Ironed Shirt
Permanent ID: smellbook: · updated 2026-10-19, revision 3
Character EDITORIAL
An ironed shirt smells warm, dry and clean, with the soft cotton smell of laundered fabric lifted by heat.
Words: fabric, warm, dry, clean. 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.
Evidence
