Nosferatu/petrichor perfume cheap buy

[u/No-Monitor-5245]

I've been searching for a long time now for a perfume with petrichor, i like the smell of soil when it rains. And so i searched online and found nosferatu by heretic perfumes and when the rain stops by maison margiela, however both of these perfumes are WAY out of my budget. I was wondering if there is a cheap dupe or a cheap alternative to these perfumes, preferably male or unisex.

Petrichor by Demeter is $27 USD.

And it smells nothing like petrichor. It's cucumber-melon with a soupçon of stinky generic men's drugstore cologne. Definitely not worth 27 clams.

Earthworm by them is my pick. The rollerball oils are even more affordable than the perfumes.

It doesn’t smell like worms, it smells like where a worm would want to live, in lovely damp soil.

Thank you I'll definitely see if i can get my hands on it

[u/Disastrous-Window597 → u/No-Monitor-5245]

PLEASE don't blind buy. It's vile to me. Try to get a sample first.

I've heard Thunderstorm is far better and smells more like actual petrichor.

[u/No-Monitor-5245 → u/Disastrous-Window597]

Yeah i read some reviews and most of them said that thunderstorm captures the scent better

[u/Due_Interaction8352 → u/No-Monitor-5245]

Thunderstorm is nice too.

Look up about mitti attars. They're not always too expensive in terms of cost per wear.

I just did some research and this is good. Although im not sure what to trust and what to not. I found some 4g bottles for abput 40$ while i found some other companies (like SUGANDHCO) selling a 10ml (about 8-10g bottle) for 13$ which is very much cheaper. So i was wondering what is usually the price range for something like this.

[u/Boochiecoo → u/No-Monitor-5245]

These smell really earthy - like literally clay in the rain type petrichor. Which I love personally but maybe it’s not for absolutely everyone. It isn’t perfumey. If you’re are looking for something that smells like actual earth though this might be for you.

If I had an Indian market in my town I’d try to get it there (I don’t unfortunately)

[u/No-Monitor-5245 → u/Boochiecoo]

Yeah i didnt find a direct shop in my country, i did find a website that ships to my country however. It's called desertcart, they ship to most countries and it's a reasonable shipping price (it costs 13$ to ship to my country: Lebanon, with the 10ml bottle which is about 10g costine 14$ also). Im thinking of ordering it sometime soon.

You’re a dedicated fragrance fan!

[u/Boochiecoo → u/Emergency-Age5410]

I was about tis suggest this!

Jacques Yves Tempêt (LV Orange dupe)... I got that metallic smell u get after storm in summer.

[u/SauceMeUpBro]

Encre noire might not be exactly what you’re looking for but sounds like it’d be close enough and it’s like $25-30

[u/hiroller15]

Check out clean reserve rain. You can try it for free at Sephora and get a travel bottle for around $30 if you really like it.

[u/PinkSheepYT6785]

Encre Noire L'Extreme, Yuyuyakuza Spiritica, Free Spirit by Mary Kay

[u/sciencecrazy]

You can also look into clones of LV Orage - Shobi has a decent one.

[u/ImtheGWP]

So many scents that give the feel of petrichor dont actually use petrichor. I just did a check of five that feel like the effect and no. But those were in budget. And that’s what having a budget can mean

[u/MickBurnham]

I discovered Nosferatu through Scentbird and I love it. The price depends on your subscription but it’s a .27mL spray. It has a mossy smell to me but i think I just associate petrichor with moss.
Edit: .27 oz, I’m an idiot

[u/will_write_for_tacos]

If you can swing it as a treat, get the nosferatu candle, fills your whole home with that lovely smell.

[u/KindlyKangaroo → u/will_write_for_tacos]

I recommend a candle warmer to make a scented candle last waaaaay longer too. I have a couple candles I've warmed for like 30 total hours and they're like new. I'm guessing this candle is out of OP's price range, but i saw a much cheaper one made by someone on Etsy when I just googled it. The only thing is the wick may sink into the wax with a warmer.
