How would this be used in a sentence?
“After the rain ended I walked outside and smelled the pleasant smell that I knew was petrichor.”
… oh, was it supposed to be a good sentence??
The petrichor greeting our noses as we left the shop was the first indication that relief was at hand after the summer’s worst days.
However, this word isn’t in my Webster’s New College Fourth Edition Dictionary (AKA AP secondary bible), so my physical dictionary at work wasn’t useful this time.
