YOUR favorite smells

Something in another forum made me think of this. It's kind of a weird question for me because my sense of smell has never been too keen, but I have a few smells that drive me crazy, in a good way:

1. Horse smell: I don't really know what it is or what causes it; I guess it's a mixture of body odor, hay, straw, grain, maybe even a little horse poop tossed in there. Whatever it is, I can't get enough of it. I love going to the barn after I haven't been there for a week because it's the first thing I notice and it reminds me that I've been away for too long.

2. New book/magazine smell. I cannot describe this one, but when I get a new book, any kind of book, or magazine, I find myself holding it up to my nose and taking a few good whiffs. Maybe it's the type of paper, and the ink, I don't know, but nothing beats it.

3. And the obvious one: puppy breath. Need I say more?

Re: YOUR favorite smells

Horse/barn smell most definitely.

Rain, love it.

Grass/outdoors, hard to explain this one. Just smells fresh

Chlorine.

I was a competitive swimmer, life guard, swim teacher and SCUBA instructor.

The smell of chlorine brings back nothing but happy memories.

Also, wet dog, for the same reason.

Yup. Glad you said it first.

For me horse barn.

Cow poop.

Puppy breath.

An orchid species I grow that smells like flour tortillas fresh off the comal and spread with nutella.


And the one that's freshest in my mind at this moment... Frangipani Flowers I was just out in the garden and they're blooming.

I hate cigarettes and cigars but I do like the smell of pipe tobacco. Reminds me of my dad sitting in his Hugh Hefner robe reading a book. And no, not the girly mag.

White Lightning. It's a cleaning agent for bicycles. Nothing like the smell of a clean bike.

Strawberry lip gloss. Do the math.

Re: YOUR favorite smells

Rain and growing things are great, Fresh snow (early on in the winter though, I get sick of it fast), and camp fire food like shrimp, hot dogs, bacon, chicken, hamburger... I could live on that stuff (well, in a mental sense, my arteries wouldn't last long lol )

omg bluedawg, you beat me to the post while I was envisioning a skewer full of hot shrimp...

Re: YOUR favorite smells

I think the smell of horses is probably the smell that can most 'liven' any day; for me, that is! There are so many scents involved with them too, but it's the combination that does it for me...barn, leather, sweat...everything!

The coffee isle in grocery stores...or any coffee shop

Freshly mowed grass...

The smell that comes with rain

Bath and Body works; the store...
