What is your favourite smell? ...

Lilacs are my very favorite scent. Not that icky lavender but fresh from the bush lilacs.

Also love the smell of bread baking. Well, most any baked goods baking that is. :D

Coffee grounds, the smell of shoe stores and Vanilla. :) I also like the smell of gas sometimes lol. Yes, I'm weird. I never got why people think flowers smell good, YUCK, they smell horrible to me or do not smell like anything at all. I also like the smell of some book pages, they smell pretty good to me, I don't know why but its only some pages, and OH fried chicken!!

Mint. Especially chocolate mint candy. I can sit and sniff the empty wrapper for hours. :o :D

There are so many scents I enjoy, but the few that came to mind right away were:

- The air outside when it rains, especially in spring.
- Lavender, leaves and flowerbuds, Russian sage has a similar scent to me
- Book pages
- Pine/cedar/woodsy smells

Just took a fall walk with the dogs last weekend and entered an area with a lot of pine trees, there were tons of pinecones and damp pine needles on the ground, it smelled so wonderful.

Anything baking in the oven....
Ragu slowly cooking on the stove....
My doggies, even when they are dirty...
My hubby. :)

The smell of any food I like baking....especially cookies. :D Or the smell of food cooking when you walk into a restaurant, mmm.
My dogs, especially right after a bath, I love the smell of their fur, I like frito feet too ;)
Mountain air...wildflowers...pine trees...rain...leaves...sagebrush...basically any "outdoors" smell
Campfires

As for actual perfumes I rarely wear any, if I do its a light body spray, I don't like strong perfumes (on me, it doesn't bother me if others have it on)...I tend to like ones that smell like vanilla or fruit.

Good thread!

I love the smells of lilacs, lavender, and jasmine.
Food baking in the oven, like cookies or pies or cakes or pizza!! :love:
Crisp mountain air
Rain
The air right after a fresh snow

My favorite smell is Cinnamon.. I LOVE cinnamon candles, or incense etc.

My room smells just like a huge cinnamon candle.. I usually either have a candle burning, or I have some sort of air freshener that I spray in there.

One of my neighbors was just smoking a cigar outside. It smelled wonderful as it wafted in here (not so much when they smoke cigarettes...blech).

I remember years ago when i was a smoker, (dare i say it) my workmate used to smoke a pipe , i loved the aroma of his tobacco, mind you i know i would hate it now, cannot stand the smell of any smoke.

I love the smell of raisin toast cooking, actually any toast cooking is nice,and i love my husbands after shave,it is not expensive, just black suede by Avon, he kisses and hugs me goodbye in the mornings and i can still smell it on my clothes, hmm i love it. lol:):D

Oh dear. This reminds me that when I smell pipe smoke, part of my brain says "that smells good," and the rest of my brain says, "No, it does not. You're thinking it smells good because it reminds you of Uncle Jake. But Uncle Jake's wife died of lung cancer, and he died of a stroke not long afterwards, and if weren't for the fact that they both were smokers, maybe they would still be here today."

We miss you Uncle Jake and Aunt Dotty!

Logan's feet (yummy Fritos)
A baby after a bath (I'm a neck nuzzler)
Lily of the Valley and honeysuckle (childhood memories)
gasoline (yay! I'm not alone!)
Turkey cooking on Thanksgiving (can't wait!)

I love that smell too! Living at home, growing up, smelling the fresh bedsheets, blankets and towels. Ahhh! Of course I had to toss the towels in the dryer to get them less crispy from the air, lol. I hate rough towels.

My mom asked me why I didn't want to dry my sheets and towels outside where I live now. I don't think I'll ever want to sniff a sheet or towel and say "MMMMMM... EXHAUST!" :p ;)
