ugle not just by the river. Their streets too. Everything is a public bathroom. I imagine *some* parts are cleaner though, like maybe deep in the forest. Yea deep in the forest probably smells ok.

Business Insider has shown more Indian arts and crafts then our own media in India.
Use it once and the fragrance lasts for at least ten or twelve days. Not like cheap scents which lasts only for one or two hours and hits the nose with smell like burning tyre.
Agreed
Exactly😂
Will it stay after washing clothes and taking bath,too
That is why it is very important to choose ittar wisely, otherwise one will have to stay with it for a very long time.
@@beyblade3331 ... Yes. The smell remains even after washing. But not as strong as before washing.

Perfume oils are much nicer than alcohol based perfumes. Alcohol has a sharper smell... Oils are softer more natural and pleasant +very long lasting
This time when i went to India, I bought attar myself and I get so many compliments whenever i wear it. I prefer attar over western perfumes, as it is free of chemical and 1 dab lasts for 3 days and it the fragrance keeps changing. That's the reason I want to travel to kannauj, and if possible we should support these people.
The smell of rain on earth is called “petrichor” and it smells so fresh and sweet and raw and just beautiful.
Yes omg!
technically that’s the smell of rain after a period of warm, dry weather (i believe)
not on cities
Its good to see people keeping these ancient techniques of perfume making alive
It’s bacteria btw that you smell
Honestly, Attar is more economical in long run as it's very strong and long lasting, not to mention it is alcohol free. One small bottle of attar will last years.
True for sure...
@@aryamadamwar4820 where to buy authentic ones
@@chrolloiscominginsideme188 Visit a Muslim area near you, they'll have perfume shops, there you can find all kinds of attar, some domestic some imported.
Which is why it probably isnt gonna last, as strong and long lasting is the exactly the opposite of what corpoworld needs to profit.
@@chrolloiscominginsideme188 if you're in Delhi, visit Red Fort's Chatta Chowk Bazaar or Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi. But I'll personally recommend a Janpath Market Shop, if you'll take a metro then get down at Janpath station, (gate no. 2 if I'm not wrong), the market begins from there, 4-5 shops down is a shop of Attar and perfumes. You'll get small bottle for 500 bucks there. Hope this helps.
the perfume i'm currently wearing has real rose attar from India as a base note. i feel honored to get to experience its aromatic beauty, especially after watching this video

Miguel Alvarez people are becoming more self conscious over big pharma and all the processed foods and hazardous chemicals as well. There’s gonna be a push to more nature oriented products, but that’s when people need to pay more attention as the western corporations love to greenwash shit as a slight of hand for the profits

Do you know that cooking using woods is the most delicious way for food, than cooking in electric or gas stove. The old school way is process of hardwork and love what u do. The same as traditional way process of making of perfume.

they are very popular and authentic and serve to elite class in the world dont judge from their labour or dressing. they are pioneers in this business and art.
They might be pioneers but as they said, 80% of the perfume distilleries have gone out of business. It is sad that business men still have failed to recognize the internet as a new tool and way of doing business. Trade via internet does not have to replace the old commerce but it absolutely will be beneficial when added to it.

Chanel also doesn't use synthetic perfume oils, there's a few brands I think
@@gideonkloosterman Chanel smells like old lady from the 50s
@@gideonkloosterman I don't know about Chanel but these "attars" I actively use them and they have been by far the best option in every way. Because it's oil based I also put some on wet hair and my hair smells divine and it lasts longer unlike perfumes which the maximum they last is one hour. Also it's about quality I'll always prefer attars over perfumes. Perfumes are far more expensive and is nowhere near what these are.
That's my personal experience though.
It really does go a long way . I had one tiny oud attar and I'm using it for a few years . It needs barely a drop to smell fragrant all day long .
I really hope artisan products like this will manage to thrive into the future.
@Miles Doyle tell me more..
I doubt so
Unfortunately, as we can see. This business is not making as much money, because no one is buying from them. 80% of these shops are closed down, and that's because it's a lot of work but no profit is coming from their hardwork.. They even stated most Indians outside this village buy western perfume. I'm pretty sure they speak off Victoria secret, Channel..etc..
Rain on dry land smells like life.

I am in a cold wet country now and miss that smell as the land is never that dry for rain to make that 'smell of life'.. choices right, you can never have everything.

There are perfumes that smell like the rain already. Petrichor is used as a component in perfumes because it can be synthesized. That said, the difference here is that these oils are pure single-essence perfumes. While a Western perfume may smell like, I dunno, cherry blossoms in the rain with a bit of orange blossom thrown in, these attar are often used in pure forms - pure rose, pure rain etc.

Thank you very much for supplying me a new information that Kanauj is known for this attar.All your reports give new information to even people living nearby to the places under discussion.Thanks from Kerala - a place far away from Kanauj.
I hate perfume with alcohol or synthetic scents. This would be divine to have though.
This really seems like something they should advertise and sell online. A lot of people would probably like this.
Let me know if you guys need it. I am from india and i can ship that for you!!
I hope they manage to sustain this art forever so that I can smell it myself😭
People just need to know about it and interest them to buy more. I hope this video did it
Where can I buy this perfume? I want to smell like this before I die.
You have to come to India unfortunately. You can find some online but they may be fake
Rajeev Shukla what’s the name of the fragrance? attar ... ?
@@kbii_ ... Attar means perfume. There are many type of perfume.
You are welcome to India and visit the birthplace of pure perfume manufacturing ,it's called kannauj near Kanpur .. visit the place ,before it's too late the tradition of this scale of manufacturing is disappearing as you might have seen in thr video .
@@kbii_ mitti attar? Thats what i heard
SMELL is a word , PERFUME ia a litrature ✨
Love from KANNAUJ 🥰
Oh my days. One of my favourite smells I never knew they made a perfume of it!
Correction: Distillation was not brought by Mughal.
Condensation is already a process in Indus scriptures.
Exactly! The practice of distillation of alcohol originated in India around the time of Christ!
@@jarjarbinks3193 Distilled alcohol was in the Middle East even before 'Christ'!
Brah distillation was invented by middle east people....there aint even an opinion of sort theres evidence
@@savepalestineuyghurs7735 Distillation was around, but not for alcohol.
@@suriyanikkaran Distillation was around, but not for alcohol.
6:00 Ugh... right when some of us are finding out this old school natural stuff is far better. Now the market has shifted away from them making it a dying art. GOD i hate hearing stuff like that. id love to tour one of these places and take in the aromas.
I am from Kannauj and i love the streets of kannauj, the Attar smell when you travel near Suraj Sweets❤️
When the drop of water touches the soil ouff 😍.This is the power of India. Proud to be an Indian.From Bangalore 😍
Kannauj used to be one of the most wealthiest and important cities of India and the World. It was built as a capital for Emperor Harshavardhana in the 7th century. Following the collapse of his empire, three powerful empires (Pratiharas of Western India, Palas of Eastern India and Rashtrakutas of Southern India) all battled to control this prestigious city over three hundred years.
Wealthiest city? 🤣 In Endia the only thing we invent is poverty and slums

I hope the young gen inclines more to using perfumes as such and we can still keep this alive for coming years too
What a beautiful intriguing process. I’m floored. How amazing is this perfume making process. Wow
I do export these perfumes on-demand to the USA Market.
Wow it's amazing, and the process it have the great amount of hard work and dedication.😊😊😊😊
I'd buy this any day over western perfumes.
Ittar is real perfume.
I would move into the wilderness any day away from the industrial world, period, if the human population density is low enough.
It's ittar not attar
इतर
@@tanvikashyap3344 My bad, thank you for correcting me 😊 I'll change it now, but for those seeing my comment later, I wrote 'attar' instead of 'ittar'.
@@ts4686 it's ok 😀
The smell of rain hitting soil is called "Petrichor" FYI.
I was wondering if they were going to say that in the video after I saw the title.
My name is petrichor lmao
Did you come to know about petrichor from The English Nut channel?
@@Sonali-bn8xd i got to know about the name from the english band 'The 1975', hehe.
Thank you, Doctor Who!
Thank you so much for such a video . Keep it up😊
Absolutely PHENOMENAL!! I love this so much!!! :)
i used an attar on my dress, after several washes still the scent is there and smell is really good.

I live in India but yet I didn't know that this scent is available..... Whenever it rains here I run outside just to smell the scent of damp soil...... I would love to have it 😍
You can buy it from a cosmetic store or a florist near temples.
@@siddharthaxX only if it was available where I live
@@vidhisuthar2312 you live on North Sentinel islands?
@@siddharthaxX I live in that part of India where this *particular* smell is not available in stores neither in carts near temples .
Ancient Indian Civilization was great in many ways. They were able to record the smell.
These processes are too environmental friendly, sustainable and Godly. ✨✨
I have always wanted to know, how they are made( in my own country), glad this video came into my suggestion.
Westerns: Indian attar is the best!
Indian youth: Axe effect 🤩

Growing up in India , I still remember my mum’s ittar, I have never found a perfume so nice and potent ! 2 drops are enough unfortunately I moved to usa and the western perfumes are literally mediocre in front of an ittar
The presentation and the style of the halal perfume bottles are luxurious and the smells that are created are unmatched and have alot of health benefits for the skin
halal perfume bottles? Do you mean persian style or do you mean halal. as a muslim im very confused LMAO
Beautiful Craft.
That first mosoon drops on a parched thirsty earth after the Indian summer back in my Kerala village is something that I yearn for every year coz it's so heavenly and it brings back childhood memories ❤️❤️❤️

Stereotypes r there for business actually... Like how can u buy and sell arms if u don't have enemy and sense of being superior ..
Oh i wish they have their own website that shipping for international. That would be amazing! 😊
Rain is my all te favorite smell EVER! I need some of this. Every candle or spray I get I'm searching for either rain or forest.
About a decade of time ago I bought this perfume out of skepticism because it smelled so invigorating. Now there is no smell like it. No where. I've been saving up to go back and buy some more. The smell is like a legendary item type of smell. Your dopamine neurons will be flooded with just a whiff of smell.
Is it not available online?
Where can you buy it, hello
@@poppyseed1058 There are many shops on Etsy that sell it, that's where I bought some. Most sell small 1g samples so you know what you are getting before dropping serious cash on it. Make sure to read reviews and only buy from a shop with a high rating above 4.5 stars. Attar is the type of perfume but there are many different formulations that all smell different. The one that smells like fresh rain on earth is called "mitti attar" or petrichor oil.
I do export these perfumes on-demand to the USA Market.
