I gag and retch over the smell of vanilla. I actually like the smell of vanilla, I have discovered, but it is an involuntary response when I smell it

I also get light headed and naseaus when I smell Avon's rose perfume. Only Avons.

And Ralph Lauren's Blue makes me gag...associated with some really bad memories and tremendous hurt...

when I open a microwave and it hasnt been cleaned, the smell is overpowering to me...people say they cant smell it but oh yes I can....

and I can actually smell the smell of electronics working...again, not many people can smell the scent of a computer or a tv...but I can. its not a bad or good smell..just a smell...like, I can walk into the room and know the tv was on..and the kid was busted for watching tv and not studying like she said she was...lol

I can smell cat urine when I walk into a place and I dont mean litter boxes. I mean when cats spray in the house...even when people have sworn the cat doesnt have accidents...I can sniff around until I find where it has sprayed and show it to them. They couldnt smell it until I picked it out for them...

there are some hair products that also turn my stumach...especially if they are not on clean hair. I dont like sloth and poor hygiene...


And there is something about small pet stores. I go into a tunnel..is the only way I can describe it..and the place gets really small..I bet its how Alice felt when she fell thru the looking glass! And I get so sick I almost pass out. I am fine in petsmart...but small enclosed pet stores with critters other than fish will make me pass out if I am in there too long.


now for good smells...

I ADORE the scent of smoking. Oh Lord..Pipe..Cigar...cigarettes..in that order...and I love the taste of them in someone's mouth if I am kissing them...yeah..go figure...

leather makes my eyes roll back in my head...as does wood smoke on clothes or hair.

sweat of hard work is an aphrodisiac but not if its from poor hygiene and sloth

the smell of feed...grain, horse meal...gawd...soooo gooooodddd

the smell of horses..and the smell of horses on me or someone....I imagine heaven would smell like that...

Nag champa brings back so many past live memories....temples from long ago...arms that once held... and when I wear it, I draw people to me from that time period, that place. ...I know many dont believe in past lives but I have had way too many experiences of them to not....

lilacs...my mother's scent...and for some reason when people pick out candles to give me, they almost always give me a lilac one, long before they ever knew the connection...

new books...opening one for the first time

baby dolls...remember how they smelled????? Doesnt that make you go all squiggly inside? Like you are six again?

there is more but I will stop here...
