flowers are pretty but i always notice the way that they smell more than anything. i've heard that some people have this thing called allergies that makes them less enjoyable. maybe i wouldn't like them much then either, because your nose gets all stuff and food doesn't have much taste if you can't smell it.

other things that i like the smell of: grilled meat. even if it's not spiced, it still smells good. fresh cut herbs, because it brings back good memories. coffee, even if i don't think i'll ever like the taste of it. snow - someone once told me that snow doesn't really smell like anything but it does. oh, and babies. babies always smell good, except when they need a diaper change.

what's your favorite smell? is it something just from home or have you found it here too? or maybe there's one that you don't like. those scented candles never really smell like what they say on the jar to me.

and skunks really stink, but i think most people would agree on that.

and gasoline.

( She's very strange. )

leather too.

( Which is easier to understand. )

i don't think they have candles like that though :)

Black coffee, a hard-seared steak on an improvised grill in the middle of nowhere, a good whiskey. Any of those smell better than flowers.

Mileage may vary on baby-smell. Only one I've been around seemed to always need a diaper change.

The forest after it rains. Summer air before a big storm. Winter air after it's snowed.

My favorite smells involve a lot of precipitation.

Cow and buckskin leather, clean cut redwood, rosewood, sandalwood, just to add some non-weather scents.

...I've never smelled a baby.

love the smell of leather. but also thyme, and rosemary, rosewood, sandalwood. reminds me of being a kid.

love the smell of rain, too. and the smell of sand, when it's been baking in the sun for a long time.

whoever told you that snow doesn't smell of anything was a liar.
