To say there is no better smell...

[WeedlesHatOfDisappointment]

Than a baby fresh out the bath?
I can't stop sniffing 5 month old ds....

mylittlephony that's mine too. Nothing beats that.

Roasting coffee beans, coffee brewing.

My grandad had one of those odd grandad-type sayings: "Smells like a lot of broken glass, son". Usually when somebody had made a very anti-social bodily smell.

Horses and tack rooms full of beautiful clean tack (all hung up properly). I wish Yankee made that candle.

No smell like a babys smell its magical

Kittens and cats, especially their paws.

Freshly ground coffee, methylated spirits, ether, nail polish, my cat's fur, fresh herbs, lavender plants, When I was young walking through town my DM had to drag me past pub cellar doors in the street because I loved the warm malty/hoppy smell of the beer.

Going out very early in the cool of the morning on a lovely summer's day when it's been very hot for a while.
Freshly ground coffee.
A beautiful crisp but fine autumn morning with a hint of woodsmoke in the air.

A new carpet.
A new car inside.
Creosote.
Permanent marker pen.

Creosote.

I read this yesterday --and it made me cry because hormones.

"When perfectly dry, his flesh sweet and pure with the exquisite lustre imparted by the bath and friction, he is the most kissable object in nature."

Literally the thing I am most looking forward to about imminent arrival of DC2 is getting another hit of newborn smell.

Paint
Carpet shops
Kittens. (The smell like candy floss)
Blown out candles
Lavender
Sunflowers perfume
Newly cut grass
Books, magazines
Bread being baked.

"Creosote" me too! Thought I was weird for this

Body shop used to do a lovely tea rose perfume in the 80's

Brasso long story!

The poster who said they'd never get to smell newborn baby again can I ask why? I'm guessing your own children getting older? But there's also grandchildren and nieces and nephews and friends children.

The argos catalogue
The old dance mat I had when I was a kid that was probably some sort of toxic plastic but I loved the smell everytime we got it out of the box

Winter morning Zoflora!

Ohh except a baby fresh out the packaging. Mine is 5 mo and I remember how lovely he smelled, it was addictive. I still sniff him constantly now. May have licked his head when he was a couple of days old

Suncream, coffee and turf are my favourites.
I never got the whole new baby/baby smell thing and I've had three

I'm adding to my list..

Pears soap

Turps and paint (my dad was a decorator and I can remember being very little and the smell on his overalls when he picked me up as he came home from work )

The smell of a brand new vinyl album as you took it out of the sleeve

Play-doh

The smell of rain after a really hot day then a thunderstorm

Winter morning zoflora is divine! I'm stocking up now before they leave us until next Christmas :(

For the poster who would love Yankee to create her favourite smell, I was thinking the exact same thing about petrol.

If I'm allowed one more- the smell of Costa/Starbucks etc which is totally bizarre as I've never drank coffee in my life.

I love the smell of Subway but the sandwiches are never as good as the smell!

New dolls in their packaging.

New car interior smell.

I realise these are just horrible chemicals but I love them

A baby's head

Oh newborn smell is the best. Happy sniffing, OP. When they get a bit older, toddlers after a day at the beach who have fallen asleep in the car are also worth a sniff.

Oh yes, the baby smell and even little toddlers.
My 17yo has passed through the Smelly Child stage to blossom as Teen Boy (shower/toothpaste/deoderant smell of a teen)

Horses neck under their mane when you groom them
My guinea-pigs in hay
That stuff to clean brass in the wadding./cotton wool stuff in a tin
Swarfega
Buddleigha (sp) flowers

And (only old gimmers will relate) when the teacher used to go and photocopy and brought back fresh printed sheets .............ahh the smell, we inhaled

Mylittlephoney me too I lived in a pub and that smell is part of my childhood and I have the same weird grievance for old fashioned pub smell

Turpentine also

Bonfire also

Rain on the rosemary

Cherry almond shampoo ! I liked this smell so much when pregnant I actually tried some of the shampoo
