Oh yes..the earthy smell has an instinctive calming effect which refreshes the soul.

There are also some weird smells that I like, smell of gasoline, turpentine, smell of flipping the old books n photo albums, smell of eraser, the smell when you enter a footwear shop(leather?), smell of asphalt..so many...I can go on and on like that..Basically the problem with long nose.

Glad that you liked it Nikita..thanks for coming!

Hey parineetha,

I just came across your post while surfing on some other thing. The description you have written about the nature around you made me visualize the heavenly atmosphere sitting right over here. In fact I was pretty stressed and probably God sent this at a very correct time. I forgot all my worries for a moment and sort of entered your world and felt like staying there forever.

Even I am a person who loves to have a simple life and enjoy tiny little things rather than big lavish lifestyle. But the rush all around the world and stress about the responsibilities had burdened me a lot. But your writing has brought me back to the nature and i promise myself to stay with it now.

You writing means a lot to me at this moment. Thanks a lot....

oh my my..Thank you so much. Im feeling soo honored.
You know what, when I wrote this I was not in good moods. I started writing only coz I seriously wanted some diversion myself at that moment. Else I have the very bad habit of thinking way too much and analyzing things. So that's how it began.
By the time I finished, I was completely out of it. Eventually everything became OK by the end of day. Its all about we diverting ourselves.
If this piece can bring you some happiness and if your at peace, there couldn't be any greater joy or compliment for me. I mean it.
Am very happy for you..

Sometimes, we forget about all the simple n small pleasures in life. Be childlike and enjoy sweet little things around us.

Wow .... What a lovely piece of write-up Neetu! You have beautifully articulated the intoxication in all those fragrance oils, hmmmmm .... Coffee, fresh rain, flowers and finally baby's smell which would remain evergreen for a mother!

You know only some people have the blessing to enjoy all these smells you mentioned and feel lucky to be one among few!

Thanks for sharing this in the other intoxication series!

Neetu dear I just went back to see whether this post was nominated and surprising to see that I only had nominated and you got the award, but I had not given feedback. Any way nice post, whatever you write or whenever you write it goes direct to the finest forum . I dont know when I will learn to write like you and other great writers , I think for that I have to take another birth

Am intoxicated literally…
I know..I know it’s coming right after the weekend. I shall say you are grossly mistaken even if you had an iota of doubt that Neetu has written on getting high over a glass of vodka or beer… You see, I don’t even know to which latitude or longitude one gets high . So sorry guys!:notthatway:

What else instigates my intoxication you may ask???
It’s the pleasant whiff of heavenly scents which delights my senses that I can die a million times.

It rains at night here; I wake up to the earthy smell of the monsoon showers. The wet window panes grin at me with a gleam on its face. I grin at it back and head straight to my balcony garden. The mild breeze ruffles my hair and plants a gentle kiss on my cheeks. I shut my eyes and shy away, feeling chills running down my spine. Batting my eyelids, I see the ever happy princess marigold and her buddy rose singing to the tunes of humming bird, that the queen Jasmine brims with pride. The ever graceful white lilies and her sensuous fragrance intensify the aura, a little secret that she never wants to share. The wild creepers have their own dance party tapping their feet and big old trees swaying their heads.
Completely mesmerized and hypnotized in the gamut of alluring floral fragrances, in the sensual woody perfume of the trees, and in the musky smell of damp soil, I breathe to the deepest layers of my soul, feeling absolutely languished under the intoxicating heaviness.

If I say the aromas of Coffee beans intoxicate my senses, every South Indian knows what I mean.
Back during my ‘Happily single’ days, I’m tucked in thick comforters, lost in my own utopian world far from morning madness, that only my Amma knew the secret to invade me. The coffee she brews is every bit of heaven on earth, I still long for hers. The inviting warm smell just wafted the corridors of the house arousing my olfactory nerves, making my taste buds simply ache for the creamy, smooth coffee. I dragged my feet to the kitchen and a whiff of coffee in the air was a blast to my senses. You call it the magical nectar or a caffeine jolt, the euphoria it creates with the strong undeniable aroma is worth a million pounds. Truly intoxicating!

I can go on and on and on…the peels of fresh citrusy lemon, the Christmassy(?) smell of cinnamon sticks, the peppery smell of ginger, the pine and minty smell of eucalyptus are all mysteriously intoxicating.
My DH calls it “girlish fascination” when I go fetish over aroma oils. I love these enticing smell of patchouli, lavender, geranium, chamomile, and ylang-ylang oils which I use with the diffuser, takes me on sensory journey that ignites the senses and enlivens the body, mind and soul. I’m intoxicated again.

But the irresistible obsession;holistic intoxication comes with the smell of my baby. An experience of luscious sense of bliss literally washing all over me, the moment I first held my baby in the hand. :queen
A sense of dopamine rush tickling every cell of my body; feeling totally hallucinated in eau de bebe. The addictive smell, overwhelmingly nostalgic; I forgot those sleepless nights but I could never forget the smell of my baby.
An addictive smell, every mother knew how divine it was.
The pinnacle of intoxication! :-D
