So this was my first thought on reading the article.

I don't know if it is just that it is an Australian thing, but certainly my friend group would all just say "petrichor" for this scent.

The Australian's who coined the term specifically credited Indian perfumers for their matti ka attar; they had collected and distilled it for centuries before (western?) science investigated.

Like lots of scents, the fresh versus the preserved are different. Petrichor has a sharp ozone smell, that does not persist when preserved, where it ends up with an earthier smell afterwards.
