Cuties smell delicious. Just hold one close and take a deep whiff. Do you smell it? It smells sweet like a
fresh picked daisy. The aroma is tart and fresh like a crisp piece of paper. It reminds me of my
grandmother’s kitchen; a place rich with the scents of cooking that never failed to comfort me. There is
nothing like the smell of a Cutie.
