I don't know if you're into perfumes, but Lutens' Jeux de Peau does a decent job of that fresh bread scent. I hate jasmine in perfumery. It's bloody stunning when you pass a jasmine hedge. I'll put Toby on my whifflist. There's no such thing as a bad smell.

On my walk currently, I've come across about 3 or 4 rows of jasmine. I don't know if I could identify wisteria. I had a pomelo tree in the back, and some osmanthus at the front. It was ethereal. I've now a mulberry tree, which is fruiting – but that scent is a little too nuanced for me right now.

Her smell is neutral but for some reason Toby omits a really nice, comforting smell. I don't even know where it comes from
He was sleeping on my pillow the other night and he moved to the end of the bed and I went onto that pillow and it was all warm and smelt like pure cosiness

If you're interested in fragrances of these…
Fresh coffee - Kerosene Follow. It's anchored to a conventional structure, so it isn't a heavy one-note gourmand. It can be worn in the warmer weather.
Roses - not really a fan of the note, but Diptyque L'eau de Tarocco is an exceptional rose married to citrus summer frag.
Grass - Profumum Victrix. It throws in the lawnmower.
Rain on hot day - PG Psychotrope. It's rain that can also smell like orange juice -

Same. I'm just drawing on my experiences with the hobby to see if I can come up with something fun and comparable to the real thing. Except Vintage Kouros (pre-Sanofi). That scent is equal to the best fragrances that nature has put out.
