Reading other posts made me think of this. I can smell things from quite a distance and often smell flowers before I have seen them.

I have a rose bush near my front door that if I keep deadheading flowers from June to September. At the moment the beautiful perfume fills the air as I approach the door and have to slow down to enjoy it.

    Although not a drinker I do have a 1/3 bottle of rich, sweet dark sherry that I bought just to smell.  
    Petrichor, the smell of the dry earth after rain is something I discovered for myself in the 1950s.
