An Olfactory Diary

1. Apple's N' Cinnamon (my home) Saturday Morning.

Although I was making cider for a Spanish assignment, the scent of apples and cinnamon always leaves me feeling comfortable or cozy. It reminds me of completing puzzles with my grandma Jean and making pies for my Grandpa because it is his favorite.

2. Rain on Asphalt (School) Sunday Afternoon

After I finished a show at school on Sunday the ground was wet from rain and was emitting this smell from the humidity. It carries this wet musty smell. It derives feelings of discomfort for me as it usually smells like this when it is humid.

3. Lipstick (School) Friday + Sunday

I wear this red lipstick for the play that has such a strong smell. I find it extremely hard to explain besides the smell of lipstick itself.

4. Paint (school) Friday

Although the paint is dry the theatre at school always has the small remnant smell of wet paint. When I smell wet paint outside of the theatre it gives me joy as it reminds me of what I have done in that space.

5. Cigarettes (Sunday) mall

I will never enjoy the smell of cigarettes but when I smell them I am thrown back to being tiny and hugging my dads leg as he tried to get me away from the smoke from his cigarettes.

6. Book (Sunday) Home

The smell of a new book always has such an amazing smell. I could never describe it. But it reminds me of reading all of the Percy Jackson books like a maniac in my room growing up.

7. Coffee (Sunday) Brunch

I love coffee. You'd think that I'd not like it as I drink it in the morning when no ones in a good mood. But the smell of coffee will forever be one of the best smells.

8. Nail Polish (Saturday) Friends House

The smell of nail polish smells like chemicals. I've never had to describe the smell besides saying it smells like nail polish and that it gives me a headache.

9. Fresh Blankets (Sunday) Theatre

The blanket I keep at the theatre for when I'm cold smells like fresh linen and laundry detergent and will always make me feel clean and comforted.

10. Soap (Friday) Home

My soap smells like lavender and always makes me feel relaxed with the calming scent.
