We have a linen closet that for a time in my childhood was emptied out and made to serve as the "Nintendo room", containing an NES hooked up to an old Commodore 64 monitor. I still associate that fabric/crafty smell with 8-bit gaming.
I don't know whether anyone else smells this, because I never hear people talk about it.
Some time in November, no matter the weather, there will be this empty, metallic, crisp, clean burning smell. I usually only catch whiffs of it a few times. It's how I gauge when winter is here.
Maybe this is just how winter smells and I get noseblind to it quickly?
