Anyone know of a word that describes the smell of freshly cut grass?



This has been one of my favorite words of all time and each
time it rains I go outside to revel in the smell and the
word. Thanks for bringing it up.
I work a lot with alcoholics and drug addicts, and many
just got out of prison. When first meeting them and we talk
about their new-found experiences, I always mention the
smell of newly mown grass. Their eyes light up and there
is always an "Oh, yeah, right!".
