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 Interesting Question. 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. Is it just the BBQ smokers. I rarely see mesquite anywhere near Houston. Chinese tallow, pine, pecan, or oak yes but mesquite? True, I use pecan myself. I just used Mesquite as a generalization. -- "ST" "Everywhere is within walking distance, if you have the time" (-Steven Wright-) |
