Smells I *love*!

The original "Windowlene" (the one in the pink bottle - UK folks will know!)

Vicks VapoRub

Ortigia's Indian Fig scented candles

Jasmine

Mown grass in the summer

Bonfires in the Autumn

Damp leaves in the Autumn

The scent the earth gives off when beginning to warm up in the Spring

Sewers (odd I know, but the smell, for me, is inextricable linked with Venice)

I love this...
 

Scents....
 

Scents I Like:

• Micah, my cat (I love pressing my face in along his fur and smelling him when he cuddles into my head and pillow at bedtime)
• Shampoos, bodywashes, perfumes and/or colognes, laundry detergents/fabric softeners associated with people I've held and treasure/treasured
• Freshly mown grass
• Baked bread
• Coffee
• Puppy or kitten breath
• A baby's skin (clean)
• Wooded areas (Some may not like the damp, earthy, "dirty" smell, but I adore it-- it smells like the areas I played in a lot as a child)
• The smell of being near a lake, especially when out fishing or camping
• Salt-air / the ocean (I'm terrified of the ocean, but the smell of the air there is wonderous)
• Gasoline being pumped
• Citrus (cleaners, candles, fresh fruit, etc.)
• Lavender (incense, fabric softeners, perfumes, etc.)
• "New Car" scent after the plastic's been removed from the interior
• Damp, morning air and cool evenings
• Popcorn

Scents I Dislike:

• Sulfur (I have olfactory hallucinations where I can smell sulfur but others around me cannot-- it's disturbing)
• Burnt popcorn
• Body odor / poor hygiene
• Baby food (certain kinds make my throat clench-- reminds me of an old, painful memory)
• Public restrooms (Of course!)
• Sandalwood Incense (though it has a "woodsy" smell I normally like, many brands of it give me headaches)

My cats fur

Gardenias

Air after rain

Chai in my mug

Alabama after rain storm

Northern Georgia

"hair of people I care about and hug a lot"

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.

1. Woodsmoke
2. Leather
3. Coffee

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!
