TOTD 100208: smell to capture

[Guest guest]

If you could magically capture just one smell, just wave a wand and

you've got the smell as a bottled essence, what would it be? In this

question we might get a bit into the question of " natural " or not. I

can think of many smells which appear to us during the course of our

natural lives that nevertheless stem from the human-made world,

gasoline, an old book, a freshly laundered and starched shirt. Those

of course all count, as much as the ocean breeze, just before a rain,

and a flower garden in bloom.
