Your favourite smell

    This only popped into my head a minute ago.

    I've spent the last 20 minutes stabbing holes in a leg of lamb. I stuffed every hole with a slice of garlic and some bruised rosemary. I rubbed the whole thing with olive oil and covered it in too many layers of salt and black pepper. The smell off the thing is putting me into some form of dormant state. It's beautiful, and officially my favourite of all-time-ever.

    When I was a kid it was cut grass or the smell off the the roads and footpaths when a sudden summer shower was drying up. Pencil shavings were nice too. But all that is history now.

    Any one else got the one that makes life worthwhile?

    My favorite smell also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 269 ✭✭CL32


    Heh, never had the pleasure of napalm.

    There is something special about petrol though. Lovely stuff.

    When I was younger I remember a mate of mine stood on the turd of what I can only presume was a very, very sick dog. He took off his runner and gave it a sniff and puked uncontrollably. When he finished he did it again and again and again. The soundtrack was something along the lines of:

    Jesus thats.. *puke* My god thats the *puke* I've never smelled anyth.. *puke* I'm never smelling tha.. *puke* smell that *puke*

    Not my favourite smell by a long shot but certainly my favourite smell story.

    Freshly cut wood is a great answer. Theres something comforting about that, and its not one you get very often.

    +1 on fresh tarmac too. Its repulsive when it first hits you but you settle into it when you realise what it is and that its not coming from some terrible, costly fault in your engine.

    better start to treasure that smell... can't see much fresh tarmac being laid in the future..

    I know it has nothing to do with smell but does anyone remember, when Ireland had sun and heatwaves and the tar in middle of road would melt and u could walk with no shoes on and stick ur toes in it :o

    CamperMan, I swear to god I wish I could tell you the full story in a pub sometime. I couldn't stop laughing typing that post. The best thing was it happened on a green not far from my house and there was a couple and their young son walking towards us along a very long straight path and saw the whole sorry ten minute spectacle. I can only imagine what they thought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Back in the early 90's there were some girls who wore some sort of body spray, deoderant or perfume or something.
    I can't describe it, but it gave me a horn any time I was near them.

    It wasn't the usual smell. This was different. It was...I don't know how to describe it.
    This was designed to turn men on and it worked a charm.

    That was deadly because you didn't need a lollipop stick to scrape up the chewing gum off the road either. Its amazing how neglect seems to revitalise mint flavourings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,276 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    The chipper, or McDonalds chips, the two most delicious smells in the world.

    Mrs. CL32's perfume is nice too.

    Nice one, it must have been some powerful stuff. Remember that crap Lynx used to sell us? Its a wonder any of us ever got laid.

    Thinking about girls in the early 90s gave me a semi so maybe it had more to do with the xworx jeans?
