For the Whovians:
Something something roman centurian something something
Seems like a shot from a Lars von Trier movie
Followed closely by huffing a vaporized ood.
Literally translated as, "stone blood" and one of my favorite words.
Also a character on B. K. Vaughan’s “Saga”.

I wear Thunderstorm by Demeter for this: it’s the closest practical replica I’ve found that lasts more than an hour.
Even then, it’s closer to “inspired by” petrichor than a true replica, but the hint of ozone to invoke a storm on the wind is quite a nice touch.
I once had a petrichor perfume
Amelia Pond?
Pretty sure they already exist
That's the name of my "Animal Crossing" town!
Thanks for the vocab lesson, new word unlocked

Almost every type of Streptomyces releases geosmin when they die. Now your butt can too.
Also the name of the planet in Risk of Rain 2, one more pun on the stack. Also, great game.

For the girl who's tired of waiting :)
