Our RL's can log in and see us, listen the music, travel about with us and read what we say to each other. But they can't smell SL. So what does it smell like? My home sim, Yosu, has an earthy, woodland sort of smell, with a whiff of sea air coming up from Hae Hyop Creek. There is also an electrical ozone smell from some glowing crystals and the all the nearby anti-gravity devices. My home itself smells of polished floors and fresh coffee. I'm not really a perfume type so I tend to have a fragrance that is a mixture of Pears soap and orange blossom. Svarga, though a very beautiful place, has a pungent smell of tropical vegetation and seaweed. Meanwhile, sandboxes like Goguen tend to be full of acrid fumes from vehicles, burning debris and deliberately released noxious chemicals. Anyone else got any SL odours to report?

Twinkies and Doritos, except on weekends, when it smells like burnt hamster. okok
Sl would smell like baby diapers, sweaty bodies and polo.

But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

Very interesting when I go somewhere I do let my mind go with it and imagine what a place smells like. I love the woods in there when done so well its very easy to think of the smells.

Regardless of where you are and what it looks like, underneath it all smells like plywood.

Newbies smell like new cars. When the smell goes away, you are no longer a noob.

My gallery smells like cold concrete and wet paint.
My hotel room smells like @#$%
My empty land smells like the ocean.
I probably smell since I hardly ever change clothes.

The Hangout smells like spilled beer, scotch, and sawdust.
My private land smells like alpine meadows, and the skybox above it catches the winds from the mountain range, bringing smells of snow and evergreens.
My shop smells like a dusty Jerusalem market place, with spices, leather, and silk scents commingling with the smell of ancient rock.

In suffugium. Theres the smell of the city, and pollution. In the diner, the smell of toast and burgers. In the strip club the smell of sweat and beer.

I hope my elf self doesn't have body odor, and my hand painted trees and flowers smell good at least to the eyes of those who visit. I am just glad grievers and spammers don't have smell grieving tools.

My house smells like Cedar and fireplace. My hidden forest smells like honeysuckle and early morning mist. My favorite club seems to smell like beer farts and sex most of the time.

A lot of it either smells like bad meat or good cheese.

Dang, I live in a hut with skulls mortared into the walls. Possibly my home smells like death. Damn good thing my sense of smell is missing from the asset server since the 1.8 client was released

It smells like ozone, freshly unpacked vinyl shower curtain liners, the artificial banana stuff they put in orange marshmallow peanuts, and a hint of wet dog.
