S | Lavender, cinnamon, freshly-mown grass |
A | Vanilla, old books, new books, “the outdoors” |
B | Garlic, new cars, citrus, crackling firewood, manure* |
C | Glue, bleach, paint, coffee, one’s own body odour |
D | Manure*, wet dogs, other people’s body odour, cannabis, exhaust fumes |
F | Cigarette smoke1, rotten eggs, cat piss, human waste |
* Manure is in a curious superposition where it could probably occupy every tier at once. On one hand, it smells like shit (because it is), but after so long living in the country, i can’t help but find it refreshing to the senses. It’s the smell of having escaped the city — the smell of Demeter!
