What do you love the smell of?

[CarnageAtTheJanuarySales]

Here are mine 👃.

Sudocrem.

Any kind of bread when it has just come out of the oven ( especially garlic bread)

Rosemary, dried or fresh from the plant

Thyme, dried or fresh from the plant. I grow this sometimes just to smell it 😊.

Can’t think of any more at the moment, so...what are yours?

So, what are yours?

@BaconAndAvocado

This thread is torture for me as since having COVID in November, my sense of smell hasn’t fully returned.

However, my favourite smells were :

Roast lamb cooking in the oven
Basil
Angel
Badedas
Body shop Pink Grapefruit body butter

@BaconAndAvocado, sorry to hear that. I hope your sense of smell returns sooner rather than later 💐

Petrichor is rain on warm pavements or so I thought. It is apparently rain on dry earth.

Thank you @polkadotpjs

My new baby’s nappies - she’s not on solids yet so pees and poos smell all wholesome and amazing- kind of like hollandaise sauce ( I’m a weirdo!).
