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.
