[puddin']

mah neighbour cooks ever night, as she has 4 children. tonight i b'lieve i smelt home-made tamales. (she's originally from chile)

[Smiling]

I've always had an odd affinity for the smell of new shower curtain and pool liner plastic.

[Sparkle]

one from your corner of the world, puddin'

lemon-myrtle, or lemon-myrtle & eucalyptus combo!

I remember smelling it for the first time and not being able to get enough of it.

Incredible!

[Queenie]

The smells I don't like:
A cat-box that needs to be changed!
The smell of pot. Its not a nice smell when you smell it on someone on the tube!
Nail polish remover. Ketchup that has been sitting on a plate for hours!
Coffee. Makes me gag these days! Wish I knew why.

The smells I do like: Fresh cut grass. Fresh bread. I'm with Huge-Smile about the smell of new shower curtains. My new perfume.

[TheMerryFairy]

I love the smell of sawdust - childhood memory of being at my uncle's farm and a family friend coming over to build things out in the shed.

I love lots of smells, food especially - gardens.

Flowers or trees as the breeze blows, etc.

I process through my senses so it can be a really wonderful experience.

[TheMerryFairy]

Fresh homeade baked bread! Warm and buttery - cozy , inviting :)

I love the smell of an estuary at low tide.
The way certain oatmeal stout smells when I swallow it.

I hate the way a dirty commercial kitchen smells. It is not a good smell.

[Angeltoes]

Have you ever read the book Perfume by Patrick Suskind? The lead character was a murderer with a very acute sense of smell. It gives some interesting descriptions of olfactory experiences.

I love the smell of sage and cedar and campfires and lilacs and saltwater...I'm very much emotionally tied to olfactory memories that wouldn't make sense so I won't even say.

[Bèsame*]

the scent of new shoes
The way a sharpie pen smells
Opening a new can of play dough
Rain
Fresh cut grass
The way hay smells in the country
The spray of a good ocean wave
The way rosemary smells after I slightly pinch it between my fingers
Night jasmine
Roses brought into the house
Smell of a garage
Sawdust
Bacon frying
Babies
Cedar chests
Lavender
Race tracks

[Gemme]

Today's good smell: the air just before it rains.

Today's bad smell: skunk weed.

[puddin']

her smell...

Salt in the air, and in my mouth..the summer nights in CA...cedarwood burning...coconut oil perfume..fat, falling open peonies..
horses...grape vineyards...matches burning....petrol...iron...burning rubber..clean sweat...books.

The bad>
Death...curry...vanilla fields perfume...bulldog dirty bombs...burning hair.

[TheMerryFairy]

Campfire - I crave most sensations that come along with this image.

[puddin']

smoked chicken bacon, smoked gouda cheese, raspberry cider, me

[pajama]

Likes - Smell of a storm coming in (reminds me of my Dad)
A new box of crayons
Roses and Gardenia (Real not fabricated smell)
Fresh baked bread
Yeast blooming (cause it means yummyness is to follow)

Dislikes -
Lingering cigarette smoke (when it's fresh I don't mind, but when it's on furniture, clothe, people, etc because they are chronic smokers-not so much.)
When The Boy farts in the truck then hops out quickly laughing and closes me in with it.

I think I read/heard somewhere once that smell is the biggest memory trigger. I can believe that.

[TheMerryFairy]

Laundry just taken in from being out on the line on a summer day :)

[DJ Bear]

Love the smell of:
the unadulterated smell of a womans skin
the lawn when I'm mowing it
cooked bacon
puppy breath
the scent of a woman on me after sex
trees when I'm cutting them down
fried chicken
open fire on a cold day
burning sage
cinnamon
the ocean
good cigar
best I can afford whiskey to go with it.

Hate the smell of:
too much perfume on a woman
tires burning
stale smell of cigarettes
getting sprayed by a skunk

[Tommi]

Bring it ...
LOVE that smell at Beach Bon Fire, mixed with that woody pine smell, smore's, and hot dogs, and burnt marshmallow's

Love that fresh out of a shower or bubble bath slip up against me close..closer

Okay, love pumping gasoline too

Can't stand that cooking greasy smell in a kitchen

[Gemme]

Today's good smell: sunshine and a light breeze!

Today's bad smell: old banana.

[puddin']

sumpin' seriously deep fried next door. uggghhhh...

[Kätzchen]

I like the fragrance of the forest, after a season of rain - the deep earthy scent of evergreens and pine trees (cedar, sequoia, sugar pine, ponderosa).

I like the aroma of bread baking in the oven on a cold winter's day or the way cinnamon infuses the air as it bakes inside a batch of oatmeal cookies or the way apples, baked into pies or streusel, provides a calming affect.

Much like herbs, such as: lavender, rosemary, thyme, basil (omg, I do love a fresh bouquet of basil) or the way fields of mint of alfalfa on a warm summers' day can trigger sweet memories of days gone by.

I also love scented candles or esscential oils in musk, sandlewood, amber, jasmine (with Y'lang Y'lang) -- even oil of bergamot or eucalyptus or vanilla: scents that create an feeling of ambiance (welcoming and healing).

[macele]

that time she told me she was going to love me to the moon and back. the scent that night was like no other. yeah, i know what the moon smells like.

Freshly mown grass

[Jesse]

I have a strong dislike for the smell of cantaloup, so much in fact that not only will I not eat it, I cannot sit at the table while someone else eats it. It smells like stinky-wet-haven't-been-washed-in-a-year gym socks. :sock:

What I do love is the smell of fresh roasted coffee beans, preferably over a campfire after dinner.

5. Bay rum

I love the smell of Bay Rum. I buy bay rum scented aftershave that is like the old time barbers used. Love it! Just recently I asked the woman who makes and sells candles at the local co-op to make me a set of candles that are bay rum scented with essential oils. They smell so good!

[Gemme]

Your aftershave is it by Pinaud? My grampa used to use it and he would buy it from the local barber.

I get my bay rum as an essential oil from a local place here called Tenzing Momo...it's a Chinese Apothecary that carries all kinds of obscure things.

Oooh those candles would ROCK!!


And may I add to the list of my smelly good stuff:

Bayberry candles (the real deal, not those imitation ones)
Silver fir trees
Cedar
Middle Eastern food....it just has a delightful smell...probably from the combination of spices. (Like ras-el-hanout or harissa)

[GeeGina]

Good smelly things...

Cigars (good ones, not drug store ones).
Blue Cheese.
Clean babies.
Turkey in the oven on Thanksgiving.
A sweaty armpit (yeah...I kinda like this).
Light cologne or aftershave.
Baking bread.
Curry.
Strong coffee, first thing in the morning.
Cut grass in the summertime.
Burning wood in the fall or winter.
Hot apple pie.
Bourbon.

[Scots_On_The_Rocks]

Nope, it is often used as aftershave or a base ingredient in men's colognes.

Sorry, just saw this. No the Bay Rum aftershave I am using atm is another brand that I can't think of right this minute...Gabels or something like that, but I do also use Pinaud Clubman aftershave lotions as well as the talc. It's excellent for an everyday aftershave. I know it's ancient as dirt, but I like it and get good compliments on it. :)

i'm ole skool dat-a-way, too...


i also adore orange-patchouli body wash from da eco store...

[not2shygrrl]

I miss smelling like horses. The smell that is not quite sweaty, but a little sweet actually. It consumes your clothing as if you were at a smokey campfire. When at my sisters farm she has 5 horses and they all know me. Lovin up on them, and helping take care of them grows on ya. Anyhow, I miss smelling like them, and having my cat try and figure out what/who I have been around!

[imperfect_cupcake]

http://attheloft.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54ecca8b988330168eb7ad385970c-650wi

I love the beautiful heavy and full scent of the gay men's "let's fuck" perfumes. Woof. It actually makes me a bit sexually dizzy when hugged by a butch wearing it cause all it says to me is "sex, on the floor, now"

[tiggs]

Good smells:

The smell of leather, it smells of sex to me and quickens my pulse
The smell of campfires bring thoughts of calm and tranquil days
The smell of real vanilla, I just love it and find it soothing

[Rockinonahigh]

Everyone take a deep smell,I have fresh home made apple pies bakeing in the oven.If I could some how send them over the puter I would gladly share them.

[~baby~doll~]

Any sort of book store has an amazing aroma and brings me to life. The books themselves touch my nose as well. Making love in a sex of book would be so erotic surrounded by the aroma.

[Rockinonahigh]

Oh my where to start...
Fresh baked bread. or anything baking.
Lemon verbena ,reminds me of my grannie cause it was the only scent she wore.
Prince Albert pipe tobacco,my gramps smoked it in his pipe.
Bey rum.
Fresh cut hay.
Old Spice after shave,grandpa again.
Waking up before dawn and having a cup of coffee on the porch smelling the fresh new day start.
Horse feed,I know strange..
The scent of roses.
Being out on the river lazing along drag line fishing.
The smells of the forest..
The new car smell.

[Aud]

I love the smell of old, worn leather baseball gloves & old book binding; a slight whiff of gasoline and motor oil, the smell of natural "India Rubber" balls and erasers, new tires and new vinyl dolls. I love the smell of freshly plowed loamy soil, and lilac when it's misty outside--freshly cut hay, and freshly cut watermelon, freshly brewed coffee & strong, warm tea when it's poured over cracked ice. I love the smell of old wood polished with linseed oil, and bow rosin, starched linen in the sun, the smell of Ivory soap on a woman's skin, Jergen's cherry/almond lotion, baby shampoo, and Pinesol when it hits hot water...Wintergreen Lifesavers when someone bites down on one, peeled grapefruit, the scent of Tigerbalm mixed with clean woolen socks. Meh, too many things to mention. Too many scents that literally stop me dead in my tracks & sucker-punch my senses with a wave of feelings that I'm incapable of accurately describing.

[Sweet Bliss]

horse manure, MiMi she smells like flowers, wet puppy

[Rockinonahigh]

Strange you should mention this,I always knew when my Grandpa and Grandma were in the house or around me somewhere just by their scent.My son often says the same thing about me,once my cuzz was visiting hear so after a wellcoming hug she said James and me must use the same scents..we don't and didn't have any on at the time.

Perhaps you two have the same combination of Phermones. (sp?)

Must smell good otherwise folks might be asking when you showered last.

:rofl:

Some folks smell better than any perfume or scent on the market. Love when that happens.

That very well could be.I use to spend untold hours in the forrest rideing horses and doing cattle work for my uncle or just camping out,many said I smelled like pine needles most of the time.I often us old spice sea spray or stetson high country scents,they don't have an over powering smell just light and nice,anything with a strong smell is way to much either on me or someone else.

[deathbypoem]

I think the smell of beer is absolutely disgusting. I can't even. Really, yes.

Gag reflex in overdrive thinking about it!

[Jesse]

Cantaloupe- I like the way it tastes, though not too wild about the texture. It's the smell of it that I cannot get past. It's difficult for me to sit at the same table with someone who is eating it. It smells like sweaty gym socks to me. :sock:

I love the aroma of good coffee, the way the bottoms of dogs feet smell like Fritos, and the salty air by the ocean. :dog:

[Rockinonahigh]

The smell of new cut hay.
walking in the barn just listing to the horses eat or just there smell, most of my horses smelled better that the people I knew, it must be the high price shampoo I wash them with.
The smell of roses is the bee's knees to me, each kind of rose has a different sent and texture to there pedals.
Walking to the porch with a big cup of coffee taking a big deep breath clean fresh country air.

[catlady]

I love how my cat smells and pizza. I really hate the smell of pot, strong perfume, and smelly sweat.

[Gayandgray]

I love the smell of one of my dog's ears, the smell of gasoline, fresh cut grass, the ocean, coconut, the original Coppertone suntan lotion.

[Sweet Bliss]

The smell of snow coming in Colorado...
The fresh fragrance after the rain in New Mexico...
My Cat Savannah's soft fur...
The French Countryside....
Fresh bread baking while beef stew simmers on the gas stove....

[FireSignFemme]

Olfactory pertains to the sense of smell. Since soft cat fur was included in the previous post, which could mean the person who started the thread also meant to include any of the senses including touch, I just went with the main five - sight, smell, sound, taste and touch. However it could be the previous poster's cat, unlike mine just smells really, really good too! In which case then I've veered a bit off track.

The smell of fresh cut grass
The sound of rain hitting a tin roof on a cabin in the woods
The sight of a strong campfire under a dark, almost black, clear night sky studded with stars so bright they look like diamonds sparkling against a backdrop of plush velvet.
The taste of sips, of piping hot, dark roast coffee, in between bites of gourmet ice cream.
The feel of fur - hand stripped beaver and winter rabbit pelts.

[Orema]

Some of the smells I love are ...

– Sliced or chopped cucumbers
– Freshly cut grass
– Rain
– Fresh Basil
– Coffee brewing

[Smiling]

Fire on a crisp autumn/winter day. High quality marijuana being burned. Plastics - the smell of new plastic shower curtain, pool liner, etc. Gasoline. The way certain people smell sans perfumes or colognes. Warm, spicy scents in my home. Permanent marker. Coffee. Incense. Patchouli. Cedars of Lebanon. Frankincense. The smell of earth. Dirt in my hands. Lavender trees. Orange trees. Gardenias. The ocean. Coconut suntan oil.

[Kätzchen]

I love lots of scents... but lately, the scent I love the most is the scent of my man, Juan. I like his men's cologne or just his natural scent.

[legally_b10nde]

Whenever I go to Home Depot, I like to stroll by the lumber section and smell fresh cut lumber then I forget why I even came to lumber section.

I like the scent of roasted pork with bay leaves and freshly baked bread.... or freshly baked cookies, especially if they're Macaroon Coconut cookies loaded with vanilla and dipped in chocolate. Or baked Rice pudding with Cinnamon. :stillheart:

The smell of freshly brewed coffee
The smell of rain
The smell of gardenias
The sound of a cat meowing
The smell and sound of fire in the fireplace on a cold night
The sound of rain hitting the window
The sound of lightening storms at night time
The sound of a plane taking off/landing (I love aviation)

Anyone else here have synesthesia? It's when a person sees an image (TV, picture, etc) then has a sense of the smell? It can be very pleasant or gross.

Always bring me back to good memories of my childhood.......:hangloose:

[FireSignFemme]

Sweet Peas
Strawberries
Kerosene
Planked salmon
Open bottles of ink
3M packing tape
Elephant ears, cotton candy being made
Wet oak barrels
The kind of ponds where tadpoles live that you don't want to fall in
Fireworks burning
Clean, fresh hay
Newly constructed log cabins
Autumn leaves being burned
Freshly plowed fields, rototilled garden soil
Calgon take me away and Mr. Bubble

[homoe]

Fresh ground coffee beans... always remind me of 8 O'Clock Coffee from the A&P grocery store!

[cathexis]

A thunderstorm and the air right after
Winter crisp air especially the first time the humidity's really dropped
Chlorine bleach ....swimming pools, the clean load of white laundry
Ether (know it's a carcinogen, but ahh)
Clean vacant ICU hospital rooms
Operating Rooms
Guess, just about any really clean scent.

[Bèsame*]

Blooming Star Jasmine, the scent wavering in thru the window, filling the room with the scent of Spring almost Summer. Reminds me of living on the coast in So Cali.

I have a pretty pot on the balcony, ready just for that jasmine plant!

NOT a good one. I picked up a 3' garter snake in the front yard this morning. Brought it into the house to show Bev (she likies snakes) and I must have got some of his "expressed oder" on me. Put him back out in the yard and washed my hands....ok, so maybe just rinsed them. Wiped my hands on my shirt and shortly thereafter, the Bean (my favorite dog) came right up beside me on the couch and started rolling against my shirt. So now.... I am apparently a canine perfume dispenser.

Snakes smell gross. As a nurse, I could (but won't) insult your brain by thinking of some of the worst smells.

Here's a pleasant sight/smell. How about a field of clover?
