Oh. I see what you mean. Right.

I love the smell of old books, those that have been sitting in the attic for years on end.

From the time I was a wee lad I'd take a deep sniff whenever I passed a "dead skunk in the middle of the road" (there's actually a song titled that) and then I found out that I wasn't the only one. I think that there is a place online where you can buy a vial of scent to tote around with you when you need a fix. And I must add that my new word of the day is "fromage". As in famunda fromage sandwiches.

New car smell is okay for a quick whiff, but then gives me a headache. Always liked the smell of markers and roasting garlic (yummy!).
