Mine are sniffing the bottle of toasted sesame oil, just love it!
And then Barbour wax jacket smell makes me feel I'm cuddling up to my lovely DH on a cold day.

My OH when he holds me, he always smells clean, sexy and like 'home.'

Clean laundry, the kind you can smell when you walk into the house.

Homemade chapatti's, makes me think of my childhood.

And last but not least, my freshly bathed children. Note the freshly bathed.

Oh and cut grass

Chanel Sycomore. It is without doubt my favourite smell in the world. I want to bathe in it, which is slightly weird!

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 16/04/2019 21:34

The smell of the bit where DH's neck meets his shoulder, it's probably either aftershave or soap
Frankincense makes me feel relaxed and sleepy
I don't normally like perfume but Roger et Gallet do one called Bois d'Orange which is delicious
Savoury dishes with alcohol, I do an orange and bourbon chicken thing that always smells as good as it tastes
