Perfume...

I love scented lotions & body sprays. I try not to be one of those people who stink up a place long after they leave. Some perfumes do not like me for one reason or another.
I tend to be a very scent oriented person. I can smell something and it reminds me of vacation, or a certain place.

When I smell chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the oven, I think of my high school cafeteria. Every day at a little past ten in the morning, a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies came out of the oven.

Some perfumes make me think of who bought it for me. Sometimes if I am thinking of someone, I’ll wear the perfume, or lotions that person gave to me.

Today, it was kind of gray out, so I wore my pink hoodie and pulled out a fruity perfume, I had bought while on vacation. The mist fell on me and for a brief moment, I was on a beach soaking up the sun. All day, I have felt energized with the smell of vacation.

When I smell warm potatoes and eggs, I think of breakfast at my residence dining hall. When I smell a lilac scent I think of my residence room.

A smell, good or bad, can take you anywhere. I love the smell of warm maple syrup in the winter. It makes me think of class trips to the maple syrup farm. Even on a dark winter day, a good smell can make your day.
