The smell of a specific spice called Rajah, and the smell of burning pap. Its corn maize made into this smooth, mashed potato type of consistency staple.

It’s the smell of a bread. We called it “Pandesal” and everytime we used to smell it, reminded me of my country.

The smell of rain. That distinctive earth smell after it rains reminds me of home. Think it's called petrichor. 🤔

The smell of rain, the smell of wet grass. It may be strange but everytime that rain is about to fall I remember home. Mostly it's because it rains a lot in my hometown.
