...what would it be for you?


For me it's the smell of newly sawed wood (birch?) and the smoke of an open fire (campfire?) daydream

I can't answer that, but I wish I could. I do sometimes associate some things with other things, while being completely unaware of any logical connection between them, but I don't think I've ever associated a sensory experience with falling in love.

Does the scent of sawn birchwood have any particular significance to you, Tule, or is it one of those things that just is?

Lavender, summer days, fresh cut grass, long evenings watching sunset on the beach.

Once upon a time... sports lager - youth in different kinds of sport gathered together by the powers in charge for 4 summer weeks. I (14) had a promising start (running short distance), he (15) had a promising push leg (high jump). We had climbed from windows after the "lights out" a couple of... well, a few times, to go to the nearest lake and swim. We could (and did) swim in it at day time, but it wasn't the same.

He was one of the team, that saw and chop the wood for the final camp fire. I was one of the team, that prepared food: cut bread and vegetables, threaded meat on the skewers.

We kissed a few times.

No, nothing significant. Mommy has nothing to worry about :)

I do love marine scents. Iodine, a little shellfish decomposing somewhere nearby, tar warmed by sun... I have no problem to fall in love to it. Where's my Sinbad?

Well... he injured his push knee beyond repair the next winter. And I eventually got spinal cord injury. We become promising-once-upon-a-time and I joint this site. I suspect, there's a lot of my kind.

If it's to any cancellation :)

Not anyone scent in particular. If falling in love was a scent, definitely his natural scent. If I don't fall in love with his scent, if I can't breathe and taste his scent, and breathe his breath when we kiss, then he does not stand a chance as he won't be able to get anywhere near me,. Can't stand aftershave ... laugh

Lilac is timeless and ageless. This is one of few scents I'm going to miss when I've died :)
