What's everyones favorite smell? I thought this would be a cool idea, and there hadn't seemed to be any other topics like this, so..

Mine would have to be a tie. Pumpkin Pie and Fake Christmas Trees.

Pumpkin Pie - Pretty much symbolized Thanksgiving. Since Thanksgiving's coming up pretty soon, I just remembered the sweet aroma of Pumpkin Pie. It's just refreshing, I guess. Spicy.

Fake Christmas Trees - Since my family never uses real Christmas Trees (My cats try to eat it), Fake Christmas Tree smell makes me remember Christmas. It's very comforting.

eh?

My favourite smell is Coty's Dark Vanilla perfume. It's like a vanilla-jasmine blend.

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

I'm a big fan of the smell of coffee, as well as petrol, for some reason. There's also this one street in town that always smells sort of like a mix between dried meat and especially strong coffee which I enjoy walking down for that reason alone.

The smell of fresh rain on plantlife, 'specially on fresh-cut grass. The cramped-down, polluted smell of the city makes me miss it quite a bit.

Pizza and Hotsauce.

Ohhooo yeah. Nothing is better than something that reminds you of a good meal.

Dish and Laundry soap. I could sniff that stuff for hours. It's like I get high off it or someting.

eggnog and baking white chocolate chip cookies nothing can top those two scents

My favorite smell...that's a new one...

coffee (though i don't actually like coffee)
lavender

My all time favourite smell has to be green apple. I'm a huge fan of that smell. One time (when I was still working at the college), my boss gave me an apple and I didn't eat it for three days. I kept rolling the apple around and smelling it. It smelled soooo good. Finally, I was asked "Are you ever going to eat that?". Heh. My current air freshener is green apple scented.

I like the smell of coffee and freshly mowed grass, as others have mentioned, but my absolute favorite smell is the smell of the air right before an afternoon thunderstorm in a Missouri summer. I don't know what it is about it, but I love everything about a thunderstorm - the feeling before, during, and after.

--------------------

SPEKKIO: "GRRR...That was most embarrassing!"

Top 3 smells for me.


3. The smell of outdoors after it rains. I love it! It just makes me happy. To smell the cool breeze, and the wet grass. All of it. It's just great.

2. Most any cooking with Garlic. I like Garlic flavored stuff, but I love how it smells being cooked up.

1. Basic Instinct (scented oil with Pheremons [spelling?]) and "Bath and Body Works" Warm Vanilla Sugar Lotion. It's what my wife wears, and I LOVE how it smells.

I like:
Fresh cookies (Bonus if they're butter or sugar cookies
Laundry products (I don't know why, but I'll actually pop in the laundry room to smell the fabric softener.
Outdoors after rain, especially spring and summer rains, where it's warm and raining. None of this winter chilling to the bone rain crap.

Dead Winter. A nice comic.

Coffee and cinnamon are definitely two of my favourites. And there's also white chocolate and freshly baked bread. And the smell of cellophane. Mmm, plastic-y.

The interior scent of a brand new car. I've loved it for as long as I can remember.

Other than the "new car smell"... well, I can't think of anything else.

First, food that smells good. I can't really name (and don't really feel like naming) all the foods that I like to smell here, but that's a good summary.

Other than that, unusual smells that I appreciate:

Generally, here, it'll be scents that I smelled at particular situations in life, such as the smell of a friend's house, for example, that are related to positive moments in life.

Other than as signals of food, I don't have any special attachment to fruity or flowery smells. For example, I find "Wild Strawberry Scent" to be nothing more than a novelty which I can quickly tire of.

The only other smell I can think of currently that isn't event- or food-associated is the smell of dilute chlorine, such as that at a swimming pool. It might simply be associated with the idea that I get to go swimming, though. Can't think of any others right now, but I'm pretty sure there are others like this.

Edit

Oh yes--I love the smell of rain.

Hmm... I prefer the smell of burnt flesh, blood, and defeat (all beloning to my enemies) in the morning.

Oh wait, not fantasy?
Then popcorn, fresh from the microwave, buttered rice, and Ramen.

Ugh, those smells are on my worst list. (In fact, I think I posted them in another topic sometime ago...). I'll always remember the smell of the crematory next to where my grandpa used to live, and when they'd burn the corpses. It was quite nasty. Blood smells bad when it's been sitting around awhile and not fresh. Oh, and liquid latex that I use in my watercolours smells like rancid blood that's been in a jar for a month. I always have to deal with that smell when I first open the jar.

Favorite smell.

I like the smell of a foggy morning after it had rained the night before.

Fresh coffee "Country fresh like a morning after a rain storm".

The smell of revenge!.

I love the smell of gasoline, it just smells so good... I also like the smell of lotion. F***, I just can't stand that smell.

I've always loved the smell of Grochery Stores. No joke. Especialy in the bread isles.

I also love the smell of wet mornings outdoors, and my boyfriend. I know, that sounds creepy, but seriously, after he leaves my house, I can smell him everywhere.

I love the smell of motorboats! I love boating, and the smell of the exhaust is like heaven.

I also love the smell of wet moss. Kind of odd, but it's a very earthy magical smell that's fresh and clean. I find it also can clears stuffiness if left out in a room. Go buy a bag of moss at a pet shop and try it out. I don't think it's for everyone though.

I'm rather partial to the smell of gasoline as well.

My most favorite smell would have to be nail polish. I just love slowly unwinding the lid and letting the awesome smell fill my nose. My brothers always say I’m getting high offa them, and they might be right… XD

Wow, that was appropriate. Did you think you were still at FFG? -R51

But a normal smell like a food, KFC chicken. When I ever I pass one KFC I'm so tempted, but no SW, I have to eat healthy things!
