What’s your favourite simple smell?

[Mildandcreamyricotta]

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?

agree with boiling blackberries,

Tomato plants in a hot greenhouse.

Petrichor, and cooked beetroot in the sealed packet.

Babies heads
Vanilla
The smell of the almond method floor cleaner and the ylang ylang bathroom spray
The smell of ds's dogs paws
Fresh clean washing that's been dried on the line
Malted milk biscuits

Cigarettes and petrol 🥰 don’t have either around me much - smelled a cigarette at the pub the other day and my friend and I both realised how rare that is these days! But I looooove them both. Have never smoked in my life!

Also Dill.

Puppies, sort of biscuity scent they have is❤️
Freshly mown grass, all day long: gorgeous!

My horses’ breath.
Roses.
Coffee beans.

New babies’ heads, too.

Puppies
Bacon
Cut grass
Roses
Mint leaves

Hot water bottle

Patchouli

Totally agree with creosote. It reminds me of visiting my granny. She had a wooden summer house.

Also love the smell of jet fuel.

Basil, coriander and dill.

The smell you used to get from Christmas trees.

Anything cooking in lots of garlic and onions.

Newly cut grass.

The smell you get when you eat an oyster. Reminds me of the sea.

Seaweed.

nail polish

My dogs paws

Vanilla

Evening air. Im not sure what it is exactly, but its different compared to the day.
I also like lavender oil and roasted rosemary.

Cucumber

Honeysuckle, warm pine trees, Christmas trees, coconut.

English country churches.

Escallonia.

Vanilla

Swimming pools.
My mum’s kitchen when she bakes gingerbread.

Freshly cut grass

Oh yes, Devon violets perfume. Not sure if its around now but reminds me of my lovely nan who died in 1979

Woodsmoke and petrichor. Both lovely, Autumnal smells.

I totally agree with the smell of horses. I used to have riding lessons as a child and teenager and I remember standing in the stables, laying my head against a horse's neck and feeling completely calm.

My favourite manufactured smell is baby powder. I absolutely love it and have some perfumes specifically because they remind me of that scent.
