- garbage and filth puddles along Taft Avenue
- smoke emission from vehicles
- minty toothpaste smell
- cigarette smoke
- an old book with brownish pages
- rusty metal
- my hands--a subtle chocolate-sweet scent
- dried up sweat on gym mats
- the rubbery smell of the gym
Main Scent: An Old Book
The smell center detected vanilla absolute as fingers flicked the fore edge of a nut-brown object. A cloud of warm air lifted from the object's musty, foxed pages, creating a net of post-summer-rain petrichor. As hands slammed the front and back covers shut, a sweet, redolent aroma wafted through the air. Palms patted on the edges and spine to gather dust, enkindling sweet intoxication.
