I love the earthy smell, but don't like the word petrichor it sounds so... macabre(?) is that the word I want? Like it should be a dungeons and dragons monster or something. Geosmin is also a part of the earthy smell and that word feels more natural, more connected and huggly. Also, they really missed an opportunity not choosing a palindrome for mirror.
Ah yeah, I suppose I see your point. The "petri" part sounds lovely, but then the "chor" bit I have mixed feelings about. I've never heard of geosmin! I never thought a chemical compound would be describable as "huggly" haha. Also the word was somnamblent! That was the one I couldn't remember! Great word.
