    Cut grass. Earthy. Always reminds me of my childhood when so much had to do with playing football until all hours. Beautiful smell.

    The smell of a nice fry up. Especially when you're starving.


    ^ this also the smell of jet fuel, reminds me of going on holidays, continuing with the airport theme the candyesque smell of the duty free shops in airports.

    Used to love the smell of new school books when I was in school.

    Never had much use for them, though :pac:

    Walking through the forest shortly after it has rained, the smell of the trees and plants just gets the happy hormones going.
    I have a big lavender plant at my front door, coming home smells so good.

    Lavender, sunflowers, cut grass and clean cottons dried in the sun. Absolutely love a mens cologne that I never found out the name of, must be full of pheromones or something because it rather affected me (it's probably Sex Panther). Love the smell of meat marinated in BBQ sauce cooking over a hot flame, and the salty smell of sea air on a windy blustery day.

    Favorite smell of all is that damp petrichor of a woodland floor after a drenching of rain in the summer. There's something so fresh and fertile about it.

    My own farts

    I must be the only person who hates freshly cut grass, honestly it makes me retch
    I hate cut grass smell too. Horrible smell.

    hmmmm. Interesting as reading this I realise my sense of smell has diminished with old age...Lavender oil.. and always the air out here in the ocean..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,913 ✭✭✭NickNickleby


    Burning wood. Petrol.

    Are those separately or together?:pac::pac:

    Creosote - reminds me of childhood days on the railways watching the steam trains go by on a summer's day... (they still had steam trains in England in 1965 - so I don't have to be incredibly old to remember them).
