I don’t even know what you would call this scent, except a cacophony of humanity. Whenever I’ve gone to a concert , I’ve noticed a mixture of smells, that always end up smelling almost exactly the same at every concert I’ve ever been too. It’s kind of good and bad and subtle and overwhelming all at the same time. But it always says “Wow, I had a great time at a concert tonight!” smell to it. It’s a combination of men’s and women’s cologne, male and female brands of deoderant, clove cigarettes, nachos, beer (occasional pot smoke) gum, spilled coca cola and PHEROMONES! I’ve never smelled that same combo of smells anywhere else, and although it’s not always the nicest smell, it always makes me happy when I do smell it. It’s the smell of rock and roll!!!
I also love the smell of the county fair, which includes the PO’s example of horse poop, mixed with rotting garbage, nachos (God, why are nachos always involved with my fantatsies?) damp earth, cotton candy and cinnamon rolls, greasy onion rings, patchouli oil, piggy barns, chow mein noodles, chlorine from the hot tub displays, fudge, barbecue, more rotting garbage and poop from llamas, chickens and cows, spilled beer, vomit (from the midway rides) stale popcorn, dust and tar from the parking lot, diesel fuel from the shuttle buses, baby powder from all the little kids, corn dogs, cloves (once again, only this time from wanna be 80’s kids) more rotting garbage, warm ranch dip, more barbecue and funnel cakes. This is what the county fair is all about!
I also like the smell of slightly over ripe dogs and cats that are in need of a bath. God love them!
