    Rashers being grilled or fried is the best smell in the world.

    And I'm a life long vegetarian - never, ever eaten meat but my God, I get the full mouth saliva drools when my son cooks rashers at home.

    Also, Marmite and Danish Blue cheese.

    always remember working near the Mars factory in Slough years ago one Summer and the smell off it was like catnip (if I was a cat I expect) I can't imagine how people lived there it would drive you demented.

    There's nothing like the smell of the rotting corpse of the murder victim you stashed away in the Wicklow mountains and the aroma of the lipstick you smeared on it's dead lips for a laugh to mock the cops who would never find her.

    Not to mention her clothes which you kept as trophies and still sniff regularly for a whiff of her alluring perfume.

    That's what my friend Larry tells me anyway.

    I love the smell of garlic and onions cooking slowly in the pan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,206 ✭✭✭✭anewme


    Was walking through a busy shopping centre last week and caught a scent of a mans cologne as I passed. An unusual cologne, not popular really anymore and i havent come across it since.

    Suddenly........, whoosh...... I was back in 1990, my first boyfriend, Italia 90, the penalty shoot out when a nation held its breath, first full time job, eveŕyone in the pub during the day, the mood of the Country lifting. Happy times.

    It was a bit of a shock as suddenly I was back there. Its amazing how powerful the senses are.

    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.

    With you on the grass.
    Freshly brewed coffee, firelighters, a stew in the slow cooker or scones in the oven. Certain fabric softeners like Comfort Blue or Lenor Yellow.

    The smell of procrastination. That could smell like damp clothes that have been in the washing machine for a few days after being washed, or the black mould growing on your bathroom ceiling, or the whif of butane that you get when you open the hotpress.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,312 ✭✭✭nthclare


    The smell of death when you're out surfing in the winter and there's a big set of wave's on the way, and the only option is to paddle over or take it on the head, because these mother's are going to close out....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,548 ✭✭✭BrokenArrows
