«Kaliningrad perfumers decided to develop a collection of fragrances that will symbolize different regions of Russia. The authors of the project suggest that the smell will become one of the elements of the region's identification. The perfume will be sprayed in museums, public places, exhibitions so that people remember the smell and then use it to remember the place they visited. And, of course, perfumes will be a new souvenir,» noted the compilers of the rating.

So, the most attractive for Russians was the smell of Yalta, for which 29% of respondents gave their votes. Travelers believe that the city smells like pine needles and the sea. The second place is occupied by the smell of Sochi magnolia - 20%. St. Petersburg (17%) closes the top three with the aroma of water and cold.

“Kaliningrad is characterized by the smell of marzipan, the Curonian Spit, amber and old Koenigsberg, Moscow smells of a metro, construction and fast food, Samara smells of the Volga, Zhiguli beer and chocolate,” the organizers of the survey said.
