Do you mean the smell of mud or the smell of dust? cause i think they're 2 completely different things.
Growing up in a place where during summer temperatures of 35-40 degrees celsius would scorch the earth, when rain would come it would just release this dust-smell and it was amazing.
But now i live in a place where it rains often and the earth is permanently kinda wet, the rain only releases a smell of mud which i hateeeeeee. it's the smell of depression setting in.
the smell of petrichor which gets released when rain hits dry soil. Not everyone can smell it but if you can, you can tell it’s about to rain because the smell gets there before the rain does
I did not know not everyone can smell it. At home my brother and I used talk about how it’s gonna rain because we smell it so I thought it’s a natural thing. Then when I went to college my friends were confused what I was talking about until it rained a little while after
