Simple Smells
I like the smell of waves and sand.
I like the smell of rain.
I like the smell of gasoline, although it sounds insane.
I like the smell of orange juice, at any time of day.
I like the smell of baby powder, white and softly sprayed.
I like the smell of bark and moss, damp from morning dew.
I like the smell of roses.
Crushed petals make perfume.
