I love the smell of tennis balls. Incredibly random smell to like! Grin what slightly unusual smells do you love?

DP's head when he's been to the Turkish barber for a shave.

Myusernameismud · 02/06/2019 21:21

Bezalelle does he smell a bit like lemons? DS has a lemon cologne sprayed on him when he's been to the Turkish barbers and I sniff him everytime he walks past Grin

I love the smell of flux, the stuff that plumbers use to join copper pipes. It's a horrible smell really, but my beautiful DDad was a plumber before he died, and it reminds me of school holidays when he used to take me along on jobs with him. I cried my eyes out the first time I caught a whiff after he had died, and the poor plumber who was putting my new water tank in didn't know what on earth was wrong!

Myusernameismud · 02/06/2019 21:36

There's a perfume from lush that's meant to smell like petrichor. I want to buy it, but it's only available online and I'm scared I'll spend 50 quid on something that smells grim!

Yinyen · 02/06/2019 21:39

Oh my dog's paws. So delicious.
