We have a linen closet that for a time in my childhood was emptied out and made to serve as the “Nintendo room”, containing an NES hooked up to an old Commodore 64 monitor. I still associate that fabric/crafty smell with 8-bit gaming.

I also love the smell of sun soaked dog fur.

    I don’t know whether anyone else smells this, because I never hear people talk about it.

    Some time in November, no matter the weather, there will be this empty, metallic, crisp, clean burning smell. I usually only catch whiffs of it a few times. It’s how I gauge when winter is here.

    Maybe this is just how winter smells and I get noseblind to it quickly?

      It could be someone near you doing a controlled burn of their fields. IDK why farmers do it but I know it’s a thing. I can sometimes smell it where I am though I am not a huge fan of whatever it is we burn around here.

      Yeah. I know that one. That’s a good one. The burning I’m thinking of is burning leaves.
