      It’s a beautiful word, but for someone unfamiliar with the smell I wasn’t sure it was a good word to use.

        I don’t think I have ever spoken to someone who hasn’t experienced the smell of rain on dry soil. Not trying to be rude, or pry too deep, but…uhmmm…how? How have you never smelt that before? It’s so far outside my own personal experience, I just don’t really understand it.

          I meant someone unfamiliar with the word itself. Not trying to make people break out a dictionary.

            Right 👍 gotcha, previous comment sounded like you didn’t know the smell, and so weren’t sure the word was right. Idk. Not enough coffee yet I suppose.
