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

Still deciding about turf fires - it is definitely a real smell, but, sometimes is so sweet that I find it cloying.
sea air.
baby skin.
Chanel No. 5 - brings my mother back to life.
fresh linen - especially, when I'm lying in it, exhausted after a day of house cleaning.
aftershave on my father's cheek.
my youngest daughter's socks, she's a bit of a wild animal, which I love.
Cut hay but definitely not silage.
Chopped wood.
Wild flower meadows.

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!
