Yummy smells~

*Random post ahead, be warned* ;)

For some reason I got to thinking about smells...
There are some smells that I always love to smell and that make me happy in one sense or another.
Here are some of the smells I absolutely love:

♥- Vanilla sugar: My mum uses this every Friday for the pancakes and I can't help smiling when I pick up and smell the paper packets the sugar comes from. =] I have a weak for that smell.

♥- Tea or Perfume stores: Simply heaven, especially when it's cold outside or raining. To enter a store with a flowery or sweet scent makes me feel so happy. =3

♥- Rain on dry earth scent: There's even a noun for that scent; Petrichor. I find it so nice that when on hot summer days it ends with rain, thunder and lightning. Then when that too has passed, to fall asleep with that lovely smell coming from my opened windows. Hmmm ^^

♥- Rose syrup in milk: The scent reminds me of my Chinese grandma. I have no idea why, she may have made the beverage for me a lot when I was little, or she may have worn a perfume with that scent, I can't remember. It's just the scent that brings me happy memories I can't remember x'D If that even makes sense.

♥- Kretek cigarettes: I don't smoke and I would never do that either, but the smell of these Indonesian cigarettes I do love a lot. My grandpa has had a time he liked to smoke these and my dad has also tried these. These cigarettes have herbs in them; clove, which makes them smell good =) However they're still cigarettes, so no good for the lungs and all xP

♥- Various foods. This is a given, but there are some foods I love to smell in particular; my mum's split pea soup, baked leek dish and macaroni. ^^ And BAKING!! =D Especially cookies and cake, or sweet buns from the bakery. x'D I love to smell food~
