e-scentually good

there are some things, that just smell so good: corn freshly shucked, potatoes roasted in campfire coals, carrots fresh from the ground, then washed and stovetop roasted basted with butter and lavender honey. the nape of my toddlers neck, that clean fresh hopeful little boy smell. coffee, straight up, freshly brewed caramel warming, passionfruit, strawberries, citrus any type, zested. freshly planed fennel curls, mint crushed for a mojito, roast lamb and rosemary gravy. the smell of planed wood in the palms of my man's hands as i kiss them. frangipani, coconut tanning oil, earth newly rained upon. popcorn popping, chocolate melting, jasmine, orange blossoms, a grove of pine trees. warm gingerbread and mulled wine. salt tang on the morning breeze. the smell that lingers after the lovin. garlic and ginger in a hot wok. salt tang on the evening breeze. prawns all sea salty and a crisp cold beer. sandlewood and citrus aftershave lotion on your smoothed cheek. nectarines, apricots, a yellow juicy peach, freshly bitten. apple scented shampoo daphne & lilac my nana's smell, bay rum newspaper print and palmolive soap, my pop's study. rose petals crushed. earl grey tea, toast just before burning damper and cocky's joy crisp fresh linen warm from the sun. so many scents, so many smells... these are my favourites please feel free to add your's, as long as it's clean and above board.
