Wisteria smells wonderful!

Why didn't anyone ever tell me?

Well, even if anyone had, I'm not sure I would have paid much attention.  Scent is such a personal experience, highly subjective.  If you were to ask me just what is so wonderful about the smell of wisteria, I would be at a loss.  Maybe perfume makers would have the words; I don't.

Most of my favorite fragrances are of the sweet and spicy variety: vanilla, cinnamon, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.  Now I must add wisteria to the list.

How about you?  What are some of your best-loved scents? Let's have an olfactory feast!

The different scents of a lover's skin -- soap-smell, sweat-smell, aroused-smell...

Roses and gardenias and lilacs...

Clean doggie smell...

Garlic...

Roast chicken...

A sweat-soaked bandana (not joking)
Rosemary
Honeysuckle
A certain type of plant that I don't know the name of; it's green I've found them growing near latrines at campsites, I don't know if on purpose; they make the area smell exciting and fresh and invigorating
Cinnamon
A blend of opium (?) and myrrh and vanilla
This perfume my daughter gave me that's called Old Delhi
My long-ago cat Az's fur, which smelled like my long-ago little stuffed lion's mane, which smelled like oranges
