sniff sniff...

My sense of smell is acutely strong...I think. I mean, how in the world is such a thing measured? Who knows...but, here are a few of my most favorite scents:


perfume: elizabethW Sweet Tea.
I found this is in a little boutique several years ago. When I ran out, said boutique wasn't carrying it anymore. So, I order it now. I'll admit...I picked it up because of the name, thinking of course, "What in the world does sweet tea smell like?" Glorious, let me tell you. So...it's my perfume. Indeed, I aspire to be like the description of the perfume, which is: "gracious, spirited, elegant. An enticing marriage of oriental black teas, juicy fresh Amalfi lemons, and the sweetness of almond honey." Well...except for the black tea part...


candle: Votivo, Red Currant.
Again, boutique find. Fortunately, said store still carries line. AND...just the other day I discovered they're now carrying a travel version of the candle. Just in time for our trip to the beach!


Summer night air.
Come on...you can smell it, so, no need for the scratch-n-sniff picture. I gladly volunteer to take Scout out for his evening jaunt so I can take as many deep breaths of that muggy yet magnificent scent. I'm pretty sure I love this smell as much for all the memories it makes me think about. But also, there's just something about the smell that makes me think about all the fun shenanigans one can get into on perfect summer nights...
