Good smells

My wife put on some patchouli on similar scent last night and it still lingers in the house wherever she had been. It's a wonderful smell! Of course she put it on just before heading out for the evening ... hmmmm

I typically am turned off by perfumes but she has nailed this one. It's distinct too. I can't smell it without having vivid images of this wonderful person. I have jars of my grandfather's cologne (from 1965!) and it's a similar pleasure. The smell is absolutely unique to him. I've pondered trying to ebay the unique jars of cologne (jars are in the shapes of cars) but I think they are much more valuable just being able to share moments with him periodically.
