The Color Of Old Receipts
Twilight at the Gas Station by Felipe Hora Just outside this one horse townA few feet across the county linelives a place of olfactory curiositiesBetween the eddies and flotsamOf a much different place and time It's outside, dilapidated, wincingas if in an uncaressing agonyIts paint, pockmarked, peeling offlike track marks up a junkie's armOr a half alive jackrabbit, left for dead Inside is like a museum of memoriesThat you thought you'd never see againScents, like a time traveller […]https://thetigressawakes.wordpress.com/2026/06/16/the-color-of-old-receipts/

Breathing in the past: How #museums can use biomolecular #archaeology to bring ancient #scents to life -
"Like wily perfumers, a parasitic beetle’s larvae create floral aromas to lure in bees. Plants are known to cosplay as animals, but this rare discovery could be the first known example of an animal chemically mimicking a plant."

Nostalgia scents of childhood
Freshly cut grass
Fresh rain
Crayons
Your mother’s perfume
Scented markers
Bark from a playground
An autumn leaf pile
Your grandmother’s house
Pencil shavings
mandarin or orange
Leather
An old teddy bear or blanket
The smell of school
A football or basketball
Pink erasers
Hot chocolate

Guess what? Archaeologists are now doubling as #perfume chemists 🧴🧙♂️, resurrecting #ancient stench to make #history "come alive"—literally! So next time you're in a museum, don't just admire the artifacts; inhale deeply and get a whiff of the past, because clearly, sight alone just doesn't cut it anymore! 🤷♂️👃

Hmm, had to move away from a cloud of perfume/cologne outflow from some class going on at our local library when they opened the door (I was outdoors, 15 feet away from the building). Maybe should have stayed masked up beyond the bike rack. I do wonder how many people have lost their sense of smell since 2019, overwhelming amounts of scented products. PU. #stinky #scents

Bakhoor Oud Moattar Bahraini - wood burned incense scent jar. It smelled so amazing! Made with #agarwood.
Agarwood is also known as aloeswood, eaglewood, gharuwood or the Wood of Gods, commonly referred to as #oud or oudh.
You can get some from their site:

I've had a deep craving to smell like strawberries lately. Strawberries and vanilla would work too.
My strawberry ChapStick isn't enough.
Any recommendations for a perfume or body lotion that would fit that description?

Got this from @[email protected] and wow my house smells so good for so little effort! And not in a chemical or fake way, which usually keeps me away from scents.

One of the neighbours in my apartment building has two dogs who seem to know which floor they live on by scent.
They will stand by the door and sniff while the elevator moves. Just as we reach their floor, they get excited before the door even opens.
I have no idea how they do this, and maybe I’m misinterpreting what’s happening…but it’s really cool.
Dog owners, have you noticed anything similar to this?

The #mammalian #nose is a work of evolutionary art. Its millions of #nerve #cells, each tailored with just one of thousands of specific odor-chemical receptors encoded in the #genome, can collectively distinguish a trillion distinct #scents.
