answer:I think it depends on what it is. Cigarette smoke, if you’re walking past smokers or in a room with it, even for a very brief time, yes. Sometimes the bathroom at work smells like shit and I won’t go in it because I don’t want that smell on my clothes. Sometimes at work my boss puts fish in the microwave, and then he sprays this weird smelling room spray to try to get the smell out of the room the microwave is in. I won’t go in there because I don’t want my clothes to smell like either the fish or the room spray. There’s probably a scientific reason why some aromas will permeate and linger and stick to clothes and hair, and others, not so much. I don’t think freshly cut grass will. I read somewhere that coroners have the smell of death on them when they go home. I know people who cook will have the smell of the food in their clothes and hair. My grandmother used to cook a lot and she’d ask me to smell her hair, to see if it needed to be washed (in the days when people didn’t always take showers every day), and the cooking smells would make her hair smell.
