    That's funny because I can't stand the smell of flowers/plants, coffee, or any perfume that I've ever smelled.

    My favorite smells are cats (yes, I'm a cat huffer! ) campfires, fresh air, and "Very Sexy" men's cologne from Victoria's Secret. I'm a sucker for a good smelling guy, lol.

    Coconut, pineapple, vanilla, patchouli, freshly cut grass, the ocean, baby powder, puppy breath, rain, musk, Obsession for men.

    Also, my odd-ball favorite .... drilling mud. For those of you not employed in the energy extraction fields, drilling mud is a very heavy substance that is used in oil or gas drilling wells. I love the smell of it, because my dad was a drilling foreman, and was away working on the rigs a lot when I was a kid. I LOVED it when daddy came home! And he always came in the door smelling like drilling mud. That smell always takes me back to childhood, and reminds me how much I miss and love my dad.

    I like the smell of gasoline too. But I was to say it. LOL
    The vanilla I like is what you cook with. Bruce's mom got me some pure vanilla once while she was on vacation (and I can't remember where), it was the BEST smell ever!!! And of course it's all gone.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Freshly baled hay.
    Fresh cut grass.
    Firewood or chimney smells in winter.

    I remember having this "thing" for the exhaust of my one boyfriend's jeep when I was younger. It was just the way his CJ and he smelled. Kinda like the gas thing, lol.

    Love fresh baked yeast bread smells.
    Certain men's colognes.

    Many baked goods - the smell of cookies, bread or apples with cinnamon while baking ...

    Lilacs, though I cannot inhale too deeply, as I'll sneeze ...

    The air after a thunderstorm ...

    Ocean air ...

    The smell of fall leaves and the hint of woodsmoke in the air ...




    (Just a hint, any stronger than that and I wheeze.) No perfumes, as I am allergic to 99% of them - One I remember specifically, a guy friend once had been given a sample vial and wore Drakkar Noir when a group of us went out to dinner, and I ended up wheezing so badly I could not eat ... The smell of gasoline gives me a splitting headache, and I have strong allergic reactions to most cleaning products, and anything with ammonia.

    Chimney smoke, especially the sweet smell that some wood burns. Not sure what kind of wood that is but every now and then I smell it.

    Mulchy leaves in fall.

    The ocean.

    Orange blossoms.

    Chamomile tea.

    Lilacs.

    I absolutely love the smell of old books, the really old ones at the library or at the used book shops. It's kind of musty but not like any other musty smell I've ever smelled. First thing I do when I crack open an old book is sniff it

    Another weird one is the smell of horses. I LOVE the smell of horses. When I've been petting them, I always wash my hands, but I prefer not to use a perfumy soap so that I can smell the horse smell on my hands for a while, til it wears off. No other animal smells like a horse and I can't get enough of it.

    I also love the smell of lilacs, coffee (but hate the taste), and I love the smell of beer (but also hate the taste). Lots of other smells I like, but those are probablly the most uncommon.

    You named all of my favorites except for two. I used to hang sheets out on the line to dry and when I would go out to bring them in I would bury my nose in them for a quick sniff (so the neighbors couldn't see me ). I also love the smell of Thanksgiving, whether it is here or at a relative's house. It is the only time of year that turkey smells fill the house. YUM!

    I'll have to agree with everyone else and say lilacs in addition to my previous post... those are by far my FAVORITE flowers in the summer. =]

    And you gotta admit, that "baby" smell is also really nice... lol I'm hoping you moms out there know what I mean!
