Scent abroad

Hi all! I'm back from a 2-week trip to Germany and Switzerland! Hope you all have been doing well in my absence and look forward to hearing all the great ways you've been sparking your senses.

One thing I noticed while in Munich was the popularity of the scent of sandalwood in Munich. I lost count of how many people I passed smelling like it, or who pretty much introduced their arrival with it, from 20+ steps away. It’s not overpowering, just evident, even from far away. Just found that interesting!

    what are some different scents you notice more while traveling than you do back at home?

    My cousin and her son just got back from visiting Munich and Zurich and they had such a great time. I'll have to ask her about smelling sandalwood. Going there to see the Christmas markets in now on my to-do list! Hope you had a great time!

    Thanks Susan, we did have a great time and I hope you do too! I'm sure the Christmas markets are a great must-see!
