Well everything is in bloom here, and the other day at work I found myself at a house that had all their plants labelled. Everyone commented on the strange aroma filling the yard, which definitely came from this one small greengage plum tree (Reine Claudes). They thought it stunk... but I was all

Now I know a lot of indole alkaloids are more likely the culprit, since it's not that uncommon of a smell when roaming about in spring...but I always thought it would be nice to finally identify some of the plants that I've randomly smelled in nature that have that superb DMT type of stank, and this one had it in spades.

It would be fun to identify other plants that have the elf spice odor. It would be nice to analyze it and find out just what chems are causing it to...Maybe it would also make a nice incense. Smell can have a pretty powerful effect on us (was it rosemary that increases memory recall dramatically?), so it might even be a bit useful to build a certain association with the smell outside of DMT use, so that it evokes a more relaxed and familiar sensation while diving into the billows of the hyperplasma.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or found other plants that smell like DMT?

Jasmine smells like DMT too!

it's like playing giant game of hide and seek...

I also couldn't help but notice that from far away the its flowers remind me of crystals forming in my freezer jars...heheh

Clematis armandii overwhelmingly reeks of DMT/indole when in bloom.

Makes sense as indole is part of why many floral scents smell as they do.

I remember that Dennis McKenna, in Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss, talked about a tree that he thought might contain DMT based on the odor it gave off (it didn't). I don't have time to flip through the book right now to find out which tree it was, does anybody happen to remember? If not, I can look it up later.

Star Jasmine has ibogaine in it.

Annual honesty (Lunaria_annua) flowers have a strong smell of indole and used DMT base pipe.

Trypta scents..

This is an off the wall idea ... so forgive me.

Dogs have such an accute and precise sense of smell. What if a hound could be trained to smell DMT for the identification of alternative DMT sources?

I'm not that clear whether identification of sources is a major issue. I know ability to isolate from other toxins and efficient extraction may be more common challenges.

I'm also not clear that mimosa or pharis, for example, would smell of DMT specifically. But wouldn't it be vindicating to leverage natures talents to reveal sources of spice.

2 other off the wall ideas:

See if Hyperspace will give away more plant identities; unlikely as it seems the Universe loves surprises.
If that doesn't work create a piece of technology that can do it for you.

There is a wisteria blooming in my yard, I was shocked at how much it smelled like DMT to me, looked up the volatiles in the flower and found indole listed...

What really made me was when our bosses, Gracie and Zarkov, were repairing their backyard and driveway. As part of that they has a HUGE pile of sand delivered, where it sat, being liberally used by the two family cats . . .after a couple weeks passed, every time I passed that kitty poop enriched pile of sand, I smelled indole/DMT, .

Found one!

great idea!

I don't know if DMT's scent is unique enough to other indole compounds for dogs to distinguish between them. Interesting idea though.

strangely enough ivy does it for me during spring. i've walked past it many times in my home town and thought it smelled strongly of dmt

i dont know about about plants that smell like DMT

but sometimes at work , i work with vulcanised rubber ( a layer on steel wheels) , and it made me think of DMT ,
