Regional scents
I am trying to find out about scents that are disctinctive and descriptive of certain regions in the USA, specifically: Badlands, SD Everglades, FL Painted Desert, CA / NA Smokey Mountains, or the Blue Ridge Mountains, NC / VA Gulf Coast (Texas - Florida) Sierra Nevada, CA Thousand Lakes, MN Grand Teton, WY New England Adirondacks, NY Also, any other destination that might have a distinctive aroma from its native plants and flowers. Or, if anyone has any stories that evoke an aroma from a trip, that would be very interesting, too. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks -- Timmilne ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timmilne's Profile: http://travelforums.org/forums/member.php?userid=212 View this thread: http://travelforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17113 This post was submitted via http://www.TravelForums.org |

Many thanks Hawaii has many native floral, plant and wood scents as well as sea scents. Oh, and I suppose volcano aromas which might be more accurately characterized as "odors".

The Jeffrey pines in the Sierra Nevada smell faintly of vanilla on warm days. It's the scent I most associate with summer in the mountains of California.

I never gave it much thought. I'll surely try to take notice from now on. All I know at this time is, I know when I'm home (Houston, TX) when I smell the Mesquete. -- "ST" "Everywhere is within walking distance, if you have the time" (-Steven Wright-) |

I rarely see mesquite anywhere near Houston. Chinese tallow, pine, pecan, or oak yes but mesquite? |
