Wafts of beautiful scents are all part of my everday life.
I start in a morning by spraying L'ocittane Verbena fragrance all over me, and then go downstairs and brew fresh coffee which I inhale before I drink. Fruit teas get me through the day at work nicely, and I always sniff my book before I read it (which is why I cannot entertain the thought of a Kindle!). I always sniff my hubby and kids when I kiss them (not always pleasant!! but its all part of the love!). I don't walk past the Lemon Balm, Lavender, herbs or roses in my garden without stopping for a smell either. I sit out at night under the honeysuckle and drown in its scent.
I saw this great idea the other week, and think I may adopt it on a small patch of garden. Its Lavender surrounding a Camomile Lawn. Heavenly.

Now that is a good idea.
I love the smells of life too, my husband son and daughter all smell so very different and it is like perfume to me - love the snuggles.
Lovely post and themed with my Sunday..right this morning I had to burn a scented candle because of awful food smells coming from the kitchen..yuck!
Have a great Sunday!

Oh yes lavender is hard to resist. We haveloads planted around the big local co-op and it's always a buzz with bees in the summer.
I love the honeysuckle in our garden. It's actually grwon over from next door and they keep saying they want to cut it down, I hope they don't!

thank you for your thoughtful comment.....love love love the smell of lavender, always rub my hands in it when ever I find it growing!!
Smells, we don't always think of them but they're an important part of our lives. I love the smell of coffee in the morning, of roses growing in the sun, my husbands neck when he's warm from the sun.
That looks a great idea, I love a good sniff too.
Went to http://www.yorkshirelavender.com/ last week, heavenly.

I sneakily sniff Twiglet when I hug him :) the sweetpeas near the front door always get a sniff too!!
I'm having a little giveaway, pop on over.

I have a very poor sense of smell, so does my brother, so often scented candles, shower creams etc are wasted on me. I do like the idea of wearing a perfume every day though, I must try to do that at least others will get the benefit.
I know exactly what you mean about that L'occitane Verbena fragrance - it smells wonderful :0)

Smells really are so important xx
I love the smell of my son, sounds strange but I miss the male smell being single and I do sniff his pillow and pj@s, drinking in the musty male smell. Shhh..... don't tell anyone xx
I love the scent of lavender, lemon balm and fresh coffee and lots of other good smells too. DH is asthmatic though and so one thing I never do is spray perfume on myself or anywhere else which is something I still miss even after nearly 39 years! No flowers in the house either:(
I would love to walk barefoot across that camomile lawn. Smell is such a precious sense to have.
Your pictures conjour up the fresh smell of nature - ( thank you for your cheque )
I love the smell of freshly brewed coffee. I often inhale it like a breath of fresh air before I drink it. I think there's nothing more enjoyable than the scent of freshly brewed coffee!
I agree with you.
The jasmine is in full bloom here: tumbling over the fences in great swathes of white loveliness. The scent is intense and indoors, the bouquets perfume the whole house.
I am now your newest follower.

Lovely lavender...that reminds me I need some for my garden. Mine didn't survive the winter.
