Запах
Докладно
Цікавий факт
The 'petrich or' smell -- the particular scent of rain on dry earth -- is caused by a combination of geosmin (produced by soil bacteria), ozone, and plant oils released from dried vegetation. Humus Ether captures this atmospheric blend in a single molecule.

У парфумерії
Humus Ether functions as a trace modifier and naturalizer. Used at very low concentrations (0.01-0.5%) to add earthy, petrichor-like naturalness to floral, green, woody, and mossy compositions. Particularly effective in forest accords and rain-themed fragrances. Its stability makes it suitable for even aggressive media like acidic cleaners and antiperspirants.
