Friendship smells like: Warm amber. I think about hugging a friend, and amber gives you that same warmth and comfort you feel in an embrace.Regret smells like: The one that got away.

My partner is a doctor and we were just talking about the smells of a hospital the other day, and he mentioned the smell of death. And I said, “What is that like for you?” And he said it smells like rotten meat. That instantly made me nauseous, and I think we can all identify with smelling something like that.
