I feel I have a very strong sense of smell. This morning at home, I could directly smell a dead rat. Few nights before, when I was in front of my house, I suddenly smelled something like the smell of cow poop while, in fact, I don't have any neighbors who raise cows. My husband jokingly said that maybe there was a ghost passing by because he did not smell anything. A few days ago, while preparing some menus for suhoor, fishy smell of blood struck my nose while I was waking my husband up in our bedroom. Some other ghosts, maybe.☺I once also smelled some random dead animal in the office where I work. At that time, I was the only one who could smell that. When I asked some janitors to search for that smell, they finally found a dead lizard under a cardboard box. The staff sitting near that box amazingly did not smell that dead lizard.
Thanks to my ability to be very sensitive with disgusting odors because I can also feel grateful for my being able to detect nice scents. There are very many kinds of nice scents from flowers to freshly baked cookies. Who doesn't love those scents? Everyone loves them. But I have three favorite scents which I think some persons will love, too.
1. The earthy scent from the rain falling on dry soil
