It reminded me of my college summers where I labored for many hours with an arc welding torch repairing heavy equipment for a small logging outfit. It reminded me of pleasant sweet smelling welding fumes.

Yeh I mentioned this in the last open thread. It is fascinating. I would love a perfume that smells like space- a sweet metallic smell reminiscent of seared steak, hot metal and welding fumes. Get to it Comme de Garcons or Christopher Brosius!
Pretty sure CdG has already done it with Stephen Jones 🙂
