I think my dh's smells of pears and I hate pears the smell of them makes me gag as does dh's sperm.

FrannyandZooey · 18/02/2007 21:38

OMG yes the jizz bush!!! There was one in the road I used to work in.

God I wonder if I dare try to find the name of it by googling

FrannyandZooey · 18/02/2007 21:39

snurk , I dared

Thunderpants · 18/02/2007 21:40

Definitely bleach. We bought some goat's cheese once that smelt exactly like it. It's known as jiz cheese in our house now! Maybe we should get a jiz cupboard to put it in

Oh, bloody hell Franny - it's not actually that but the Wayfarer Tree - however you have just reminded me of a time a presented an angry mob with their "Homezone" designs for their street... which included the "Ornamental Pear" as suitable.

I can laugh now......

Winestein · 18/02/2007 21:51

Oh, meant to say "is the wayfarer tree apparently"
Have been googling bradford Pear to make me laugh even more all over again

FrannyandZooey · 18/02/2007 21:53

So, you were presenting your ideas and they all shouted out "Not the Wayfarer Tree! It smells of spunk"??

mrsmalumbas · 18/02/2007 21:57

Apparently the flower of the horse chestnut tree smells of sperm, so I suppose you could say that sperm smells of the flowers of the horse chestnut tree...

LowFatMilkshake · 18/02/2007 21:58

I think it has a fresh - but not altogether pleasant smell.

When I was in my late teens there was a thing going round that if men ate cinamon it would change the taste - remember loads of male friends going mad for cinamon products in the hope of pulling someone who would (I apologise for this) "suck it and see"

Winestein · 18/02/2007 21:59

No. But lol at the thought. I showed them designs for the street and pictures of a Bradford Pear and they were calmed - most commenting on how beautiful the trees looked and how they were looking forward to having such a magnificent street.

Then I phoned the arboculturist...
Although I must admit he didn't actually tell me that they smelled like semen. He just said they smelled really really bad. Really really. Now I know where he was, er, coming from.

FrannyandZooey · 18/02/2007 22:06

Ah

domestictechnician · 18/02/2007 23:13

semen is two smells away from alfalfa sprouts in the smell chain, haven't read anything other than how this thread started. Get yerself to waitrose (or other chosen retail outlet) for a good sniff.

Jossiejump · 18/02/2007 23:14

nearlyfourbob-I can't believe that someone thinks the same as me-I've always thought it smelt like raw batter pudding!!!!!

domestictechnician · 18/02/2007 23:22

Whatever- certainly smells better on the way in than on the way out!

domestictechnician · 18/02/2007 23:28

winestein are you some sort of horticultural town planner- cause you could defo do strategic planting, for example to prevent large groups of disaffected women hanging around in specific areas you would plant said pear tree and alfalfa sprouts. What would be the ultimate smell to disinterest the hooded yoof?

OttergavebirthonValentines · 18/02/2007 23:40

dt - on the way own it does not smell!!! i always think my fandango cleanses it of the stinky sperms
'' its the whippers that whiff'' is a frequent cry in our house

OttergavebirthonValentines · 18/02/2007 23:41

'down'

domestictechnician · 18/02/2007 23:46

please stop me when this just gets too gross, but after a night hanging out in my fanjo the emissions smell like lost teenage clubbers in goa! Maybe there's too much space like an egyption catacomb?

OttergavebirthonValentines · 18/02/2007 23:51

i cant imagine what those clubbers smell like???

steinermum · 19/02/2007 00:29

slight but lovely smell of chlorine/bleach. One of my favourite aromas.

Stiller · 19/02/2007 00:35

Semen smells???? I've never noticed!

alipiggie · 19/02/2007 00:37

Lol in my experience, some does smell and some doesn't - how cryptic is that

VeniVidiVickiQV · 19/02/2007 01:34

oh dear god.

Stiller · 19/02/2007 01:35

Alipiggie - you .... tart!!!!

alipiggie · 19/02/2007 04:10

Thought you'd all like that one
