: What's your favourite scent? (Ie. Fresh cut grass)

ColorStorm: Freshly cut grass is nice, but it's not my favorite scent. I Reeeeally like French Vanilla perfume (which they don't make anymore), but what I like better is something that I've only smelled a few times in my life that's like French Vanilla perfume, but different..I have NO idea what it is. It smells so good it like infiltrates my brain and makes me instantly high.

Another thing I smelled that was one of the best things I've ever smelled was while walking around my neighborhood, at a random spot on the street it smelled this really strong smell like..ridiculously fertile dirt or something, I'm not even sure. Maybe it was a particular brand of fertilizer. I tried tracing the smell to its source, but to no avail. (I thought it may have been a few potted plants in someone's yard, but even if it was, that doesn't really help me.)

Another one of my absolute all-time favorite smells is the smell of the inside of a Subway restaurant. It must just be the perfect balance of fresh vegetables (and maybe some other things)..

And one more thing, once while I was psychotic (one of the beginning phases of the first time I was ever psychotic), I smelled this smell with my whole body (my therapist called this an "olfactory hallucination"), it was like the purest flower you could imagine, all real-life flowers have like this mixture of smells to me, they're like perfume-y, this is more singular and pure than that. I imagined it to be the smell of a large, cyan-colored, possibly astral, flower. And I likened the smell to "the beginning of the beginning", in contrast to the opposite smell I'd smell alternately, which I likened to "eternity." Eternity was a disgusting smell that smelled like a dying universe, possibly where all souls are starving and trying to eat each other. At the mall I smelled an incense that smelled just like my "eternity" smell, and I knew that if I looked at the name it would be called "eternity." I looked, and it was. But I digress..
