Do you like the scent of autumn?

Post Reply New Topic

I love the scents of nature.

Don't get me wrong, I spend HUGE amounts of time outdoors, love the smells outdoors. Hell, it's clean, unlike the cities.

PS; great Buckaroo Bonzai reference

Yes, I can smell water. I can also smell and taste metals. I like a drawer full of silver cutlery, a very interesting smell.

I think it's quite common for NTs to talk about the pleasing smell of autumn. I agree. It's the smell of vegetation dying and drying out, the sugars and volitile essences of its juices ending up in the air, made more precisely detectable by the chill reducing the smell of soil. The plant-notes all sharp and clear, and the water-in-the-air smell likewise. Very nice.

I like spring-smells better. Red willow's particular aspiriny-sweet smell when it first comes back to life. And the spring winds that happen here because of the sunlight heating up the mountainsides miles away, so the wind comes with the smell of aspen trees and sometimes a hint of gentians.

I hate the smell of forest fires. When we had lots a few years ago and the smell of the smoke was constantly coming down off the mountain, it made me very anxious and made other people snippy.

Pernally NO! It makes me depressed and sad. I love the smell of spring and summer best. (No offence if you like the smell of fall. It's just me ^^U)

That and the cool smokey sweat smell at night. It has a comfortable feeling, but not without a tinge of sadness. Winter is my least favorite season, so I get a bit of dread along with it. I like glowing colors but wish they would last longer. I could do without ragweed and the mold though... My allergies tend to flare up really bad in the fall and spring.

Will you all stop it about Autumn . I am an Englishman living in Australia and I miss Autumn so much. The only deciduous trees here are imported and there are not many of them. Autumn is amber, with the crinkle, rustle and compost of leaves. We don't get that here eucalypt's are evergreen.

Of course on the upside we have kick ass beaches

I love the smells of autumn like pumpkin pie and the rain. I also like spring when the days get warmer and I can breathe in the smell of tilled earth when the farmers get ready to plant.

I wouldn't call beaches "kick ass" when you have to share the water not just with killer sharks, but with little tiny killer jellyfish too!

Oh I love the smell of autumn! The smell of the earth, leaves drying. Things are amplified outside because the air pressure changes. Smells more vibrant. Sounds more crisp. And when its autumn I can boil hot water and cinimun sticks on the stove, and bring out my special apple pie candles. Mmmmmm... My birthday is in October.

(I can also smell water, and many things other people say they can't smell at all.)

you forgot about the cone shells, stone fish, not to mention the snakes as you walk down the path to the beach.

Of course you guys are forgetting that Autumn signals the start of winter, you northern hemisphere types can keep your ice storms and snow chains

hey fellow londoner!

Yeha I love the autumn and was thinking the other morning that it is now here and brought a smile to my face. Not sure about smell, I never really noticed it, I just feel autumn.

i love autumn too! the smells, the colors, the breeze in the air. being able to wear a soft sweater again, to cuddle with when you don't have any one, the slight chill in the air that makes you start thinking romantic thoughts, the pumpkin flavored candle, the smell of baking cookies, fresh picked apples, fall does smell so good. i love Autumn too

Scent of a season topic

I suppose some enterprising individual will create a chemical duplicate and it will end up in commercial dryer sheets!! !:lol:

What is it about autumn that's so romantic. Does anyone else get that feeling when the air starts to chill? Do you feel energized? It's a lovely season.

they could never achieve such a feat !
the enterprising corporations of this world are clueless on this that really matter, there hearts are hardened, eyes are close, only there pockets are open in there industrial whoredom.
its more than the smell! you can smell the colors, smell the temperate, smell the feeling of fall.
things seem to slow down, possible taking there clue from the leaves ,sure some times they whirl around in gusts but the slow gentle descent of the one isolate leave,
thats the one to look at, watch it joinery, that's fall, autumn
you can't bottle that!

Candles and autumn go together:) I think I am going to get me some spicy smelling candles in a few. They smell sooooooo good!! !
