Olfactory perception

Feb 06, 2010 14:04

I like when I wake up in the morning and I smell just the slightest hint of sweat. I like the musky, a bit spicy perfume of my (dirty) skin, it feels real, authentic; as if i finally smelled like myself, and not like flower shower gel, organic olive soap, moisturizing cream, lemon cologne or shea butter -all those fragrances are wonderful and rich, but so fake. I wasn't born smelling flower or lemon. When I wake up those mornings -if someone woke up beside me, they would probably tell me I need a shower- I inhale just a bit more deeply, and stay just a bit longer than usual, and I close my eyes and remember my childhood summers, camping with my parent and stinking and being dirty all the time and loving every moment of it.
