Just been for a walk and remembered how divine oil seed rape smells. I want a perfume or a room spray of it.

And one of dad's garage...oil, wd40, rotten wood, cobwebs etc.

Any niche smells you want bottled?

A mustyold book that's been in the attic.
The smell of my dog's feet.
The smell of new plastic - but a very specific type - like the protective film you get on appliances?
Dirt.

I wish the perfume called New West was still available. It was such a fresh scent.

That plasticky smell of 80s/90s Christmas decorations. Especially the tinsel and those foil things that hung from the ceiling. They smell different these days but I encountered this smell in a shop a few years ago and it took me right back to my childhood Christmases

Library of Fragrance do baby powder and Petrichor as pp has said.
Loads of hyacinth, lily of the valley perfumes around (Yardley and Dior Diorissimo have pure Lily of the valley fragrances)

Maison Margiela Replica do a book one. It's called library something.

BensonStabler · 29/04/2023 20:02

I would be the only one to buy this next scent request, the natural smell of my Mum that was on her favourite silk/satin nightgown when I would throw it on after her when I was a small girl. I was always so comforted by that, and now she has been gone 13 years, I miss her more than ever and could do with that comfort again 🥹💔

Gun oil or chainsaw oil. Obviously spent a lot of time with my father as a child, he still loans me a chainsaw but with regular updates on how to safely use it!!

M&S Vanilla Clouds fabric conditioner.
Sadly discontinued.
It would be a fabulous perfume.
