If you could be surrounded by only one smell for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Ok, I'm having trouble with this for 2 reasons.  First, I'm not sure that I would want to be SURROUNDED by any smell constantly and forever.  Second, even if I was, I know that the longer one is exposed to a smell, the less senstive you become to it.  So being surrounded by a favorite smell, would actually deprive you of the pleasure of sensing it in time.
All that to say this...the way french fries used to smell outside the concession stand of my grandparent's drive-in theatre when I was a kid.  
Now, can I ask what all these questions are leading to??

[off topic]
All pronouns come in three flavors: subjective, possessive, and objective. For example, we have he, his, and him respectively. And, yea, we also have who, whose, and whom. When in doubt about which to use, just substitute all of your who flavors for the appropriate he flavors, and let your ear decide.

"From he to he?" Nope, doesn't sound right.

"From he to him?" Still doesn't sound right.

"From him to him?" Okay, that sounds pretty decent.

Ergo, the correct form would be "From whom to whom?"

Definitely roses, old ones that is.
There's nothing better smelling than those old beautiful flowers. That's why I have loads of them in my garden.
