I Love Smells

I love smells Vicks and lemon comforts me Cinnamon roll and pine cone Remind me of Christmas Smells seduce me, entice me, delight me. I use my sniffer to figure out the world. Old Spice. Hello Daddy. Sweet Honesty. My days of being young and cute. Fresh paint. A new beginning. Varnish. The one dresser I refinished. Gasoline. Vanilla. Caramel. All with their own memories. Parading around in my head, reminding me of days I thought I had lost.

I am the same. Oh how I loved reading “Sweet Honesty” and “Old Spice” and even gasoline. Great one!

I don't like all those scents but love to light candles because I adore smells too... You've inspired me to write a poem about the smells that bring back memories... I hope you don't mind. Love to you, Gina
