Lawn order


The smell of freshly cut grass means spring is finally on its way. Time to dig out the scythe and get in the swing, says Monty Don



All over the country the air is thick with the song of a thousand lawn mowers. The grass is lapping ankles and the first wands of spring sunshine trigger the internal lawn mower in every manly chest. This is not gardening, this is manhood and conquest and the solemn rituals of atavistic rites of spring. Mock if you wish, but tread softly because grass cutting in general and the first cut of the year in particular are things that should be celebrated.
That first tang of mown grass, the intense distillation of new green, is pure intoxication. You cannot cheat this. It does not work in November or January. You have to have some heat from the sun, spring growth and a certain quality of light to make that fragrance. And a lawn mower. Scissors would not do the trick. The grass has to be crushed as well as cut. The combination of blades whizzing round, either cylindrically or horizontally, and a roller following in their wake, squeezing the last trace of fragrance and imposing lines across the landscape of uniquely satisfying order. Stripes work. However much you throw the accusation of a bourgeois, philistine aesthetic, there is an unarguable universal truth: a lawn articulated by alternating stripes of flattened grass makes the world a better place.

As it turns out, the molecular structure of the chlorophyll is similar to that of the "heme-" portion of hemoglobin (i.e., blood), except that the latter contains iron in place of the magnesium found in chlorophyll.

Now fresh cut grass doesn't smell exactly like blood, but you can see the relationship. They both smell sharp, acrid, and a bit metallic. That's because they share a similar molecular structure, based around magnesium (chlorophyll) or iron (hemoglobin)

According to the Associated Press news agency, the only scent to win EU trademark protection so far is the smell of freshly cut grass.

The smell was registered by a Dutch perfume company that uses it to give tennis balls their aroma.
