Petrichor Shawl
pet·ri·chor /ˈpetrīˌkôr/noun
A pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather.
This is a very nice sized triangular shaped shawl that has different textures. The shawl was inspired by the smell of rain, hence the name and the patterns that appear on the ground when the rain starts to fall.
