Favourite Smells

[naomi24]

My postman came the other morning and said I'd made his day.  My tumble drier was wafting his favourite smell - clean laundry - out onto the drive.  He was standing there sniffing the air like a Bisto Kid!  

 

What's your favourite smell?  I plump for vanilla.

Vanilla is also mine. In the Khasi and my car. I do like the Gel air freshner with the Blueberry aroma for the car as well.

[andy-hughes]

Various.

I love the smell of woodsmoke, it reminds me of music festivals.

I also love a variety of perfumes - Poison is my all time favourite, it reminds me of times past.

The smell of a baby's skin is wonderful.

I think the ability of scents to instantly evoke past times in our lives is very powerful.

Rive Gauche.  Sigh

Newly mown grass and entering the perfumery dept. in a large store.

//Newly mown grass//

Crikey. That's enough to get people running for their Beconase and Hay fever pills.i

[naomi24]

Unrequited love, brainiac?

[brainiac]

Oh no, naomi, very  requited.   Two different people, too  :)

Doughnuts

Blackberries

Coffee

Musk

[pastafreak]

Vanilla, freshly baked bread. 

My daughter and I both love the more 'masculine' scents for candles/room fragrance, and even cologne...bourbon, tobacco, sandlewood, oak, moss, musk

[naomi24]

brainiac, not at the same time I trust.  ;o)

[brainiac]

Ha, no - just a coincidence some years later

[Vagus]

Opening a new foil thing of earl grey tea, sticking my nose in and inhaling the aroma.

Vanilla I find very cloying in anything except cakes, if I want a room spray it has to be either linen or seaside.

[calmck]

Coffee. Outdoor dried laundry. Autumn bonfire. The sea in winter

[rockyracoon]

Anything citrusy or lavender.

[Lie-in King]

Fresh tar, creosote.  Bacon, grilled or fried.  Frying onions.  Grilled Cheddar cheese.  Fresh-cut grass.  Petrichor; first rain after a dry spell.  Probably more I can't think of right away.

I used to buy Rive Gauche for both a dear friend & the ex Mrs L-i K & loved the scent.

[Ken4155]

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

At other times, i quite like the smell of white spirits and/or turps

[david small]

Fried onions, fresh mown grass, two stoke petrol, wood fires, linoleum, baked bread, new books.

I have never sniffed a baby’s skin intentionally AH, though with four kids all using Terry nappies I’ve had a few unenviable encounters.

[Countrylover]

Funnily enough Vagus,  my son reckons I'm addicted to Tea bags I always have a sniff in the tin when getting them out. I didn't realise I did that until he told me.   Like Pasta I prefer the smell of mens cologne more than ladies perfumes.  But I do like Armani Code perfume.  I really dislike flowery or sweet smells.

And LIK I like the smell of creosote too!

Patchouli, memories of youth. 🤗
