MY FAVOURITE SCENTS
I had a hard time trying to figure out my favourite scent. However, after much introspection I came to the realisation that identifying a particular scent as my favourite would prove to be a difficult task. I decided to take an easier route by mentioning all the scents I love.
Baked Goods
Oh, I love the smell that permeates the air during the baking process. It brings back warm memories of my childhood. It reminds me of the days when my I would aid my mom with baking, especially at Christmas time. Those were fun times and the best part was looking forward to the tasting of the batter on completion of the preparation process.
Fresh Country Air
Now, I do not get to experience this often, so when I do it is an absolute joy. I live in the hustling and bustling city of Kingston (Capital of Jamaica), and you know how heavy the air in the city can be. Therefore, breathing in the fresh country air helps to relieve the stress that comes with living in the city.
Books
There is nothing more amazing than the aroma of books, so intoxicating. Every opportunity I get I will go through my collection of books, or visit the bookstore to get a whiff of that intoxicating scent.
Besides the above, I also enjoy the smell of coconut oil, vanilla essence, and fresh laundry and finally yet importantly, I love the fresh aroma associated with babies.
Well, that’s it for me on my favourite scents. What are yours?

A sniff of books. Yes!! I love going in a bookstore. Especially a used one. Great picks 🙂
coffee brewing, a good Italian sauce simmering, soup simmering, grilling meats. Oh wow now I’m hungry LOL Thanks Nadene
LOL, not my fault. I agree with you on all except for the smell of coffee. I know you probably saying what, how can you not like the smell of coffee? I get it all the time.
I love the smell of baked goods. I just like sweets 🙂 Books do smell wonderful. I lived in the country for a while and can tell you that it doesn’t always smell great. Great post!
Books (of course!), the sea, and the sun on my skin. That sums it up for me 😉
Lovely post, Nadene!
I agree with you for that
Books are a great scent! Nothing like an old library.
I love all of these scents and of course the smell of freshly brewed coffee <3
We are on the same path except for the freshly brewed coffee. 🙂
I can’t believe I missed putting book smell on my list. Good one, Nadene! I love the fresh country air scent. We don’t get it here where I live so much, but just a few minutes to get out of town will give it to me.
I do like the smell of books…
Ack! You reminded me of how much I love the smell of bread and dough! I forgot that one for my post lol

I used to work in a bakery so I agree with you about that baked good smell.
On a great day, you can combine all three by having a picnic in the fresh air with baked goods and a book. Sounds awesome.
Books and baked goods! I agree!
Baked goods are the best smell!!! Fresh country air is another great one.
