Since this is a summer of nostalgia for me, I thought I'd include my favorite summer senses.
Here is the summer smell list:
1. Suntan lotion. I love the smell of suntan lotion. It's so calming to me.
2. Pina coladas. These cover smell and taste!
3. Our neighbor's grill. I don't know what he uses but when this man grills, it's HEAVENLY! What's your secret, Joe? Tell!
4. Noxzema. While I don't use this product, I have been known to buy a small jar just for the memories its odor evokes.
5. Impending rain. It smells so fresh and clean in the summer.
6. Freshly mowed grass. Even though it makes me sneeze and my eyes water, I still appreciate the freshness of it's smell.
7. The sea air. We're only three miles from the beach and the smell of the ocean air has gotten in my blood. I can't imagine not having that smell every single day.
8. Wisteria. The smell is just right. Not overpowering and not too sweet. AND, a little bit of it doesn't make my allergies go nuts.
9. Honeysuckle! LOVE that smell! We had some in our backyard when I was a kid and I loved picking the blossoms and sucking out the sweet nectar.
10. Pools. Yep, I love the smell of a pool. Even though it makes my eyes water. LOL It reminds me of summer and the fun we kids had at the neighborhood pool every summer.
What smells are on your summer smell list?
Stayed tuned for my favorite summer tastes, sounds, sights and sensations!
