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

Before half term I bought some Hawian Tropic for my dds first beach holiday without us, just so she can have that ‘summer sun and the thrill of being a teen’smell right into her 50s like I do.

My fave smell are woodsmoke, cut grass and dug soil.

Ohyesiam · 02/06/2019 21:43

Ooh , and line dried cotton sheets.

Eucalyptus, I put a few drops on my pillow most nights.

The radiators when they first up on again in the autumn, makes me feel all cosy and relaxed

Flower smells in the garden, especially evenings when they seem more potent.
The sharp smell of cool air when it is getting to be autumn and a chill creeps in, or warm air in early summer, I think there is a particular smell to these.
When it rains in summer after a hot, dry spell.
The cats paws, they smell of grass where he's been stomping about and of cat. I like the smell of his breath, it smells of animal.
New carpets.
