Naturals that could also blend well with this is Cypriol/Nagarmotha, Vetiver, Valerian, and Costus/Costausol (synth), and maybe the tiniest touch of Mushroom Abs. Then there's also the premade base/blend / Fragrance Oil from TGSC called Earth that could work all by itself, if you can get it. Terranol (Moss Napthaleneol) (Symrise) (but with less preference than terrasol 50)Īmyl vinyl Carbinol (1-octen-3-ol, Mushroom Alcohol, Matsutakeol) (multiple Mfr's) Terrasol 50 (2-ethyl-fenchol + arbanol) (Bedoukian) So then to work out what might be a dirt/petrichor/clay/earthy scent (and not trying to copy a Mitti), I think it could easily be a blend of the Geosmin as Beasley says, + other choices too, but again, Geosmin can be devilishly difficult to obtain.īut the other materials that I'd work with as well are these: In the Vetiver Mitti, I smell the vetiver more than I do the dirt. In the two sandalwood mitti's I have, I smell the sandalwood in the topnote. I didn't put them on a strip yet, and don't have the time.
It probably takes more intimacy with them to deconstruct them more than I can now. Frankly, when I smell the Mittis that I have, I smell more of the substrate than of the clay/dirt, at least from the bottle. Since Mitti's are a natural, and quite variable material, due to being honorably made by family secret formulations learned over many years. The soil they distill might contain certain roots or a particular strain of bacteria or mycelium. Without Geosmin I would think you could try aging the oil in a clay jar and use patchouli, mushroom and other grasses and roots to get some of that earthy rooty smell going on. "The smell of freshly turned soil is due to metabolic end products called geosmins" I'd venture to guess that Geosmin is probably going to be your best bet in trying to reproduce that smell since actinomyces produces it. Mitti is a traditional Indian attar made by hydro-distilling baked earth into pure sandalwood oil. They smell of loam and have a dusty clay-ish note, also rooty, etc. For years I have wondered what Mitti Attar smells like. Besides that, it is also used as a fragrance, an air freshener, an essential oil and in aromatherapy. I used to use them as a foliar anti-fungal when I grew gardens, they keep mold and mildews at bey. Attar kannauj Making Process Mitti attar can be applied directly as perfume. I know that one of the main soil organisms that gives clay and soil that distinct earthy, dirt, smell is soil borne actinomycetes bacteria. It's possible the clay vessels are used for storing and aging the oils. In the video they are shown making vessels of clay but it isn't clear what they do with them. Looks like Mitti Attar is co distilled with soil, in a clay distillation apparatus. I found a few interesting videos on attar making on youtube.
