Some Nice Smells

[lupestripe]

Being a wolf I'm quite used to using my olfactory sense. So here is a list of smells that this lil wolf likes:

1) New upholstery and carpet
2) Petrol and benzene
3) Freshly baked bread
4) Crisp springtime dew (or indeed any grass after it has just been raining)
5) Bacon frying
6) Fish being battered in a fish and chip shop

I just discovered today I like the smell of bookshops...

mmm, new books

Which bookshop in particular hun? Books have a really nice smell (I used to snort new books as a kid I loved the smell so much) so I can see what you mean but most bookshops I go to are air conditioned to the point where the smell is taken away :(

Waterstone's didn't seem to have air con (High St. Kensington, London) because it was kinda cold anyway I guess so it still smelled like books.

Small independent bookshops or those olde worlde bookshops you get in cities like York do have a particular smell of stale books in them. I must admit I haven't really experienced the smell of books in a Waterstones really, largely due to the air conditioning. Maybe they're all really well ventilated up here.
