Favourite smell?
 

Sorry i've not started a thread for ages and this is the best i could come up with, just made a green tea and really like this aroma.

Freshly baked bread.

smoked tea duck while it is being smoked

There's a tyre factory close to me that everyone complains about the smell of but which I quite like.

I've not heard of this before,thanks.

The smell of a woman.

Paint.

Ryan's arm pit in the morning, patchouli incense, weed and yankee candles

Gasoline, basements, freshly cut lawns, coffee < I don't drink coffee, but I love the smell.

keeping it simple.

I've always been immensely fond of the smell of freshly ignited fireworks, gunpowder smell or whatever.

same here. one is heaven the other is hell but even hell can't keep me away..

the pillow my boy sleeps on
cucumber
oil paint
basil, mint, pepper, parsley
the doll i got from my aunt that has been in a cabin in the forest for years
my grandmother's perfume

hot tar
fresh bread
freshly ground coffee - went to a roasting plant as part of my wife's job and the smell was just incredible.
oak fires
creosote
cut grass
perfume - not all but some

That woody smell of an entire forest that has just been in a downpour.
Hot asphalt that has just been rained on.
Weeds that have been baking in the sun all day.
Musty basement.
The air drifting out of the entrance of a bar.
Weed smoke.
Cotton panties moistened by a fresh, dewy cunt. (Smelling said cunt through the panties.)
A fish market. Even the Chinese ones.
Steak that is being cooked.
Various mechanical lubricants. Old WD-40 (not a lubricant) on metal.
Black people (cocoa butter and baby powder.)
Play-Doh.
Musk.

the smell of my car when I leave good pot in there.

coffee, tea, baked goods

i have an incredibly shitty sense of smell

teen spirit

My own farts. Each one a rose by another name.

Bioparox, the stuff my girlfriend inhales. The smell is just incredible.

warmed up vintage tubes in an old guitar amp

first whiff opening a bag of good tortilla chips

cut grass, plants, trees

fresh cut grass (reminds me of Ryan my lawn man)
church pews
Freshly blooming honeysuckle ans daylillies

The smell of railroad in summer day or vanilla. I can´t decide which is better.

vanilla perfume is forever tainted in my mind.
loving the smell of this stuff

Cherry Kool-Aid
Leather
Gasoline

Clove
Apple cider
Old books
Creme brulee

babies......not in a sexual way.

Gasoline
Smoke
thats all i can think of.

actually... yeah... i like the smell of smoke too. cigarette smoke. a lot of people think it's a bad scent but it makes me kind of... nostalgic/homesick/etc. huh.

... also when i'm really drunk i tell people that ... and then take their cig even though i'm not really a smoker.

i get to piss them off twice in a row!

Why live under self-imposed limitations, maaaaaaan?

I can never pin down my favorite smells to particular causes and I always forget what those smells smell like until I smell them again. Once I do, a flood of memories. Life's worth living just for those moments.

my sunglasses case
brand new shoes
my guitar case
cold air
wet grass
my grandparents photo albums
grilled cheese
laundromats
the mountains
the ocean

some more:

bread
old and new books
glue
some of the churches here
streets after rain
my skincare products (they smell great, seriously)

salt water

Something like this happened to me recently,walking past a metal recycling plant,the smell,as you say unlocked a flood of memories,details of the source long forgotton,maybe it was like an aromatic deja vu,(do i need help?),i guess some songs do the same thing some times,transport you back.Maybe i should consult some vast psychology tome on smells and their effects on triggering memories.

Smells bring back more memories to me than anything. I have some of my moms old perfume and I spray it once in awhile so I am able to remember her better. It hasbeen 13 yaers now since her death. Her face fades out of my memory.

our bed. space smells like vanilla and rainforests.
