A welcomed relief from prolonged abstinence. A drenching from the sky, an invigoration of wood and earth, asphalt and ash. Awoken, aerated, then released. A eulogy for long hot days broken with weighty rain. Outdoor showers, gardens absorbing a drink. Dormant rock and aching fields entering the ether and resting on skin.

HOW IT WEARS
Notes of deep green rosemary, literally rained upon and softened by infusions of violet, iris and a little bit of cardamom, give this scent a delicious, deep, earthy aroma, a clash of warmth and cool. Petrichor Plains has a deep, long-lasting wear that smoothes and mellows over time on the skin. As an EDP, it will easily last 6 – 8 hours on the skin.
LORE LOVES
We just adore this fragrant ode to a thunderstorm. A sudden thunderstorm in the heat of a Melbourne summer to be precise, but really it could be any city in the world…where fresh rainfall meets hot tar and the deep green of hardy, inner city flora and herb gardens that thrive, sticking out of concrete, tar, bricks, and mortar. The scent of inner-city living, inextricably intwined with the omnipotent force of Nature. Long, hot summers and sweet relief. Simultaneously warm, cool, earthy and divine.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Mihan Aromatics was born through a mutual appreciation for the power of scent and a deep-rooted love of the Australian land. Founded by local Fitzroy couple Josh and Jules in 2017, Mihan Aromatics encapsulates the unique Australian experience. Romantic and nostalgic, genderless and timeless — each aroma conjures heartache, hubris and harmony.
Organic Sugarcane alcohol and Kakadu Plum Seed Oil are the hero ingredients used throughout their collection — a way to showcase high quality, clean Australian native ingredients and deliver fragrance that’s better both for you and the environment.
Each Mihan Aromatics scent is designed, developed, assembled and hand-filled in Melbourne, Australia. All parfums are cruelty free and vegan certified.
At Lore Perfumery we have a special connection to Mihan Aromatics, and particularly to Josh and Jules as one of their first ever stockists. Each scent is inspired by a place in the same suburb both Lore and Mihan are based (Fitzroy!) so they’ll always be particularly close to our hearts.

As the name suggests this airy and rainy little number gets me excited for those summers days broken by rain, creating an eruption of scent. Just like a Melbourne thunderstorm after a warm summer day Petrichor Plains settles into an astonishing scent of watery asphalt, woody parklands hit with rain and delicate throws of an almost herbaceous drink. Petrichor Plains is sure to impress.

This was one of the first perfumes I fell in love with working here. For me the scent evokes a humid summers day in Fitzroy, just after a burst of rain on the hot pavement. The violet and rosemary heart notes are refreshing and remind me of the greenery spread throughout Fitzroy, while the sandalwood in the base is creamy and comforting. It’s a Melbourne thunderstorm in a bottle and a must have in any collection.
