• Locals burning excess brush in their gardens
• Eucalyptus trees
• Freshly baked bread, or any freshly baked baked-good
• Lavender plants
• .Clean dogs (I’m referring to the way my dogs smell when they are clean, not the shampoo smell on them after a bath)
• Campfire
• . Freshly brewed coffee
• Warm laundry right from the dryer or the scent of dryer vents in winter
• Fresh cut grass
• Nice smelling guy smell
• Oil pastels
• Citrus fruits
• .Faint scent of ocean in the wind
• The smell of sautéed onions and garlic
• Bacon, it reminds me of mornings when I woke up at my grandma’s
• .That time of year when lilacs are in bloom
• The scent of autumn, when the air is crisp and you can feel summer is really over
• .The fresh air after rain
