the smell


I have often been accused of being "weird" about my sensitivity to the way things smell. A perfect example is how I love the smell of denim production.  First there is the smell of the denim fabric as it is rolled out on the table for cutting.  Rich and earthy and very distinctive.  Raw denim.  Then there is a smell on the factory floor which starts with denim but is often mixed with human work odors.  Not the prettiest scent but denim was made to go with sweat.  Then there is the smell of the laundry.  Here the flavor is usually bleach or some variant.  You probably think this is weird too.  Maybe its an acquired taste.
