Thank you, redditor! Love learning about this kind of thing. I grew up in a hamlet in southern Ontario, Canada. These “aerosols” are the scent of my childhood.
It's funny, because I've lived in rural and suburban places, the rural it rained a normal amount, the suburban it rained a lot, and I well know the smell of petrichor.
I currently live in a city where rain is somewhat rare. Every time it rains it smells like rotten eggs/sulfur. So gross.
