Mine are.. a match being lit

A damp airing cupboard! Live in a new build and quite annoyed I can no longer breathe in the smell of a slightly damp but clean towel smell cupboard. Not sure people will understand from the explanation

The smell of those strong antibacterial wipes used to wipe over skin before a needle is inserted

My children's hair after waking up

Fresh plaster, dettol, new books, new car smell, tobacco scented candles

Loose tobacco for pipes and rollies smells lovely. Same for a freshly lit tab. Much nicer than bloody sickly vapes!

When I was pregnant, I had to promise my concerned midwife that I wouldn't drink Pine disinfectant. It was my only craving and it got to the point where I wanted to drink it. It was such a strong feeling!

idrinkandknowthings That interesting as I felt this way about nail varnish when I was pregnant

I would paint my nails and want to dab some nail varnish on my tongue, I didn't but I so so wanted to
