:)))))  I always say that our fuzzies tails smell just like incense. I
breathe long draughts, then take a whiff of their ears and marvel that
the same animal can have two such "at odds" smells emanating from one
body.
 
It's too late in the season, but next year I'll try and remind people to
go smell a blooming "Pieris japonica" bush, which smells EXACTLY like a
ferret, that musky wafting smell on a hot day after they wake up.  And
there are some daisies that smell EXACTLY like ferrets' ears!  Truly.  So,
of course, what are my favorite flowers?

Thanks, Dede!  For the great laugh.  I've long thought that anyone who
could create a cedar-scented diaper that would stick on a fuzzy boutom
would stand to make millions!
