Sage.... when the stuffing has just been made and the aroma of sage drifts through …. epitome of Christmas. Also makes a good antiseptic wash so the aroma of healing

Was out doing some street photography last night. Some of the restaurants passed I had a lovely smell of fried garlic wafting out of then. It was a real comfort smell on a windy, cold night.

My new Yankee Candle "Christmas Cookie". It smells good enough to eat, I haven't lit it yet but it's so yum I think I better have some cookies on standby :pac:

I have this one too... it's soooo good! I love the Yankee Candle "Snow In Love"

I also use wax melts from Designer Soy Wax Melts, they smell INCREDIBLE and the company is a small Irish company so win win.

Hyacinths... essence of sheer fragrance

I forced a trio of blue and they started to open on January 7th. our Orthodox Christmas Day. Utter deep fragrant glory.

Echoes and memories from decades ago. A perfume of every Christmas past

Petrol.
I'd wear it as aftershave if it wasn't for the ridiculous safety issues. :pac:

On the subject of smells bringing back memories I used to go to school in Aston, Birmingham. I can still smell the HP sauce factory even today the stench kicked in from about half a mile away, add to this the smell from the Ansells brewery which was about a minutes walk from HP, the competing odours of molasses and hops would cling to your clothes and literally knock you out, it was truly intoxicating

tayto lover · 10-01-2020 4:31pm

Rashers.

Tinsel. Really unique smell that you don't really get anymore coz people don't really use tinsel these days, but reminds me of Christmas as a kid. The day my mum would bring the decorations out to put up, the smell was really powerful and it meant santy season was starting.

The_Dave · 01-06-2020 5:14pm

The smell of the air as you leave work to take some time off

Haven't smelled it in probably 40 years, but was always very fond of the smell of the 'Flying Dragon (Horse?)' crayons Hector Grey used to sell.

The smell of a turkey cooking in the oven on Christmas is one I'll always hold dearly. The Mother always did it from Christmas Eve and I've such fond memories triggered by that.

New sawn timber
Petrichor
Cut grass
Sun dried laundry.

Damp graveyards.
New Socks.
Creosote.

Jasmine incense cones and that fresh rain smell after a humid day.

Wasn't it a giraffe? Good petroleum smell.

ShaShaBear · 25-07-2020 3:47pm

Petrol
Petrichor
Industrial plastic packaging
Firelighters
Wild rose/Rose geranium (that Turkish Delight scent)
New babies (specifically their skin and hair)
Coty L'aimant perfume (ironically my husband absolutely adores the smell too, but had never smelled it before he met me)
Freshly-cooked steak with hot pepper sauce on it.

I wonder if there's a reason so many people are actively drawn to those chemical/petrol/flammable smells?

Loughc · 27-07-2020 5:26pm

Firelighters is a good one, I love the smell of a BBQ and freshly cut grass too.

I used to love the smell of honeysuckle! It is years since I smelled it. I wish you could google smells.:)

Napalm in the morning

EasterSheep · 03-08-2020 6:28pm

The smell of a freshly made cheese pizza

neutral guy · 03-08-2020 6:34pm

Smell of sea which leave salt on lips
Smell of pine in a forest and smell of real Cristmas tree
Smell of hot tarmac in airport in Portugal and kerosine in airport
Smell of rain from wet tarmac after rain storm at hot summer
Most favorite is the smell of snow and winter wind

There's nothing like the smell of Buttery toast to make you want to have toast.

Same with fresh popcorn in the cinemas.

I used to wonder did they pump out the smell of popcorn to get people to go into the cinema, it's hard to resist!

They always make sure fresh popcorn is on the go and they do it to make you buy the popcorn. And it’s a fact. I used to work in a cinema

Graces7 · 22-10-2020 10:46am

Marigolds.. ie calendula. Not a sweet scent ; spicy and very individual,.

Loughc · 22-10-2020 2:30pm

Smell of pulled pork or Lamb in a slow cooker.

starlit · 22-10-2020 4:30pm

Freshly brewed ground coffee, flowers and fresh sea air!

Oink · 22-10-2020 4:45pm

Imagine visiting your grandma. Smell of freshly cut grass in the garden. You open the door, and the wooden floor smells of old-style beeswax. You step in the kitchen and you smell freshly baked scones. You sit down by the fire and the smell of turf hits you. Here comes a fresh pot of tea. That works for me.

starlit · 22-10-2020 5:02pm

I love the smell of freshly baked scones and bread!:o:D:):cool::P

tayto lover · 22-10-2020 5:42pm

Rashers frying.

When I go outside on a cold October day and can smell the freshness, I breathe it in deep

28-04-2021 12:30pm

Sunscreen :cool:

iamstop · 04-05-2021 4:37pm

On my cycle to work there is a small biofuel station. The smell of the wood chips.

jordata · 10-05-2021 11:50am

Walking the highways and by-ways this time of year I stop to inhale the coconut / vanilla scent of the Gorse bush. It is especially fragrant when the sun has warmed it up a little.

11-06-2021 8:23pm

I got a new candle today and it's a combination of my favourite smells: black coffee, jasmine, and vanilla

miamee · 10-09-2021 10:24am

The smell of Autumn on the air, it's like freshly cut grass mixed with a cool breeze and something else

sporina · 10-09-2021 10:32am

the smell thats produced with angle grinding/welding.. hmmm

is it a psychological study? or maybe even a psychiatric one?

Sunny_Arms · 18-10-2021 7:19am

fresh coffee (mostly the smell of coffee when you enter a coffee shop)

lavender

vanilla

smell of books (especially newly opened and old books)

baby powder on skin

baby smell

the wet earth after it rains

rice cooking

The other day walking through the corridor in my job there was a distinct smell..it's like a mixture of the coldness from the walls and an area not in use...that's the only way I can describe it.

Its a nuetral kind of smell but straight away it reminded me of other jobs I've worked in and a feeling of that time.

Graces7 · 08-04-2022 1:37pm

The aroma of home- made ie in the making- chicken soup simmering gently on a chill morning.... mmmmmm!

sam t smith · 08-04-2022 1:40pm

My own farts.

Sometimes they are spicy, in a good way.

I don’t recall ever not liking the smell of one of my own farts, even the really rough ones or the ones with follow through.

Of course you can’t resist smelling them. Who here hasn’t given themselves a ‘dutch oven’ to get the full effect?

Smells you love
