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)
