for me, the scent of steam punk is oiled leathers, grease, tea leaves cinamon, and the damned pipe tobacco smell i cant get out of my top hat.

This is absolutely fascinating! I must agree that everyone else has pretty much summed it up with their contributions. :>

Ballon fuel, heady exotic spices, fog of a jungle I am about to explore, and copper!

For me?
Honestly, it probably doesn't smell good at all.
Think about the time period, nothing smelled good

Hmm, I'd say burning wood, leather, maybe the smell of copper, gun or flash powder...
And really, steampunk is a fantasy genre, imagine it any time period you want, or imagien cleanliness became more important earlier ^^

Dirt.
Then again, to me, everything in the world should smell like dirt. I love dirt.

yay dirt, does smell especially good when it's just rained.
For me it's leather/fur and burning pine wood. Old books and tea.

Pipe smoke, earl grey tea, roses, sun dried linens, old books, wood smoke....there are so many different scents that can evoke the 'steampunk' atmosphere.

walk into a...
antique store that hasn't been dusted in years. pick up a leather bound book printed before 1940. open. breath deep.
a cigar or a tea shop with glass jars. The Pike Place Market in Seattle WA.
a blacksmith's shop. hot brass and steel. smelted iorn and oxidised copper.
oiled and drying leathers.
colour dyes- especially blues, they smell aweful.
gun oils.
kerosene.
formaldehyde and embalming liquids.
fog rolling in off the water at 5:00 am.
burning coal ash, flint and sulphur. thick enough to make you choke.
a horse stable. "road apples" in puddles on cobblestone walkways.
And the taste of brine-y saltwater.

Being a traveller I like what Amethyst hit on: spices.
I think leather and sawdust is a good base, but I would personally enjoy accents of cinnamon and ginger.

well if you read the article in the original post, it was mentioned.
That's also not the point of this thread. We're not talking about existing products.
