    So in canon they say they smell the things they desire/find enjoyable? I guess.

    So if you were to smell the potion what do you think you'd smell?

    Mine would be tamales, fresh cut grass, a specific perfume my wife wears that I enjoy.

    I like the dry, ozone-y scent of winter/snow, and cinnabuns. Fresh bread is also nice

    Petrichor, pine needles and chocolate, I suppose.

    The smell of libraries, I guess, and everything that goes with it. Books, coffee...

    Clean sheets, pizza and lignin, I'd imagine.

    The earthy air after a summer shower, blooming heather, and fresh cut grass.

    I thought this was meant for Taure to post :p?

    Anyway I thought about it and it's pools when it rains, the sea, cookies and bread (at the same time).

    Smell of fresh magic cards, pizza, and a well-loved book

    The sea when the waves are rolling in, a black cedarwood and juniper cologne I wear and a freshly made buttery bacon sandwich.

    Nothing says love like heart disease.

    Campfires in fall, coffee in the morning, and a bourbon-barrel aged stout.

    The smell you immediately get when you put a reverse-seared ribeye on a piping hot skillet

    The ozone smell as a severe storm approaches, during the little window of time when everything is calm and quiet right before the shitstorm

    Raw beef smell.

    Gasoline, the smell of rain on hot cement, chicken ramen noodles, searing garlic, my own farts.

    Mine would be either chocolate cake or rhubarb crumble when you can smell that it's ready in the oven and you have to hurry to take it out. Also the Baltic when the waves are high and mixed wih a bit of petrol from the boat. For the third one, maybe the hair of someone I'm with.

    Coffee mixed with the sharp acid air of a snowy city morning, acetone, smoke and sweat and perfume with an undertone of bleach.

    These types of questions always leave me stumped.

    Majube's hits pretty close to mine.

    Crisp autumn morning wind, ginger-cardamom heavy chai, and whatever crashing waves smell like.

    edit:

    This makes me wonder if OG Amortentia smells and tastes different for everyone depending on their mood...

    My girlfriend's shampoo, freshly brewed coffee, and the smell after a heavy downpour, when drops of water slowly slide off of leaves.
