How do you describe…
…the smell of honeysuckle?
In a sure sign that summer is about upon us, the honeysuckle is out all over the yard, and it smells heavenly. It even overpowers the smell of lawn-mowing, no easy task, I assure you.
As I was mowing the lawn, I couldn’t help but wonder, though: how do you describe the smell of honeysuckle? Were you to describe something to me and say it smelled like honeysuckle, I would comprehend your meaning, but I can’t think of any primitives or comparisons I’d use to describe the smell to someone unfamiliar with honeysuckle.
How do you describe that smell?
