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?

The smell on your skin after you’ve been out in the sun for a while.
Yes!!!!

Fresh washing straight off the line
Fresh cut grass
Sea air

And yes, that smell of school!
Love the DC’d smell of nursery and the primary.
And my own (ancient days) smell of wac crayons in school.

Fresh basil, cut grass, summer rain on hot tarmac, bonfire on an autumn day.
The next one isn't really a smell but a very crisp, frosty winters morning. The air just smells so fresh, it's hard to describe really.
I'm sure there is more I will think of.

My DD, she's always smelled like honey, literally since birth. Sometimes it's so strong it's almost floral. Weird.

Ooh and cigars

And pencil sharpenings

Both of those remind my of my very dear grandad.

Another petrichor

Weirdly I love the smell when they are doing the fields and also creosote but it doesn't smell like it used to

Dog's paws
Freshly struck matches
Coffee smells better than it tastes, to me

Freshly cut grass
Freshly cut wood
Log fires

Freshly washed clothes
Rain on dry tarmac
Blown out matches

I love the smell of creosote and tar, fresh bread as it's cooking, cut grass, and babies when they have just had a bath, and bacon as it's cooking. I also like the smell of coffee but hate the taste.

And when ddog was a puppy - he smelt like coffee and popcorn.

The milky smell of a newborn

Most cleaning products, soap, bleach, Milton, washing powders/liquids/conditioners. Also TCP and Dettol (the brown one).

Baby oil, talcum powder, sudocream, Nivea, baby shampoo.

Hair dye. Nail polish. Nail polish remover.

I also like the smell of most plug in air fresheners, especially the strong citrus smelling ones (I usually like anything with limonene in).

I hate the smell of incense, smoke especially cigarette smoke but also cannabis, coal, etc. I don't mind wood burning so much.

Petrol and other solvent smells.

Fresh paint.

I don't like the smell of cut flowers, pot pourri, anything musty or damp smelling. Yuck.

I love the smell of onions, leeks and garlic cooking, cinnamon, mixed spice and ginger, roast chicken, bacon, rosemary, sage and thyme.

I also love anything minty. Mmm.

Petrol
Nail polish remover

I kind of understand why glue sniffing was popular

Pine trees during the evening in a hot country. Coffee ,and most of all the smell of my gorgeous grandchildren .
