Mine is the sweet, sweet air of the conifer forests of the West.

Hmmm, that's actually kinda tough..
I would say it highly depends on where I'm at, like, if I'm by the coast, the fresh sea breeze, slight smell of washed up seaweed, that "dusty" sensation you get in your nose, perfect
But, if its a fall camp, in dense Woods where I swear I can almost smell the moss? Also perfect

Sniffing a freshly plucked chantrelle, eggs on the campfire in the morning.
Don't make me choose man

for me, it's one of two things.

1. the intense petrichor that pervades the air every autumn in New England

2. the late night charcoal smell of a campfire that has stopped burning but is still smoldering

burning gum leaves. Tobacco from a pipe, much nicer than a cig. All my gear is proofed with linseed oil so the smell of that too.

I am going to snag myself some for my tinderbox as we approach the rainy months. I have only been caught out without a fire once and it was bloody miserable!

you should absolutely grab some leaves and even branches to keep dry over winter and roast them when you can. granted, during winter it's not so controversial to burn deadfall, but in summer it's kind of a no-no.

sage is always good, wet, dry, or burning

Rocky Mountains: Pine Needles on the ground
New England: fresh mud and leaves.
Midwest: The smell of horses and cows. (not shit). When you walk country paths between farms you'll always get curious horses and cows coming by and they have a very distinct smell. They smell like a clean animal.
Colorado: Melting Snow. Burned Weed.
California: Sea Breeze

Quoted By:

I was fishing in a dirty creek that usually smells like dead animals and sometimes sewage, a couple days ago. On Thursday, I got an intense smell of a floral hand cream my mom used to use 15+ years ago. I'm in the upper Midwest. The stream just opened up, so nothing is blooming. It's snowing tonight. I freaked out some people as I went in, and the smell was so strong it was as if a woman was right behind me, stalking me. Like I said, dirty creek, and I was in a somewhat industrial area. There is a famous company that makes shampoo and body wash, but they are on the other side of town.
