None of these smells are particulary lovely in themselves but when they come together, they make me so homesick I nearly get tears in my eyes.flavourfanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696210287179630266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053142505140852136.post-61456723272117493752011-09-10T14:17:30.367+01:002011-09-10T14:17:30.367+01:00Mmmmm, unusual smells, what an invitation!

Now in case that translates badly in any language, let me define party popper! A plastic container with a string, pull the string and masses of paper streamers fly out. There is some sort of mini-explosive device that shoots the streamers far across the room. But leave me the empty plastic cartons with traces of the explosive to smell and I'll be happy for hours.<br /><br />Thank you for letting me confess that!<br />Sally at plushfolly dot comSal - Plush Follyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04329374829373290990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053142505140852136.post-36011352118202098232011-09-10T13:52:56.634+01:002011-09-10T13:52:56.634+01:00Ooh thanks for the tweet -the kids were still off ...Ooh thanks for the tweet -the kids were still off when you posted this and it was one I saved for later...as you do. <br /><br />Odd smells - well the one that comes to mind is cannabis!

And a large part of that weakness is the SMELL of it. Fine sipping tequila smells of the roasted blue agave plant heart (which I LOVE the smell of that component-it's earthy, herbal, fresh , complex-both warm and cool smelling!)But many other smells and flavors are usually in a fine tequila: fruit, smoke, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar,oak, etc. Good example would be Don Julio Tequila- the 1942 is best but even the regular Don Julio anejo or reposada would give you an idea. I'd love to find a wearable scent that would make me smell like a fine tequila. I would also love to win this sample. I've enjoyed reading your evocative scent descriptions.Thank you for blogging them! <br />from S.D. email: serena . d @ embarqmail.comSerena.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986131549798394391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053142505140852136.post-23151404641062354862011-09-05T16:00:03.799+01:002011-09-05T16:00:03.799+01:00Gosh you've made this sound nice!

My fav...I love your ability to describe a perfume!<br /><br />My favourite "unusual" smell would have to be cow pat. I don't like the smell of stale muck spreading (cos that would be weird, obvs!) but fresh cow pat has a real countryside feel about it :) I also quite like the smell of my cat's fur after she's been chilling near the cat mint in the garden, it's right next to the curry plant we have and she smells like a curry!<br /><br />Rebecca :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07875523106081178430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053142505140852136.post-22720588717445452652011-09-03T00:32:38.694+01:002011-09-03T00:32:38.694+01:00I've heard that it's all but impossible to...I've heard that it's all but impossible to accurately describe a scent, but I think you've got it! Haute Claire sounds wonderful.<br /><br />I like quite a few different unusual scents. One of them is the smell of dried shiitake mushrooms -- a savory, rich, wintry smell that I grew up with because my mother often had some soaking in the kitchen. I also like the combination of rain, cherry blossoms, and just a little diesel -- one of my sharpest scent memories from a year in the UK. And one of my favorites, the smell of my cat's fur after she's been lying in the sun all afternoon. <br /><br />ailanna at hotmail dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053142505140852136.post-59702804151504476052011-09-02T06:45:59.439+01:002011-09-02T06:45:59.439+01:00whoops, sorry I forgot to leave my email address!

I was walking around the lake last night and was flooded with all of these memories, from the smell of dead dish.

My all ...Just too add to the eyebrow-raising list:<br /> My all time favourite smell is rain on hot ground - that lovely fresh but warm smell. But my current favourite smell is baby poo - there I said it. But it has to be my breastfed baby's poo - it smells like yogurt - which it kind of is being a fermented milk. And could just be of course that I don't get out much - but hey - it's now out there. <br /><br />I also love fennel, licorice or aniseed.<br /><br />DDJCoolbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823683338464691670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053142505140852136.post-32658753027585540462011-09-01T15:26:43.166+01:002011-09-01T15:26:43.166+01:00WoW! cat pee and petrol!

I also like rubber cement (do you have that in the UK?)! Also the smell of dirt after it rains, but not mud. I hate mud. It has to be just the right kind of earthy smell, once it gets too rainy and gross I'm just cranky and unhappy. It's a delicate balance! Matches are a good one too, and campfires. Or burning paper! I also love the smell of almonds. I keep wanting to drink CND Solar Oil because of the delicious almond smell.<br /><br />And apparently I love the smell of dill pickles because I'm convinced Poivre smells salty. But nobody else agrees!<br /><br />I am really getting into trying perfumes, this would be brilliant! sara @ dailypolish . com<br />xo<br />SaraSara Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115699797752749223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053142505140852136.post-6658530616002078882011-09-01T10:15:30.872+01:002011-09-01T10:15:30.872+01:00I'm very envious of your ability to describe d...I'm very envious of your ability to describe different scents.

I like a few rose + jasmine scents that drydown kind of "urine"-y and there are also honey scents that have a urine vibe to them (though I can't stand Miel des Bois...). We just moved and my cat is having difficulty adjusting and is peeing on the wooden floors in our upstairs hallway. I have to admit it also smells kind of good (not like ammonia at all, more like slightly sweet and floral -- I know, it's weird!)<br /><br />Amy (ahsu78 at gmail dot com)ahsumakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427978699016426860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053142505140852136.post-1017452271358363242011-08-31T23:08:36.537+01:002011-08-31T23:08:36.537+01:00I am so happy I found your blog!
