Cut Grass

Permanent ID: smellbook:smell:cut-grass · updated 2026-10-06, revision 4

Character EDITORIAL

Cut grass smells intensely green, moist and fresh, with a sharp, sappy edge and a slight sweetness underneath.

Words: green, fresh, leafy, moist. Families: Fresh and clean.

States: cut (EDITORIAL). A state says how an entry is met, such as wet, aged or roasted. It does not create a new smell, and it adds no scientific fact by itself: states marked EDITORIAL come from the entry's own records, and only those marked VERIFIED are reported by a VERIFIED claim.

Met in: Park, Garden.
