What’s your favourite simple smell?

I have gnocchi bake in the oven right now but all I can smell is the absolutely divine smell of fresh rosemary smoking on top.

I don’t think I will ever tire of that smell.

What are your favourite ‘simple’ smells? Natural, non-processed or manufactured smells?

black current bushes

Lime and tomato plants

Vanilla is my favourite

Vanilla.

Daisy. The flowers. I loved the loves me, loves me not candle but it's no longer made

Roses and my dog's feet!

What is it about petrol I wonder. I absolutely love it. Each time I was pregnant I craved the smell. Still love it, decades later. I love filling up the car and having a good sniff. If I’m a passenger and the driver stops to fill up, I wind the window down and sniff for all I’m worth!

Me too. Although I was just going to say "wet soil". I had forgotten it had a lovely name.

Yes to creosote. The smell of warm creosote and privet hedge blossom- walking home from school in the summer.

Doughnuts frying by the seaside in the early evening as it's getting cool.

Roast aubergines.

Blackberry jam being boiled.

Freshly picked lavender and mint and lemon balm.

Oh I remember that smell from when I had horses. There's nothing like it. Happy days

My labradors paws 🐾

Coconut. The smell of summer.

This is very random, but my DC’s heads, especially my 4 year old!

Onion, garlic and butter in a sauté pan.

Lemon verbena leaf crushed in your hand.

BBQ coals.

Muck spreading, weird hey.

My mum makes crab apple jelly and it takes me back to being a wee girl and having some on a toasted soda for breakfast!

The smell of bacon cooking. I also love the smell of toast!

I used to live on cliffs above the sea so I love the smell of salt air and also the smell of whin bushes in bloom. Also the smell of freshly gathered bales of hay! All of these remind me of being a kid!

Definitely a newborn baby, I had a cuddle with one recently for the first time in years and he smelt beautiful, why do they smell so good?

Freshly cut grass

Lavender plants

Line dried washing

Vine tomatoes

Clean washing from the line outside.

Citrus, grass, wood

Line dried washing
Fresh mint (reminds me of Mum making mint sauce on a Sunday morning)

Woodsmoke.
fresh laundry after being outdoors ❤️

The smell of my border collie when he was soaking wet. I was really upset that when he died I’d never smell it again. I got another border collie and she smells the same (happy days). My other dog smelled completely different and not as good!
