Jasmine in a marriage hall.
The combined smell of camphor, agarbathi and flowers in a temple.
Hing in hot ghee.
Wet earth.
Freshly brewed coffee.
8th cross Malleswaram, the day before a festival.
Fragrant shampoo in hair.
Roasted jeera.
Mehendi, after washing the paste off your hands.
A new notebook.
Nail polish.
The combined smell of ghee and elaichi: a sweet in the making, surely!

wow...the words can make so much difference. it just creates a wave of different smells at once.
I am glad that my olfactory senses are still in perfect condition. Working in a indoor environment you can smell only artificially cleaned air with some specific percentage of humidity dust and gases ;)
thank you lady for your post. 'life is beautiful' and you should enjoy it in its natural form.
Thanks Rahul! Most of those wonderful smells I actually miss. Hence the post :)

Yeah Ravi, long time..welcome back! :)
Petrichor hmm? Certainly didn't know a term existed for 'wet earth after rains'. Thanks for that!
And smell of washed & ironed clothes, I missed that, but I love the smell a lot too!
