rain is a popular answer
Gingerbread, freshly cut trees, baby hair. And, for some reason, cilantro is weirding me out but I can't stop sniffing.
In no particular order (and I may come back with more):
Hickory nut rind, itβs the smell of the forest for me (other good ones are sweetgum leaf and tulip poplar leaf)
Woodsmoke
Good fresh coffee
Cedarwood
Amber
Myrrh
Osmanthus
Bison grass
Rose and peony
Clove
Cardamom
All the citruses and their flowers
Sunflower
Hazelnut
Almond
Tomato leaf
Rosemary
Star jasmine
Jasmine
Gardenia
Jujube flower
Honey locust pod and flower
American persimmon fruit
Good vanilla
Leather
Clay and glaze tend to have a subtle particular smell (not reclaim, which is stinky, but the fresh stuff)
this is like a scavenger hunt list for smells, i have my next mission...find all these and sniff them. i am saving this beautiful and thoughtful list, thank you for sharing
How could I not list tea? π€¦ββοΈ
REALLY good black, green, and oolong teas.
Some oolongs could be perfumes in their own rights.
Also
Narcissus / daffodil and Carolina Jessamine (unrelated but smell similar to each other)
Probably lotus flower (never actually smelled one, but some lotus scented teas are beautiful. Others smell awful. Idk what that deal is)
