TIME OF DAY
Night
Quiet interiors, jasmine, smoke, transit and late-city atmosphere.
What does the night smell like? EDITORIAL
Each line is the entry's own editorial description. Jasmine, Wood Smoke, Old Church, Subway / Metro, Hotel Room and Rain also have VERIFIED claims of their own, on their pages.
- Jasmine: Jasmine smells rich, sweet and lush, with a heady floral intensity and a green, slightly fruity edge.
- Wood Smoke: Wood smoke smells dry, warm and smoky, with a sharp, slightly bitter edge and soft woody sweetness underneath.
- Old Church: An old church smells cool, dry and woody, with polished pews, candle wax and stone forming a calm base.
- Subway / Metro: A metro station smells metallic, dusty and warm, with a slightly industrial, oily note and a stale air that moves in gusts.
- Hotel Room: A hotel room smells clean, soft and fabric-like, mixing fresh linen, cleaning products, carpet and climate-controlled air.
- Rain: Rain smells cool, wet and quietly mineral, with an earthy undertone that seems to hang over soil and pavement once the first drops have fallen.
All 6 entries have VERIFIED evidence of their own; the link to the night is editorial.
