Time to tackle another hard one. One of the questions in this challenge has already dealt with the fact that a lot of people value one sense more highly than another, with H saying she'd prefer to keep her hearing at the expense of her sight if needs must, while I'd opt to have it the other way round. To be honest, I don't think about smell the way I do sight or hearing, and if I was going to have to lose one of the three, I'd ditch the olfactory nerves without hesitation. Which does make it awkward to pick a favourite smell...
...in fact, totally impossible. I simply don't have one favourite smell. Maybe I could compile a top ten though, in no particular order:
- Nearly-cooked pizza
- Hot bacon
- Cake
- Chocolate (solid or liquid forms)
- Tea/Coffee
- Month-old carpet (so it still smells like a carpet shop, but not too overwhelming)
- Freshly cut grass (used to have implications of progress, back in the days when I did the lawn mowing)
- Wood smoke
- Roses
- Ink (in small quantities)

I love smells!!! Mainly nice ones... Yes, I'm the sort of person who values smells highly, maybe hugs boyfriend's jumpers 'cause of the smell.... always takes a big sniff when walking past fresh cut grass... I'm tired.... I'm going to sleep...
