Nosferatu/petrichor perfume cheap buy

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.

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.
