A slightly odd one but I love the smell of a 2-stroke petrol engine. It reminds me of summers with my late grandad, helping him with the gardens.

The forest in the Pacific Northwest in the afternoon in summer. Cedar and fir and hemlock mixed with sword fern, salal, wild rose and earth, all heated and mingled. It’s sweet and green and warm.

I loved huffing the neck of my cat (the late, great Petrushka) after he’d been sleeping for awhile. Eau de Chat!

Wild Honeysuckle. It grew along the backyard fence when I was little. I splet in the back bedroom and woke up to that smell wafting in my room every morning when it was growing. I've been growing some in huge pot on my deck for about 10 years now. I scooped the vine out of the curb in my neighborhood. What a delight to the senses!

The perfect salt air at ‘Sconset Beach.
Privet blossoms in May & June.
A perfume that reminds you of someone or something from your past, like the old Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass.
Hyacinths, especially at Easter.
A fresh pine tree. I’ll never understand “pine scent” candles. None comes even remotely close. Why can’t they get that right?
Sunday dinner of leg of lamb, potatoes and onions.
The way lipstick used to smell when they put a scent in it.
Sometimes typically unpleasant smells like cigarette smoke or diesel exhaust or attic mustiness that evoke warm memories.
Just-cut grass.
An old mosquito repellent named “6-12” - have been looking for an old, unopened bottle for 45+ years just to smell it again.
There are so many more, but that’s it for now.

Lavender. I can still remember the time I was driving through Provence. I came over a hill, and the sight made me slowly drift to a stop. From horizon to horizon was freshly blossoming lavender. When I opened the door the scent hypnotized me and pulled me into the field. I will never forget the color, the scent, and the sound of millions of drunken bees.

My Grandma was a master of scents. She grew gardenias and roses, and would float the cut blossoms in little bowls of water around the house. She dried her sheets on a clothes line and would store them with dried lavender from her garden. She cooked amazing Mexican food, full of spices and different kinds of chile peppers. And she always wore the same perfume: L'air du Temps. I loved staying at her house.
