I've never been to India, but my family is from Brazil and there's definitely a scent to my family's hometown (warm, sweet, earthy and green--sort of a combination of eucalyptus and the ocean.)<br /><br />I can definitely picture the color you describe and I think I can imagine what that smells like like too. Thanks so much for sharing!Gabriela Pereirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007834914023986058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021826296342479548.post-31655719786108362842010-07-23T23:55:52.199-04:002010-07-23T23:55:52.199-04:00This one was easy for me, because I just got back ...This one was easy for me, because I just got back from India two weeks ago, and India definitely has a distinctive--not bad, just musty-- smell. It infiltrated my wardrobe while I was there and forced me to rewash all my clothes as soon as I got back to the States! It brings back vivid memories of my grandparents, which, of course, are always welcome.<br />The smell's colour would be the bright saffron of marigolds and holy robes found all over India, but dustier due to the pollution and dirt surrounding the city. Sepia-ish, but a little lighter perhaps?Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894071895696827293noreply@blogger.com
