Forest

...eucalyptus...

Really anytime after a good hard rain everything smells so fresh.

vanilla

...night blooming jasmine

napalm in the morning...

I still like patchouli, it gives me fond flashbacks to the '60's and reminds me of my first car in which I accidentally crushed a whole pack of patchouli incense, so the car smelled like that the whole time I owned it.

Eucalyptus brings back memories. When I was a young boy, my dad frequently had a little bottle of eucalyptus oil and if we got the sniffles/congestion, he'd dab a little under our noses...I still like that smell and crush up a eucalyptus leaf whenever I see one just to get a hit of it.

When I smell Estée Lauder perfume it almost makes a girlfriend who wore that appear in front of me, even though that was 40 years ago.

I also like the smell of my exhaust when I'm burning C16 racegas.

Genitals

freshly cut grass... :D

There's a popular tree grown in my city, I wish I knew the name but I've never asked nor singled it out. I only notice its smell when driving with the windows down. Its a faint sweet smell, almost like honey. I'll eventually need to find out its name, because I want one planted in my backyard.

Only in the morning? Seems like it would smell like victory anytime of day.

Offensively so, it smells like a cross between sex and a Catholic church.

Love it.

The correct name for it is "Petrichor".

I love how silent the moon smells.

...fresh rosemary and thyme...pure aromatherapy :hearts:

BBQ!

This thread is embodying some of my fondest concepts of nasal sex.

The distant musky redolence of skunk as I jet through the countryside in my gasoline powered landau

ugh how could I forget rosemary??

And I gotta say, fast food smells pretty damn good when you're starving and driving down the road.

freshly turned earth.
vanilla-cinnamon coffee.
a freshly bitten strawberry.
my ex-SO's neck. his was the only skin that truly smelled good all the time.
carbouretor cleaner.
the spine of old books.
garlic.
jergens lotion reminds me of my mother from when i was very little. it's comforting, but maybe not one of my favorites.
fresh ground cinnamon simmering on the stove for my aromatherapy.
clean sheets.

...puppy breath :icare:

(...still laughing at badnick describing this thread as "nasal sex")

we need to talk... :)

my grandfather was and my daddy is a mechanic.
i love the smell and i stand by it, uncle phil.
it doesn't remind my of a father figure, though.
that's just the only reason i ever smelled it.
i jumped a man once who came in and laughingly put his cleaner-covered hands in my face... after he washed the excess off.
i love that smell.

I'll admit it - herb.

I quit smoking it a month ago and oh do I miss it. But the scent of some killer bud before it's smoked is just intoxicating to me. I could almost get high on smelling it alone.

My grandpa used to smoke a pipe, and everytime I smell pipe smoke now, it brings back happy memories.


hmmmm...what else? Freshly-mown grass...jasmine...magnolia trees...fresh linen...

do0b - both burned and unburned.. now THAT'S aroma therapy. Quite soothing.

There's a type of perfume that a girl i was with in highschool would always wear.. or some kinda hair product.. or scented make-up(¿)... i dunno what the fuck it was or what it was called but every once in a while when i'm in my store working or walkin' around someplace i'll come across it again and smile. I wish i knew what it was.

Frankincense is quite nice too. I used to play with it quite a bit when i was an altar boy :p

Yeah good one. I forgot about that. I love the smell of frankincense.

I don't know if anyone listed this but I thought of coffee this morning. For some reason, it just smells better when someone else makes it too.

Old Spice....my daddy wore it when I was growing up and I still love the smell

Realm (for men)I love it so much I carry a bottle in my car just to inhale if Im having a really bad day...or Dave is gone and Im missing him

Scottish Heather (the only thing I wear as "perfume" though its actually an oil

Chocolate chip cookies in a coffee tin, when I was growing up my Mama would make big batches of cookies for friends and give them away in those big cans that had had coffee in them, when you take the lid off the smell is heavenly

Cloves....I cannot get enough of the smell of cloves

gasoline

wood fire


Dave....his natural smell is to die for

sometimes I get a whiff of a nice, earthy fresh scent from my fish tanks...makes me think the tanks are running in a healthy mode

I just had that coffee aroma wooÐs mentioned...I love that, too. Strangely enough, although I've never smoked cigarettes in my life, I really like the smell of dry/semi-dry tobacco, but not when it's burning.

Relating to another thread, I can hook you up with a full bottle of Aura Cacia clove oil. I bought it thinking I still liked the smell of clove but my nose changed. I used to love the smell of clove cigarettes. Now they make me nauseous.

I'll send 2 u or maybe we can meet one day yay.

Hey, have any of you smelled teen spirit?

Lately I've been nasally bombarded with this since my two teen boys are now in the habit of permeating the house with their colognes and sprays.

I miss the smells of Canada...

The earthy smell of the forest
The smell after a fresh layer snow
Pine
A northern lake
A campfire
Old canvas tents

As I get within a mile or so of the ocean, I just love the salty smells of the bays and marshlands and then finally the ocean itself.

The Rio Grande Valley

antithesis: pig farm

Oh yes. I forgot this one. and the pine trees after it rains.

Fresh baked goods, especially quality cinnamin buns.

for serious, the atlantic ocean on the coast of maine in the morning - hanxter's place, boothbay harbor, anywhere up there...

it's to die for...

Yeah...I kinda figured that from your previous post of burning sage. ;) Not much of a difference.

I wear Old Spice. :thumbsup:

As for myself, I love the smell of a campfire.

campfires bring back very vivid memories of being 17 and 18 and sitting around a fire with men in smelly wool, horseshit and drinking florida wine coolers out a tin cup....and Im pretty BOR is the only person thats gonna understand that

Hey what are you trying to say??

Actually, I quit out of guilt. Long story. But I'm 34. Maybe it's time to grow up :/.

...not to say if it's in front of me I won't hit that shit :D

Literaly LOL :lol:
Yeah. I do understand that. Well...except for the wine cooler part. Ewww. Yuck.

All I'm sayin' is that burning sage bears an uncanny aromatic resemblance to weed smoke. Well...it does.

Hey I was underage as it was (by a year...at the time) I wasnt allowed to drink the harder stuff lol

My dog thinks it's everyone's ass.

I forgot playdoh

I don't understand why they haven't come out with scented Play-Doh yet. Like fruity smells to go with the color or whatever.

cause it smells good enough on its own!!!

Compost & anything that reminds me of things I can't quite recall. (A pleasing mystery)

Bleh, I hate metallic smells (like blood).

Some more likes:
malt vinegar
smoke
fresh tobacco or anything one smokes (before you smoke it)

Huffing a box of 64 brand new Crayola brand crayons.

You know... they have boxes of 96 now.
I think I came when I saw them in stores.

I love the smell of military equipment. It all seems to have the same smell of oil, grease, and some je ne sais quoi. I have also come to love the smell of wet wool, as I've been exposed to it quite a bit within the last few years. I adore the smell of gasoline, jet fuel, and coffee; all things that smell wonderful but taste terrible. I am also fond of the smell of cordite and gunpowder. That's all just sort of the tip of the iceberg for my olfactory senses.

Rain, and it is raining right now! Yay

That "girl" smell, just how girls smell so much better than we crude men do.
Untouched Air and Earth.
Cooking smells, kitchens just have such wonderful smells.
The way the air smells right before it storms.
The ocean, when I was on the ship I loved just to stand on the aft deck and SMELL the air. It just filled me with a wonderful feeling.
The smell of a brand new book.
Fresh herbs (cooking ones). Rosemary is my favorite. I *like* the smell of garlic.
Rice.

I actually love the way men smell. Which is why I always steal...um...BORROW... shirts from guys I'm dating.


Rain. The ocean. Woodsmoke. And did I mention men?

Freshly cut cedar

Play Doh cologne: Product View - Demeter Fragrance Library

Crayon Cologne: Product View - Demeter Fragrance Library

So you've tried stuff from Demeter??? I really want to but I only know of it online - no stores that carry it. Have you tried out any other smells?

Burning sugar cane - It seems to bypass the nasal sensors and drive straight into the brain. Quite a sensation.

Sugar cane's quite big around, right?

Lilacs & peonies, but I despise the smell of lilies.

David Bowie.

Brownies.

Whiskers on kittens.

Coffee right after it's been ground, fresh vanilla, cinnamon and basil, turpentine, freshly cut wood, gasoline, freshly baked bread, garlic ...

mmm. fishy.

Found these candles recently. If you want to know what heaven smells like, these are it. No other way to describe them. Very 'light and cloudy and foofy.' There.

Mystic Elements Etc.. Intention Candles

Meditation, Unwind and Spirit (the best one) are what I've tried so far.

Rain, especially before it falls.
Certain kinds of industrial adhesive that smell like Cow Tales (the candy, not the ass hatch.)
Autumn.
New rubber.
New books.
Gun powder.
Gasoline.

I'll add more as I think of them.

It just smells 'beautiful.' They say it's unisex but I don't believe it. It's too sweet to be on a man. There's also a shower gel in the same scent. The minute they come out with a candle and / or fragrance spray, it's mine.

i told her she smells sort of like chicken soup, and tastes like it, too.

I've used the shower gel, and it's nice.

And to answer your original question, what smell do I like? A freshly washed woman, straight out of the bath.

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but grilled meat and smoked meat. I'm such a meat eater and adore stuff cooked outdoors. : omgdrool:

Carving pumpkins. Pumpkin guts.

The burning pumpkin smell as the candle inside blackens the lid.

ahh, yes. That makes me hungry for warm pumpkin pie, with vanilla ice cream please.

Talk about burning, I was just enjoying the smell of roasted sesame oil...as I drizzled it on my lo mein.

anything not rotting

/remembrance/
