Think about the power of natural smells. One respondent to a question talked about the smell of autumn leaves (magical) and it got me to thinking of other odors that are able to carry us away. Which natural smells have that power for you?

Fresh mown grass, jasmine, the sea, pine trees at Christmas.
-
Rain in the Spring, smoke from fireplaces in the Winter.
-
The smell of country hams, curring in a smoke house. If this does not make your mouth water, nothing will. Also, homemade buttermilk biscuits baking in the oven.

Babies. Sweetest smell I know. Some hate it, but puppy breath is sweet to me. Clean body odor. Must be the phermones. I am very odor activated. Rain on pavement during a dusty summer. The spicy scent of petunias. Blackberry thickets in late summer. I could go on for days!

candies in general, and these specific ones: tootsie rolls and mary janes. I don't eat either, but the smells make me think of Halloween. Halloween is my very favorite of all holidays. (Even now that I'm too old to trick-or-treat) In nature, I like the smell of the air right before it rains. Here in the south, the air gets thick and muggy and my uncle's knee hurts. I can always smell rain coming - and I look forward to the peaceful sound.

Pine smell in the forest. Ocean air.

Chaps cologne always makes me think of my husband, because it is his favorite cologne.

Night-blooming Jasmine and Hot cement sidewalks when wet with a garden hose. Reminds me of summer as a child when school was out and I felt safe.

The bark of Ponderosa pine trees, mountain air, hydrangeas, lilacs. Is the smell of bread baking a natural smell?

Cornbread cooking, leaves burning, jergen's lotion, the smell of rain in a hot evening rain shower, the perfume windsong because my mother has put it in my christmas stocking since I was a little girl and the scent of bora bora makes me wicked.

Nothing like a mountain forest in my mind. I should move there but what writer (except Stephen King) can afford it?

Cedar chips, pine trees, (yes fall leaves), lilacs and pumpkins burning.
-
Dark, rich soil after it rains

Lemons have a magic smell as well as magic properties. Lemony Snicket thinks so, too! (This is here because I mis-posted a response to someone who answered my question. Age does awful things to the brain. . .)
