Do you like the smell of rain?

I've been using these rain scented laundry detergent sheets. They get your clothes so clean and smell amazing. It's nice not carrying around a jug of liquid and making a mess. You just break it in half, and then place it directly in the washing drum. I think I'm gonna use these permanently moving forward

Yes! 👍

I like it so so

Not my thing

If your clothes aren't stained it's worth running the washing machine without any detergent. There's enough residue in the fabric from the last wash to clean again.

Rain doesn't smell, it just kicks up what's in the vicinity. Around here that's mostly vegetation but if it hits soil the bacteria releases geosmin, apparently humans are very good at detecting it for some reason. It's possible we like the smell of rain because we evolved in arid areas and it helps us find food

It rains quite often in the uk, doesn't it?

[purplepoppy]

Yes particularly from now until May, especially in the west. We can go weeks without seeing the sun and that's no joke

That's the type of weather I love. Same where I live, in Oregon. It's pretty much non stop rain from October through April. If it's not raining, it's cloudy and gloomy lol

Lol it smells like nothing to me, I have never understood what people mean by ''smell of rain''.

Maybe it's just me...

Pure rainwater itself has no smell lol, but many things are rain scented. It is typically notes like petrichor, ozone, moss. I like it a lot 🙂

I absolutely love it like I love walking under the rain without an umbrella. There's something about just allowing the water to hit my skin. It's relaxing, soothing and rejuvenating even if others would call me crazy.

As to the scent of real rain, it would depend on where it's falling. I imagine it wouldn't smell so great in Hotan, China, the most air polluted city on the planet! LOL

Rain here smells like dirty asphalt for the first hour. Then it smells like nothing. The “rain smell” is ozone generated from the electricity in the air

Oh yeah and wet plant smells

[Staximus]

Wet dirt
