My favorite smell though is lilac.luckyzmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176703683321469118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-40148124820664680252008-03-15T04:19:00.000-08:002008-03-15T04:19:00.000-08:00I love the smell of rosemary too.

I also love the smell of bar soaps and I have to admit I love the smell of permanent markers more than anything. As for flowers, I can't wait for the Lilac bushes to bloom here in Michigan. My childhood home was completely surrounded by wild lilac bushes, pine trees and blackberries. There were days when you could walk outside and feel enveloped by the smell of lilacs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-88917344053515936902008-03-13T19:11:00.000-08:002008-03-13T19:11:00.000-08:00what a fun list. it's amazing how i could almost s...what a fun list. it's amazing how i could almost smell each of these things as i read them....our senses are such amazing things.Phyllis Sommerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654761832717723000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-38524842282212891232008-03-13T18:51:00.000-08:002008-03-13T18:51:00.000-08:00Ok, you had me until #6 & 10.

You got me going right into my favorite smells, many of them tied to some childhood memories: <BR/><BR/>the earth freshly ploughed<BR/>vineyards<BR/>cow manure (yes!)<BR/>straw<BR/>laundry boiling in my grandmother's huge laundry pot<BR/>chicken coop<BR/>my mother's perfume<BR/>fresh paint<BR/>my grandmother's old farmhouse<BR/>mimosa<BR/><BR/>I could go on and on. This is so powerful!<BR/><BR/>My favorite one on your list is the line-dried clothes. This is yet another simple sensual pleasure that has almost disappeared from our daily lives. Thanks for re-introducing it here. Such a treat for children. And so much better for the environment. Dryers are some of the biggest polluters and consume tons of gas and electricity. <BR/><BR/>http://lamarguerite.wordpress.com<BR/>'Green Drop Project'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-64179548960448865942008-03-13T12:56:00.000-08:002008-03-13T12:56:00.000-08:00Eclectic mix of smells and really well described. ...Eclectic mix of smells and really well described.

Also, because the dirt is different in CA than in TX, the smell of potting soil makes me think of the dirt I played in when I was very young. <BR/><BR/>Two of my favorite smells are hard to describe and put a finger on. Near the end of winter, you'll find a day with the first smell of 'spring' in the air. It's still cool, tomorrow could be freezing, but that day there is a breeze blowing in that smells...'warm' and 'green' and promises that spring is coming. I love that smell. Same thing for fall at the end of summer. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this list - it was fun and brought back some memories! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-8001225961544662982008-03-13T10:35:00.000-08:002008-03-13T10:35:00.000-08:00Rosemary's definitely very high on my list too - b...Rosemary's definitely very high on my list too - because it's the smell of lice-free kids! Rosemary oil keeps them away - just a drop or two behind each ear and at the nape of the neck is a very effective preventative. My kids don't leave the house without it, and if lice are going around their class (which happens all too often in this hot climate) then they positively marinate in it LOL.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.com
