We've seen those candles that smell like states--the perfect gift for transplants who are often homesick.

But what if we could just as easily hang up a map and scratch-n-sniff new places along with our sentimental ones?

Minnesota: Icicles on your nose hairs.

Trees

Cedar, petrichor, and weed.

(Technically I live inCanada, but I'm pretty sure this all applies to Washington state too)
