Mmm vanilla, lemon verbena and white freesias - I am completely with you ; ) I also cannot resist almond oil or essence, fresh brewed coffee, and the scent of roses. Sweet little post, I enjoyed it : )

G'day from Australia, where we are only six weeks away from winter.

May I add two more: the scent of roses wafting through my garden before I cut them back; and the smell of coffee - no, I only drink tea, probably because I went to school in Darjeeling!!

Vanilla would be my top choice. The scent reminds me of childhood--how my mom would let me sniff the Tone's Vanilla Extract as she baked chocolate chip cookies, explaining that she always put in more than the recipe called for.

Ahhh... all such wonderful suggestions.

David: I cannot help but wonder if your best-seller might not have sold even more had it been named Marmite Madras. ;)

Hmmm....I love verbena! I have a room spray that is coconut-lime-verbena that is so summery! I would have to agree with you on the crook of a man's neck (although I've only been smelling one man's neck in years! ha-ha!)
And the vanilla extract...I over-pour, too! :)

If it's the right neck Betsy... I guess it's the right neck. :)
