Amy's New Job? [SPOILER]

..."Wet Cat"? I see Wet Cat. And I can't think of a more un-appealing fragrance.
Psssst....Wet Dog would be more unappealing. There's nothing appealing about a wet cat, but, nothing really offensive either. Wet dogs on the other hand can be quite repulsive
I'm assuming this is an image from "Closing Time". From what we know, The Doctor is working in a department store investigating the cybermen or something like that.
We also know that apparently he is much older here, so apparently this is just before he goes to meet everyone in Utah and get killed.

So is petrichor the bad wolf of this season?
Now that The Doctor is working in a department store I wonder if we'll get any reference to Rose and instead of Autons it's Cybermen.
That's not I've read in personal ads and hymns. It seems quite popular.

Poetically, maybe. But not in reality. "Hey baby, you smell like wet dirt and it's totally turning me on." That's not a phrase you hear very often.
But I guess being poetic works well enough. 'Course, I don't know how that counters the fact that the majority of the public has no idea what the word means, nor that the word itself is very alluring (it sounds more like something you'd hear in association with an oil company).

Scottish fever?
Because it's a callback to The Doctor's Wife. And considering the perfume industry was based on a product known as "toilet water", and that most perfumes are named after men (Calvin Klein, for example), couple that with the fact the only people on the planet who would actually know what petrichor is are those who were paying attention during The Doctor's Wife, and fewer still have actually smelled "dust after rain" (I'm 42 and I can't call that to mind) it's as good a name as any. It could smell like daisies as far as anyone knows (unless or until someone does a merchandising tie-in, of course). In fact it's a great name for a perfume, in my opinion. Exactly what fragrance comes to mind when you hear the name "Chanel No. 5"? All I think of is Nos. 1 through 4 must have sucked.

It's an incredible smell, and I can call it to mind just by thinking of it.
It would not, however, make a very interesting perfume. It's far too organic.

Yes, I know.
Sure, if you ignore the fact that "Petrichor" sounds like the name of an oil company more than... well, anything else I can think of. Maybe some kind of ointment medication for Herpes or something.
The word itself is horrible. The definition of the word isn't exactly alluring ("mmm, I love your wet dirt smell, baby"). And even the logo associated with it makes little to no sense.
The only reason its there is a weak link back to the Doctor for the fans. In the "real world" it's lousy.
PetroCorps; bringing you low-cost gas at the pumps this fall.
Not only is it a very pleasant smell, it is commercially available.

No, it's not that pleasant of a smell. Distinctive, sure, but not drop-your-panties wonderful by any stretch of the imagination. I know first hand living in the desert. And even in your link, they don't use that stupid word for it, either as the brand name or in the description. Because it truly is a god-awful word when you're trying to sell a perfume.
