I used to live right near one of the main bakeries for Flowers foods. When they were cooking the cinnamon buns in the morning you would go outside and everywhere would smell like it. Amazing.

You are spot on. There may be some over 11,000...but damn few. Most are at elevations lower than that.

"Aspen, known as quaking aspen, are Colorado’s only widespread, native, deciduous tree and can be found from 6,500 to 11,500 feet in elevation, particularly on the West Slope."

Fresh sea breeze combined with wood smoke.


The Yin/Yang is perfect.

This is at +/- 11,000' going to Goose Lake in NM. Pretty sure those are Aspen trees.

Jasmine as it is starting to bloom in the spring time. It takes me back to my childhood days growing up in Zachary.

I’m approaching 50 but once I smell Jasmine blooming I am immediately zapped right back into the 80’s

yep, the bean counter probably ruined your whole trip, better pack it up and head on home.

My first serious girlfriend’s perfume. I don’t know the name of it but I think about her every time I smell it in public. It’s an odd sensation to be honest.

A nice bourbon. Love that vanilla/caramel smell that comes out the glass.

I have to add the smell of the ocean. Not the beach or close in to shore, but way, way out where there's nothing but salt water and ocean air. Like the middle of the Atlantic, or the Mediterranean, or the Caribbean smell.

My Dad had a produce business for most of his life. In the summers, Mom would make my dad take a few of his kids on his route, to get them out of her hair.

I remember vividly, the smell of the coffee roasting plant near Carrolton St on the way to the French Market.

Whenever I smell coffee roasting, I feel like I am being transported back to the late 60's early 70's. It's magical.

I have to say that fresh air when you wake up after tent camping in Colorado is hard to beat.
