Ahh, sweet smells. You know, the ones that instantly transport you to a time, or place, or just to blissful smiles. Bread baking, sweet peas and lavender blooming, newly mown grass, lemon blossoms, freshly ground coffee beans, skin that's been in the sun...you have a list of your own I'm sure. One of my very favorites is the smell of sheets that have been hung on the clothesline to dry. Sometimes I bury my face in them as I take them off the line and take a long, sweet whiff. They smell so fresh and sun-filled. Climbing into bed with line-dried sheets is truly olfactory heaven. One can't help but have sweet dreams.
You know, you always make room for your reader in these posts, and "skin that's been in the sun" got me started. MMMM...thanks for starting that train of thought.
