Smells


as a foreigner to odors, scents, and any smells, It's been an investigation learning about odors.

1. New car smell? yes, it exists. Pleasant odor? Nope. been in at least 3 new cars, one of which I've been driving for a year. Just realized new car smell isn't good. New cars smell like carpets. Carpets.... i can only imagine it's bad from the sounds of it, and the only thing I can think of is a damp or wet carpet because it apparently soft linens smell good, meaning dry smells are good. So damp carpet... from what I gather with touch, it's.... i can only descibe as damp lingering.... I don't know.

scents are only nice for awhile because you grow accustomed and then temporarily immune to the smell, like sitting in a warm room and not realizing it's warm until you leave and come back.

Smells are weird.

Vinegar's the closest I've gotten, as far as smells go. It makes my sinuses tingly, which I assume is the sweet acid vapors drifting in my nose. Aside from that... nothing.

Dung? I'll say is acrid. how do I know? well, from cartoon it has sickly vapors hazardously rising up in predatorically slow motion. Dung is mushy and I'm taking an educated guess to say it's a base. I'm saying it's like the humid air - thick and sticks to you. it sits and sickly sweet. not sickly sweet like it's 100% sweet odors, and it's just overwhelming like when walking into a bath and body works. No I'm saying it's sickly sweet as in..... i don'y know. It's more sickly than it is sweet.

Sickly sweet, I can only image that's like a man made syrup that so thick with taste it's layer upon layer upon layer of sweet stuff and it's so thick that when you try to pour it it basically sits there. it's dark red, beautiful but horrid.

Most thing I just think of as bad or acrid or something will be in my mind, "musty." Where air just sits and it's not thick but it's enough to open your sinuses and sting a bit or.... more acid than vinegar... or just... i hate not knowing. I only know from information I gather from sight, touch, and taste.

AHHHH!!! Why the hell can't I smell? I want to smell all this!!! it's like eating 24/7 but with your nose and not your taste buds.

Sounds beautiful to be able to smell and now that I'm more aware of how many things emit odors, and how crazy attractive cologne is, I WANT TO SMELL EVERYTHING!!!

Literally, if I were to go up in heaven, I'd want a world of odors. Trees. Rain. Flowers. fresh air.
