Do you feel transported to another world when you smell pure vanilla extract? How about the heavenly smell of fresh orange blossoms on the trees? Do you know the otherworldly smell of Wisteria or even lilac? Do you believe that smells can heal the nerves and soothe the mind? Have you ever felt so spiritually thrilled to smell a heavily scented pine forest aroma? What about the fantastic sent of certain aromatic oils such as Blue Nile?
I live really close to a brewery now, my whole neighborhood smells like yeast, so in fact I do utilize some aromatherapy. I like eucalyptus and pine, tea tree oil, anything kind of astringent like that I guess. I don't quite feel other worldly about it all, but obviously it will affect moods just like any sensory boost.
oh tea tree oil is heavenly. I had a shampoo once that was like 5% tea tree oil and it was unreal, the smell, the tingling sensation, and PINE, oh God, how I love pine, oh, and blue spruce, it is otherworldly. Oh and eucalyptus is unreal, I had a small vial of that oil in 2008 and I used to smell it constantly, even brought it with me to work a few times, relieves stress.Quote:

Logging onto Saddoboxing is a bit like aromatherapy nowadays.
Everywhere I look, I smell bullshit posts by Brockton. ;D
While at work I was forced to pinch a loaf. I say forced as I'm not one who likes to use public bathrooms. But it was an emergency. Anyway, the second I stepped out of the stall some fellow was going into the same stall I just used. I was going to warn him but hey, its a bathroom. He had a shitty day.
I was wandering around Clifton in Bristol. For those of you that don't know, it's a very wealthy, expensive part of town that is achingly trendy and full of hipsters and pop up vegan cafes.
I had a curry the night before, and a skinful of beers. desperate for a shit, I nipped into a free trade vegetarian, anti fox hunting and CND coffee shop.
It has one unisex toilet, so in I went. I opened the gates of Hell and the devil came out, steaming and chuntering in a nixious tidal wave of jalfrezi and San Miguel poison. In fact, it was so disgusting it took me ages to wipe my arse and the stink was worse than the air of Fallujah.
As I left, I saw a line if three smart and trendy young women waiting to use the cubicle, one of whom had a pretty little girl with her, all dresses in a frock and ribbons in her air.
I could feel the atmosphere behind me physically burning the skin on the back of my neck.
So I strolled out, right past them and fucked off out if the coffee shop.
That is delightfully descriptive, and anticipating the red ribbons to be gaseously knocked off the poor girl's head is wildly funny. Jalfrazi can do that. Yes sir. Haha anti fox-hunting. Skunked-out bathroom too.Quote:

Love the smell of magnolias, and if I'm walking around in your garden you'll probably see me picking leaves, crushing them and taking a whiff/smell. It usually brings back memories. A field of green onions has a pleasant smell to me, I'll usually park on the side of the road and take it in for a few minutes.
Like the smell of some fresh cut fruit, too.
Thank your lucky stars you don't live near a dairy or pig farm, waking to that smell is no way to start your day. In my opinion, of course!Quote:
