Any perfumes out there that have a similar scent?

Do you mean like petrichor?

Are you craving that smell? If so, worth checking for iron deficiency.

Demeter do one called Petrichor, but I have no idea what it's like.

Rook 'Undergrowth' dries down to that kind of scent, although it's also quite 'spicey' and gave me a headache so I wasn't a huge fan. You can get a sample of it, though.

Petrichor from Demeter/Library of Fragrance is more like wet grass. It's lovely but not sure you'd get the tarmac experience.
Fragrantica gives a lot of votes to Bulgari Black for Men as smelling like wet asphalt.

Yes petrichor is like damp grass/earth after rain

Thank you :) I’ll try these out.

No not craving it. I’ve always loves the smell of rain on hot roads. I grew up in hot country that rains a lot in summer & I’ve recently come back from a city holiday. It was very hot and rained quite a bit and it got me thinking how great if I can find a scent like that.

Not exactly petrichor which is more of fresh earthy scent but a hot wet road or concrete smell. I don’t know how to describe it! Grin

I had a sample of something very expensive that was just like this!

Just dug it out and it's called 'On the Road' by Timothy Han
