Oil that smells like London Plane Trees?

Recommended Posts

I am a huge fan of the smell of a London Plane Tree just after a rain. It is the smell of Hampstead Heath (North London) for me, and also every university campus I've ever stepped foot on, since campuses often plant the hardy and pollution-resistant London Plane along their walkways and streets.

 

London Plane Trees are true Londoners; they are a hybrid of the Oriental Plane (from whom it gets its characteristic scent) and the American Sycamore, two trees from different parts of the world who met in a garden in Vauxhall in the 17th century. I think they're beautiful and the smell of them after a rain is absolutely magical.

 

Anyone else know this smell? Is there a BPAL that smells like it?
