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?
