Evening

What does the evening smell like? EDITORIAL

Each line is the entry's own editorial description. Garlic, Candle Wax, Bakery and Fireplace also have VERIFIED claims of their own, on their pages.

• Garlic: Garlic smells pungent, sharp and savoury, with a strong, almost hot intensity when raw.
• Candle Wax: Candle wax smells soft, waxy and warm, a muted, slightly sweet smell that is quiet rather than strong.
• Hotel Breakfast: A hotel breakfast room smells warm and welcoming, often led by fresh coffee or tea and toasted bread.
• Bakery: A bakery smells warm, toasty and sweet, with fresh bread, browned crust, butter, sugar and a soft trace of flour in the air.
• Fireplace: A fireplace smells warm, smoky and woody, combining burning logs, soft ash and heated stone or metal.
• Cinnamon Roll: A cinnamon roll smells warm, sweet and spicy, with baked dough, melted butter, sugar and cinnamon blending into a soft, comforting aroma.
