Scent

This Christmas was a blast. This was my first Christmas with my new wife Emma. There was a few very simple things this Christmas that made it all the better. We busted out the old record player and cranked up some good ol Nat King Cole, Mormon Tab, and some new favorites (James Taylor, John Mayer). There is one thing I was very set on, and that was buying a fresh green smelly Christmas tree. One of my favorite things to do is vacuum up the needles. This was my task every year, and so naturally that scent brings back fond memories. That smell of fresh pine was my favorite.


I started thinking about what other scents that brought back found memory's. I remember when I used to mow my parents lawn, we had a big patch of mint leaves that grew on the side of our house. I used to love just mowing over the leaves and get a huge wiff of fresh mint.


I have always been keen to different smells. These are just two of the simple scents that I have always loved and are associated with happy times in my life.
