Descriptions
Description
Geosmin is a molecule with a photorealistic scent of fresh, damp soil. It is
produced by cyanobacteria and actinobacteria and released upon the death of
bacteria. The human nose is incredibly sensitive to it. We can detect 0.006
micrograms per liter of water. This means that we would sense one drop poured
into an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
In addition to its obvious use in woody and patchouli accords, Geosmin can be
used in practically any type of composition, adding depth and naturalness to it.
