Another slightly odd lighthearted thread!

I've realised that I really love the smell of dust burning on a radiator Blush

Anyone else?

Weed. Not the garden type. The smoking type. Love it. A neighbour smokes it and I love sitting in the garden with the odd waft.

Bleach love that too.

My 11 month old daughter. She smells like washing powder, aveeno and cheese and it's just the best smell!

Hardware stores, love them.

Garages and tool sheds. It’s that musty smell when there is loads of ‘stuff’

The smell and softness around a horses nose/mouth and the tickle of their whiskers.... in fact the smell of horses and ponies generally....

Petrol - when I was a kid. Doesn't seem to smell the same now.
Burnt match.

There was a pony I used to ride who had the thickest tail and mane , cobby piebald so it suited her . She could move like shit off a shovel so when her neck sweated it smelled of pure powerful love-for-life animal ..
