Smell

Have you ever smelt something that sparked a memory?

Most smells may make you wanna repulse and back away, or even a common laugh. (yep I am talking about those farters, who fart for pure amusement) but NO I am not talking about fart sparking memories...unless they do to you (LOL)

But aroma? They could be the smell of good food that will make you crave everytime you get a sniff of it. How cool would it be if smell could sell? Yes there are frangrances...sweet, musk, whatever...normally in your drawer liners. But here I'm talking about...what if there was such thing as "The big fat book of wonderful smells" (minus fat if that offends people, big if you want to too).

What sparked this post? Yep...that IS correct, smell....why is this sounding more like an episode of Sesame Street...and todays word is smell. S-M-E-L-L it also rhymes with well, and Dell, and swell...whatevers Wendy!

Nah, but I was working on alot of shoe cages (a cage with alot of boxes of shoes FYI) and I was opening and sniffing them (no not a shoe smell addict), and the smell that sorta dispersed from them reminded me, some memories recent, and some quite distant. I know alot of people will stand in the shoe department thinking "MEH this stinks, let's move" ...YES I do too. But that's because it's the new odours of people trying them on, that make people repulse.

New shoes that come in, smell quite leathery, plasticey, rubbery. Not a great description but I'm talking about the point the knife cuts open the thick sticky tape that reveals a box of 9/12/15 pair of shoes all neatly stuffed with paper in a grid, and a sudden smell that intoxicates you.

A box of winter slippers - reminded me of the alcoholic shot 'Cowboys'
A box of crocs - reminded me of those rubbery things they use to give out on planes when you were a little kid for free...until you got to the age where your passport says you're too old and have to request a kid set from the air hostess....lol those were the good old days.
A box of leather boots- reminded me of when mum use to sew big fat leather jackets for earn a few extra $$$ which made the whole garage smell like cows. Don't get me wrong walking past leather jackets still reminds me of that smell.

If it's certain smells that spark your memory too...open up a box of shoes TODAY



LMAO
Which led me to search up smell in the images of google.
Check it out, I reckon it's funny. If not google "Jaf project Smell Ya later"
