It is like an ancient memory, a mitochondrial olfactory memory that we all share from our common histories, passed down from our ancestral gene pool... this fragrance that we all love but have no name for.

There is a name, a series of sounds that we can utter to express a common experience. The smell of rain on dry earth is called petrichor.
Riders on the Storm: I love the sound of rain and thunder at the beginning and then throughout this song. If this song comes on the radio when I am driving and it is raining, it is a magical feeling..I ignore the sinister aspects of the song and the stories about it...
