Wind Smell

noun
The scent that sticks to your body after spending a lot of time in windy conditions. It is the most noticeable in longer hair because they are lifted up and stroked more by the wind. The smell itself could be described as energetic and youthful.

smell the coffee

When you hustle all day, keep working like crazy and are in execution mode 24/7, you often forget to recognise the amazing things you've built and done along the way.

That's when you need to take some time, reflect, recharge and be proud of what you've achieved: That's "smelling the coffee", or "smell the coffee".
"I've been working non-stop on these projects for the last quarters! It's crazy!"
"You should definitely take some time to reflect. Take a step back! Don't forget to 'smell the coffee'..."!
