Freshly baked Bread
Clean sheets
Roast dinner cooking
Italian restaurants wafting garlic on a warm summer evening in Rome

I agree Smile

Little baby's hair (not that mine is little any more) freshly washed... heaven.

Does his head still smell lovely Smile

Brand new newborn smell

Best ever

--6 years since my last sniff-

NoelHeadbands · 06/01/2017 21:16

Well yeah it's nice, but no the best smell is petrol Smile

FFS' never been able to do cross out before and this is the tread it decides to work

Ok a weird one, but I love the smell of the upstairs of our house after we've had a roast dinner in the winter.

It reminds me of being a kid and on a Sunday after dinner I'd go upstairs to read my book and it would be all warm and cosy with the heating on and the smell of the dinner lingering.

I love smelling it in our house, it makes me want to disappear with a book under a Care Bear duvet. Smile

A horse's muzzle is best

Zoflorabore · 06/01/2017 21:20

Definitely petrol, followed by dettol, and proper furniture polish :)

Soubriquet · 06/01/2017 21:27

New born baby smell

I also love the smell of dog/cats paws. It's like popcorn

WeedlesHatOfDisappointment · 06/01/2017 21:38

He's in his basket next to me, and still smells lush.
Chips though......

I need to smell potatoes at the moment Blush weird pregnancy cravings

thecatsarecrazy · 06/01/2017 21:57

The popcorn smell on dogs feet is caused by bacteria

JaneJeffer · 06/01/2017 21:59

Fresh Tarmac is the best.

Soubriquet · 06/01/2017 22:00

Still smells nice though Grin

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 06/01/2017 22:05

Sharpie. Or nail polish remover.

LynetteScavo · 06/01/2017 22:10

No one is to mention newborn baby smell. It's so special and I may never smell it again. Sad

Baking bread and cut grass and fresh cement and melted chocolate. Smile

All gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as a baby.

kel12345 · 06/01/2017 22:13

Fresh cut grass, petrol, homemade chips, or frozen chips done in the fryer, bacon and sausages (well a fried breakfast, burgers. And I agree with a just bathed baby.

Macsmurray · 06/01/2017 22:21

Bacon 🥓!
