NEW ORLEANS—
GQ Magazine sniffed out the top ten best smelling cities in the world and New Orleans ranks near the top.
GQ puts the Crescent City at number three overall. 
The review from Globe-trotting scent critic Chandler Burr reads:
“In my opinion, you could win the debate over whether Florida is part of the South just based on its smell. (It's not.) Meanwhile, New Orleans exudes the South's signature perfume from every street corner. It's a thick, soporific scent of humidity penetrating wood porches and plaster walls; dead moss; and the Mississippi's fresh water colliding with the brine of the Gulf. Old beer, frying fat, mud, and lush grass are all in there, too.

10. Dallas
9. London
8. Mombasa
7. Mumbai
6 Bogota’
