For a lighter question. What's your favourite smell? I'm pretty sure that Hawaii Jake might agree with me.

My favourite smell is that of plumeria. There is just something so addictive about the smell that I can never seem to get enough of it. I don't mean the artificial perfumes...I mean the real flowers.

We have so many fragrances here in these beautiful islands. It is wonderful. I live in the country, and I usually drive with the windows down. I often get a whiff of wild ginger that is very sweet.





Plumeria is lovely, but many mainlanders find it overpowering when worn as a lei.





Pikake flowers are not seen in the wild that much, but if only one person is wearing a pikake lei in a room, it will fill every nook and cranny. It's a heavy floral scent.





This last one is my favorite.





In any event, the air here often smells of flowers even in the middle of town. It's paradise.





E komo mai. Welcome





Mahalo pumehane. A warm-hearted thank you.
Reply:lilacs. Tied to my first memory,laying in my playpen near an open window, I could see the sun and shadows playing on the wall, see the leaves moving ,hear the the whispering of them, could feel the warmth of the sun on my hand. One of the few times in my life I was absolutely at peace and happy.

Reply:Lilacs remind me of my grandmother when I was a young child. She had a huge garden that was lined with lilacs. I remember playing hide-n-go-seek and hiding in the lilacs.





Honeysuckle reminds me of warm summer nights with a slight breeze to carry the sweetness in the air. Makes me smile just thinking about it.





I was at a dinner party last Saturday night, and my friend has these beautiful terraced gardens. And there was a fragrant mint that was wafting in the evening air while we enjoyed each others company under the beautiful starlit sky. I wonder if anyone else noticed?

Reply:I'd always thought vanilla was a lovely scent. Coco butter too. And sometimes, that weird earthy smell in fall when the maple leaves decompose. That's excellent too. Makes me feel like I'm at home again.
Reply:My favorite smell is the smell of people's hair after they just shampoo.. (Pantene, vidal sassoon, herbal essence... etc they all smell so refresh). Also I love baby smell. All baby smell so good.. but not after they poo...
