Cats' heads - one of my parents' cats smells like sunshine Grin Apparently scientists are working on replicating the smell of a kitten's head!

I love the smell of the DC's heads; they're 10 and 5 and I still maintain that I could pick them out in a blindfold test. They just smell 'mine'.

I love the smell of limes and coriander. And the top of my dog's head. Except when she's rolled in questionable substances on walks, then she smells like arse.

My old dogs paws were like some kind of up market Doritos perfume.

Another one for creosote here too!

Takes me back to hot childhood summers with baking Tarmac, warm earth and freshly-creosoted fences. Yummy!
