Describe Snow as a Scent

What Does Snow Smell Like?

---

This week’s Describe *** as a Scent article takes a look at what snow smells like. In reality, snow itself doesn’t really have an aroma but, just like rain gets its scent from its surroundings, so does snow. Plus, if you’re a paid subscriber of Stories of Scent, you’ll know by now that I also factor feelings into a scent (much like a person in my fragrance line).

In this article, we’ll take a look at some different scenarios where the scent of snow may differ - and how to work that into a fragrance with some scent prompts. Winter has arrived!

"Snow provokes responses that reach right back to childhood.”

Andy Goldsworthy, English sculptor and photographer
