The smell of jasmine always reminds me of Tunisia, when we lived there. There was a town called City Bu Saiid, and it always smelled like fried dough and jasmine.

Jasmine - mmmmmmmmmmm.
:D :D
I adore the smell of jasmine Richard - I think giddy is a wonderful description. Do you stand and sniff? I do. A garden near me has a wonderful jasmine and whenever I go out I stand there like some "very strange lady" sniffing! :D :cool:
I bought a good friend a jasmine plant - for indoors - two years ago. She said she always kills her indoor plants. This beautiful jasmine is still alive and thriving and whenever I walk in the smell is wonderful - she thinks it is the most wonderful pressy ever!
Freesia is another flower smell I adore :D I carried freesia when Don and I married - ahh.

I love Jasmine too, unfortunately it only lasted some weeks here.
The whole town smells of linden trees here - there are trees that bloom earlier and they are sweeter, but these that are still in bloom are more flowery. GOD, it smells great!
I've never smelt *real* jasmine, only the fake prefume/sprays......
Is there any comparison between the two?:p
Kayann - not really!! The perfume sort of smell is too 'chemically' (!!) - the real scent from the plant is . . . . . . undescribable!
Sorry thats no help at all:D :D

OK Kelly, you bring the jasmine and I'll make cinnamon rolls! We'll have Richard giddy and maybe even giggling LOL :D Now THAT'S a picture we can blackmail him with *heh heh heh* I personnally get swoony over lillies of the valley or lilacs. When I lived on the horse ranch in Marin County it was called Baywood Canyon and the smell was of Baywood trees and Eucalyptus trees. Heavenly. A friend said once he didn't like the Eucalypus smell because it reminded him of kitty litter :rolleyes:
