Geeli Mitti & First Rain: Why Isak Fragrances Made a Scent Inspired by Rain

The Magic of First Rain  :
There’s nothing more refreshing than the earthy aroma of geeli mitti (wet earth) when the first raindrops touch the ground. This nostalgic scent, also called petrichor, is deeply rooted in Indian memory and culture. At Isak Fragrances, we wanted to capture this first rain fragrance in a bottle, creating a perfume that celebrates nature, nostalgia, and Indian craftsmanship.


Why “Geeli Mitti” is More Than Just a Scent :
For centuries, the smell of wet earth after rain has been cherished in India. It’s calming, grounding, and instantly reminds us of home. Unlike international perfumes that often highlight luxury through celebrity branding, we chose to tell the story of Indian perfumery through rain-inspired scents.

Crafting the First Rain Perfume at Isak :
At Isak Fragrances, we use traditional Deg and Bhapka distillation methods to capture nature’s purest aromas. By blending natural perfume oils, we recreated the first rain fragrance in a way that is alcohol-free, long lasting, and artisanally crafted.

A Fragrance Family Born from Rain : 
“First Rain” isn’t just one perfume — it became a whole family of fragrances:
Forest Rain: fresh, green notes that smell like the woods after rain.
Rainkissed Roses: a romantic twist, roses touched by raindrops.
Lavender Rain: Soothing lavender blended with the freshness of rain.
Each creation stays true to the feeling of rain-inspired perfumes, giving wearers a unique olfactory journey.
