Why are most of the world’s best smells never made into perfumes?

Betty Mae Bop asked:


I love nature smells. Dew, trees, different plant smells, fishing, fall leaves, and I know I’m leaving a ton more out. I also love the smell of chlorine, cloved apples, Christmas trees, campfires, cookouts, certain building smells like the smell of Grandma’s garage…but you never see any perfumes of these scents, do you?
Haha. That’s funny. “Grandma’s Garage”. i wonder how that would sell.
It’s just funny though-why are only certain smells preferred on a person?

    While those smells are very nice, do you think they would smell good on a person? I love nature, and memories in smells, but I wouldn’t fond it attractive to have my crush smell like a campfire.

    Perfumes are supposed to be sexy, and appealing, those smells are for air fresheners.

    my most favorite smell is the smell of flowers of a grape vine. it is very delicate and you have to stick your nose into it but it smells better than anything.

    Just because scrambled eggs and honey ham smell good doesnt mean anyone wants to walk down the street smelling like sunday breakfast. IE leave the smell where it belongs unless you would actually wear the things that make the smell, like flowers.

    I like the smell of a nude man’s chest and neck when he just took a shower.
    I like the smell of carne asada tacos
    the smell of the sea
