Have you ever noticed that new person smell is good, but old person smell is not?
Seriously! We sniff babies all the time, well maybe some of you don't, but they have this sweet, maple syrup smell to them. It's just too much to not sniff one. They could make candles or air freshener in newborn smell and people would buy it! Of course, there might be some confusion as to whether or not any babies were actually harmed in the process of making the new scent. But who in their right mind would but an air freshener that has old people smells? Unless it was old perfumes that are not currently in style. No one would buy "grandpa joe's 3rd day wearing the same outfit" eau de toilet. I think not!
Smells bring you to a special memory of a certain place in time. Some of my favorite smells from my childhood include- fresh cut grass, salt water, even dead low tide would make the cut, and that is not a pleasant smell, but it reminds me if coming home, or driving to the club. Another favorite was my grandfather's garage. Again, coming home.
I might be home more often if I could vet a new baby smelling candle. Or would I?
Yeah, maybe not.
