Comforting or familiar smells that I find I enjoy:
Ink
Parchment
Warm Sand
There are a few new scents that I'm growing fond of, but I hesitate to say, yet.

For my part.
Leather and good pipe tobacco.
Coffee and cinnamon.
The river delta after a spring rain.

Scents, then.
The sea. The river where it meets the sea.
Solvent. You get used to it.
The sharp ash-scent of flame.
Damp wood, damp woods, fur and feather.
New-cut cloth.

Vanilla.
Campfires.
Saltwater.
Lemon.
Cedarwood.
Most flowers.
What an interesting game...I wonder what others said for theirs?

Citrus and ginger, particularly when they mingle in fresh steam, with the bitter undercurrents of tea.
Hot, mulled wine.
The scent of the cold wind that races ahead of an autumn storm, heavy with rain and the promise of winter to come.
Freshly mown grass.
Sacred incense.
Fresh, ripe peaches, just cut.
Spiced apple cider, steaming hot.

More typically, I happen to enjoy the scent of outdoors after a good rain. That fresh, clean scent.
Then there is the scent when you are weary from a long day and game hen are roasting in the oven along with root vegetables. Perhaps now I am venturing into the realm of my favorite meal. There is an overlap, correct?

I met with one duke and one duchess. Aside from their respective holdings being wildly apart, the two could not be more different. I found the duchess to be a most serene woman. I imagine she will be as a rock to both her family and her fealty, something no doubt necessary for these tumultuous times. The duke, on the other hand...
Was a perfect delight.
If only the others with whom I scheduled meetings hadn't had to cancel. One after the other. I might have had more to write.

Somehow, the greatest scent to anyone is that person they hold dear, which sounds terribly odd and rather like animals but I am sure there is some truth in it. Laws of attraction, as it were, and scent has the greatest pull. I am sure many have written within the pages of the journals, and smiled knowingly to themselves, noting subtly or otherwise, the defining perfume of that person in their life.
It is just something else that makes them unique to us. Sometimes, it is the hardest perfume to describe.
How does one describe, in full, the clean and natural aroma of a man? Leather; the heat of the sun on his skin; the distant remnants of the lather from when he shaved that morning; the sheen of sweat from work not yet turned stale; or frustratingly the vague telling of a wet dog after he let the little beast in the ocean before it jumped all over him. Or just whatever it is that makes him, him.
On a less romantically philosophical point, I suppose, I like many of the more subtle perfumes for myself. Flowers tangled in spice, as an example.
And I am terribly partial to jasmine which is, above all others, my favourite.

I think my next goal will to make something for each noble household, as a gift. Though, I will have to start throwing money away on a variety of things. I waste the money on whatever since over all silver seems rather useless to me. I am good with just eating fish and baked vegetables.

These aren't scents for a perfume or anything, merely things that make my mouth water. Metaphorically or otherwise.
