I actually miss the smell of rain on hot pavement.... We get a lot of rain out here, but mostly in the colder months. It rarely rains when it is really hot (even in the summer if it rains it seems to cool off considerably first).

I can't smell jasmine without thinking about Spain - orange blossoms smell sooooo much like it and we were cycling through orchards of the trees on our first day there.

For some reason cocoa butter reminds me intensely of Christmas (odd huh!) I cannot remember exactly what smelled of it, but I do associate the smell with the year we went to Florida over my Christmas vacation. I was about 8, I think and I got a Merlin (a little electronic toy) as a gift, and a sheet of puffy stickers, one of which was a snake that I stuck on the toy. I feel like its a strange, random thing to remember so intensely......
Eden: cocoa butter; sunbathing, Florida, ???
