What are your favorite smells?

I love the smell of rich vanilla
I love the smell of baking cookies or anything baking for that matter
Salty fresh sea air
Mountain air crisp and clean
The smell of the air right after a snowfall
Smelling the head of a newborn baby
When you first open the windows after a long winter-the smell of Spring
Freshly cut wood
Freshly cut grass
Smell of pizza
Anything (but meat) on the grill
Chocolate
Bourbon
Christmas trees
My DH

What are some of your favorite smells?

My all time favorite scent is petrichor, but the best version of that would be the smell that radiates after rainfall on our desert sands and dirt here in New Mexico. The plants emit their own scented version and it mingles with the smell of wet red and brown dirt and rain.

Its truly different than the smell that emits after rainfall elsewhere. Its hard to describe but very magical.

Ha! I smell that all the time, here in our state! I didn't know there was a name for it.
 
Brewing coffee
Kitty fur, when you bury your nose right in it!
Patchouli

Sounds wonderful. And magical too. I don't think I have ever smelled petrichor but now I want to!
 
Lemon flowers; vanilla; a weed (flower?) that I have no idea what it is, but it transports me way back in time; honeysuckle, lilacs; Jovan's sex appeal for men, musk oil; roses.....

Vanilla
Fresh oranges
Camp fire (yes, even on my clothes after haha)

freshly mown grass tinged with two stroke petrol
which is ironic as we don't mow our lawn because we are trying to do the whole rewilding thing for the bees

the smell of tomatos fresh from the vine and also their leaves

the smell of oilskin raincoats - reminds me of my dad out working in the garden in the rain

the smell of the rain coming on a warm summer day and the smell of the tarmac as rain splashes down on the hot road

the smell of a cat's tummy who has been sleeping in the grass in the sun

even though it gives me terrible hay fevor the smell of hay
and horses .... and cows and sheep for that matter

my Michelia Port wine magnolia

av gas at the airport

the smell of diesel at the petrol station on a humid summer morning

coconut suntan lotion on people

the sea on a frosty morning

coal smoke on a frosty night

bbq chicken

rum ...any kind

before Cadbury did the dirty on my home town the smell of the chocolate factory as it woffted over town - now that just shells like
betrayal to me

the smell of today's newspaper

Aww that's how I feel about the Brooklyn Dodgers. But of course, I digress.

Love the smell of coconut suntan lotion on people. And coal smoke. Delish.

I might be able to find you a perfume with all three if you don't already enjoy one. Yummy all of those.

Babies and apple pie. Both heavenly.

Agreed! Especially freshly baked apple pie. So good. And enjoying it with a sweet (literally and figuratively) baby by our side even better.
 
Victory!
