It is Spring and there are a million things blooming…a million scents in the air. So it only seems natural that I would start thinking about scents I like and scents I don’t. I decided to grace you with a list of scents I like.
1. Baking cookies
2. Laundry right out of the dryer
3. Potpourried carpets
4. The smell of the air near the sea
5. Fresh cut cedar
6. Fresh baked bread
7. Cooking hamburgers
8. Willow trees
9. Sweat and perfume
10. Shampooed hair when someone tosses their hair
11. Leather
12. The smell of the air during or right after a lightning storm
13. Matches right after they are blown out
14. Bacon
15. Cinnamon buns
I would be curious to know what turns on other people’s olfactory mechanisms. So, post a comment and share what scents you like.

The smell of the air right before and assuredly right after a summer rain storm.
Vanilla beans and right before you toss vanilla into a recipe.
Old Spice, the original, deodorant.
Magnolia trees in bloom.
I'm very fond of the smell of work, you know, not the stink but of being out in the sun and a faint musk of rich soil and sweat all combined.

That is what I meant by sweat and perfume. The intermingling of that faint smell of sweat when it is fresh and still moist and the fading traces of perfume that waft off a woman's neck. My wife smells like this right after she finishes running around or cleaning the house, and it is positively intoxicating.

Other good smells...
~ The smell of a fire on a cold winter day (we don't get much of that around here)
~ Honeysuckle
~ Plumeria
~ Teriyaki
~ Fresh-cut grass
~ Chlorine (I know that's weird, but it just reminds me of summertime and high school)
I like the smell of Chinese food, even if I don't like to eat it. I like driving around in the parking lot out front of T. Jin's Chinese restaurant.
