Charles Daley Park in Autumn

In the Air - Our Favourite Smells

In the Air

I came across these Autumn images of Charles Daley Park's weeping willow that sits over the natural lagoon pond.  I realized that Winter doesn't have much mist or fog in the air.  There aren't the smells and scents that there are the rest of the year.

Looking at these images I can smell that Autumn air - moist, peaty, full of fallen leaves.

What are your favourite smells?  What are the nostalgic scents that make us the happiest?  It turns out to be the smells that remind us of home that bring us the most happiness. These are things like freshly washed sheets, cut grass and home baking. Bacon is a high-scorer too.

What about melted chocolate, warm cookies, coffee, lavender, early misty morning, the sea, freshly baked pie, vanilla, rainy day, old books, burning wood, fruity shampoo, new car?  These are some of the top twenty. Now it is your turn to name your favourite smells.
