Fresh Bedsheets
Permanent ID: smellbook: · updated 2026-10-19, revision 4
Character EDITORIAL
Fresh bedsheets smell soft, clean and light, with clean cotton, a gentle trace of laundry scent and a cool, airy freshness.
Words: clean, soft, fabric, fresh. Families: Temperature and texture, Fresh and clean, Animal, material and lived-in.
States: fresh (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: Hotel.
