snurf

the aroma in the air following precipitation (rain). Actually caused by
"actinomycetes", which are a type of bacteria that grows in soil when conditions are damp and warm. The bacteria is released when it rains causing the earthy scent.

I love going outside after it has just rained for the snurf.
Snurf in the countryside is very different to snurf in the city.
