My Favourite Smells

Shopping yesterday, I walked past a woman wearing a fragrance that made my nose quiver.  I recognized it as Giorgio, one of the nicest perfumes I have smelled.  That got me pondering other odours I like.  Here we go…lilacs, lily of the valley, Coppertone Suntan Lotion, Noxzema Skin Cleanser, Ivory Dish Soap, Baby’s Own Soap, fresh squeezed limes and grapefruit, roasting turkey, a pot of simmering chili sauce…just to name a few…AND I can remember when I was a kid, plastic.  New dolls always had this funny plastic smell that I loved.  How odd is that?  We sometimes don’t realize what a large part our sense of smell plays in our lives, especially memories.  So go ahead and follow your nose!
