If they made a scented candle that smelled like your hometown, what would it smell like?

[Pappy]

Sadly, Pappy, McLaughlins just went out of business
I just moved in December to the senior apartments in the old school on West Main St.

Gee, maybe you are in my old home room. I spent 7th grade and up in that building. So many memories there. Machine shop and band in the basement. My brother lives on East Main next to fairgrounds. Great memories of the old Norwich. Now, I hear drugs are a very serious problem there.

 

[Phoenix]

Sulfur and sawdust.

 

[Keesha]

Pot. There is a constant smell of pot everywhere. If you could detect any other odors, it would be water, salt water, sometimes refreshing sometimes not so much.

Haha. All coming from your apartment.

My hometown smells different each season. When the farms fertilize it smells a bit funky

Yes, unfortunately

Mostly a fresh ocean breeze but occasionally just a hint of burning eucalypts.

Eucalyptus, the scent goes with me everywhere. I take a little bottle of the oil on my travels.

Growing up my hometown smelled like Buitoni pasta sauce. The canning factory was right next to my grammar school. When the teacher opened the windows, no AC back then, the smell would waft in. Sometimes it was hard to concentrate right before lunchtime.
Where I live now it smells like fresh air but if you go through town on certain days it smells like chocolate or roasted peanuts. from the large M&M plant nearby..

Ice/snow (if that has a smell)?

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Pollution.

Honey. During the 1905 World's Fair, Uvalde, in the Texas Hill Country, was honored as the Honey Capital of the World. According to an article by Susan L. Ebert in the Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine, “In the 1870s, pioneer settlers discovered hollow trees and caves brimming with bees and honey.

My hometown smells of snow, tonight. Whatever it smells like. Harvey the pup is enjoying it.

 

[Gemma]

Right now, the cool, crisp smell of winter’s air, with an occasional whiff of woodstove smoke.

Lilacs, Since we live in the Capital of Lilacs in Ontario...

 

[Mrs. Robinson]

Eucalyptus and jet fuel. Lots and lots of eucalyptus trees and when it rains,oh wow! And my hometown was (is) actually where SFO is located-not San Francisco like you would think.The house I grew up in was on a hill overlooking the airport.

Rats & mice. The first apartment we lived in had its own pets - & I fed them every day when I was 4-5. I'd sit on the floor & they crawled all over me & I loved them.

 

[fmdog44]

In my home town the light candles to get rid of the smell.

Gunpowder.

It depends what part of my home town one would represent. Lots of car and bus exhaust fumes stink OR sweet grass and pine trees. I'd like the pine tree smell myself, and in the summer - the heady perfume of flowers of all varieties. It can be heaven or hell here.
