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

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. |

freshly cut grass...
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.

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.

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.

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

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. |
