Mine is lilacs, because there was a lilac bush at the bus stop that I used to wait at with my mom when I was a kid, it was my school bus stop and the public bus stop so we spent a lot of time on that corner and now when I smell lilacs I just immediately feel like a kid again.
My wife’s soap.
Every time she comes out of the shower I want to pounce on her. I often grab her while sitting for a hug and plant my face in her tummy. Getting a good whiff.
Oddly enough she uses fragrance free soap so maybe it’s just her natural scent. Haha.
Rain. Or, rather, the sweet earthy smell of wet moss or grass and decomposition and the rest of it that is far beyond any human descriptions and impossible to even approach with words 🥹
Combined with the sound, it’s the most divine state a world can exist in, period.
That’s a really nice memory. I also remember how the bushes would smell from when I was a kid in the garden.
Now my favourite smell is my wife, and I bet some of yours will now also be, “this guys wife”.
I thought this guy’s wife was a bit gamey, I actually prefer the fruity smell yours has,
Petrichor
I just Love it.
Sunscreen and fresh cut grass. Reminds me of carefree days as a kid where everything was possible
