My favorite scent isn't one, it's more like two or three or four all together. Early spring to me always smells like the Renaissance Faire: dew on grass, Nag Champa incense on the air (and some other smells too---those of you who have been at a Faire just before it opens know which smell I'm talking about, particularly since the incense was supposed to cover it up ;O) and the smell of hay and dirt.
I don't know if my description is anywhere close to the reality, but for almost 12 years of my life, that was the smell of spring, of the earth coming alive again, and when I smell it by chance again, it always takes me back. :)

About Me
- Krista
- Wife, mom of a preemie, follower of the old ways, lover of anything Irish or Celtic, history buff, trivia nut, Star Trek and Ren Faire geek and costuming fiend. Offer me coffee or chocolate and world peace is assured. Or at least I'll try really hard. :) I also believe in deleting spam. So, to the person or persons who keep leaving me comments in Chinese (along with links to what I can clearly tell are Chinese porn sites) stop it. It's bad karma, to say nothing of being really, really rude.

Would that perchance be the same scent college students use inscence to cover? Not that I've smelled it or anything... *whistles*
LOL, it would indeed. Of course, I've never smelled it either....:) **whistling innocently**
Funny thing, that: I came back from working the Faire one Memorial Day weekend and my dad started interrogating me about what my costume smelled like. Apparently, Dad had more than a passing acquaintance with that particular substance when he was in college...:)
