Order of the Odor: Volume 6

We hope your 2015 is moving smoothly and pleasantly along. February heralds in with pink and red hearts bursting forth in store aisles. Pro-Valentine, Anti-Valentine, it makes no difference, love exists. Please answer these questions along with us!

1. What scents remind you of love?

This is a great question! Scents that remind a person of love can be anything they want it to be. The scents that remind me of love have little or nothing to do with wax. Love is the scent of rain on the road. Love is the scent of movie theater popcorn where we had our third date and our first kiss. Love is the scent of bean burritos and carne asada from our favorite Mexican restaurant. Love is the scent of puppy's breath. Love is the scent of the Christmas tree we decorated every year as a family after my mom's birthday. Love is the scent of cinnamon sticks and cider in my mother in law's house. Love is the scent of fresh baked goods at my grandma's house. We have talked about scent memories before in our Order of the Odor posts, but these are some of my favorite descriptions of scents that remind me of love.

2. What scent would you melt or what candle would you burn to create a romantic atmosphere? 

Oooooooh, gettin' frisky on ya, are we?! Well, it would probably be something cinnamon-y, just because I know that's what me and my hubby like. It's not super traditional for romance, but cinnamon means spicy and spicy means bom-chika-bow-bow! LOLOL, kidding!! Either that, or something deep and dark and complex, a little ocean-y, a little masculine, a little intoxicating.

"Rise up this morning', smiled with the risin' sun, three little birds each by my doorstep, singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true" If you are in the mood to sing along with Bob and bring some tropical whimsy into your winter day you might want to pop this scent in your warmer like Lauren did.
