The honeysuckle around here doesn't compare- but then, I don't have any in the yard, either. So maybe it is an exposure thing. <br /><br />But what I wonder about is, if in the future, perfumaniacs such as ourselves won't be running around with their own little 'headspace' devices, capturing scented diary images and creating their own little indie, limited run, date/time specific perfumes i.e., your 'Pennsylvania Evening Honeysuckle' or my once-a-year 'Eau de Monsoon Cherry Blossom'-<br />Can you imagine?!<br />:O)XAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294910261057194511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011840457872911681.post-3686778528094952832011-04-03T10:34:56.531-07:002011-04-03T10:34:56.531-07:00Greatly enjoyed reading this thoughtful post. Yes,...Greatly enjoyed reading this thoughtful post. Yes, cherry blossoms in Pennsylvania seem to have little to no fragrance, but I'm now beginning to wonder if it's either the time of day I try smelling them, or like you noted in this piece, subject to weather conditions. (Ours aren't in bloom yet, btw...won't be until May). Might be similar to honeysuckle: often during the daylight hours there's no detectable odor to them. Then I walk by them in the cool of evening, and they are positively wafting their pretty scent!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05613151833847650319noreply@blogger.com
