    Alfalfa. I even have scents made after it, which has led many to suggest I’m taking my role as a rural woman too far.

      Fresh cut hay reminds me of helping my grandparents. So you’re not alone with the farm/ rural smells. Alfalfa is a sweet, neutral scent - I’d argue it’s better than some of the perfumes and cologne out there that just smother me with their smell

      I get what you mean… as long as it’s from a distance or a long time after it sprayed. I was recently in the vicinity of a skunk that had just sprayed (not at me, but happened maybe 50 feet away max), and holy shit it’s so, so much worse up close. I had an N95 on and had to retreat because the stench was unbearable. Like burning tires and acid and it’s SO overwhelming that you can fucking taste it.

      0/10, would avoid if possible. I still find the smell from a good distance like a 6/10 though.

    There’s a distinct musty basement smell. Not like…moldy and swampy, but just a little damp.

    Can’t really put it into cohesive words. But the smell of something like a basement/garage/stairwell, a bit damp/moist. Smells like petrichor

      I don’t think I’d feel the same way now, but kid me used to think it smelled interesting. Oddly pleasant even.

    A newly opened package of those survey marker flags you stick in ground. It smells like those old vinyl pool floaties dialed up to 11.
