Smell You Later

Write about scents you just absolutely love.

I'm not really big on fragrances in general... I don't wear cologne and I rarely pick personal hygiene products based on the nuances of how they smell. Which is not to say that scent doesn't do anything for me... it's just rarely a priority compared to other considerations. That said, there are a few types of smells that I have and probably will always love because they're just so comforting:

          Cedar1
          Cinnamon
          Citrus + Something2
          Cotton / Fresh Linen
          Freshly Baked Bread, Cookies, Brownies, etc.
          Vanilla

Combination scents (and flavors) are something I'm really fond of. Especially in a drink like a tea... I love Republic of Tea products because they have a ton of really interesting combinations that taste delicious. My favorite is probably their Ginger Peach tea, but I've also tried their Blackberry Sage, Cranberry Blood Orange, and Vanilla Almond, among others. But I suppose that's more appealing because of their taste rather than their scent.

Footnotes
1  I might be wrong about this particular scent; there are a couple of woodsy/earthy scents that I really like btu I honestly couldn't tell you the difference between cedar, sandalwood, mahogany, teak, etc.
2  I'm a big fan of combo scents that include a citrus option plus something else. Orange Blossom and Gardenia, Lemon Lavender, Jasmine Lime, etc.
