    Ahh now Tar, it's nice out and about when your not expecting it! I don't think I'd want my missus to swap her nice smelly stuff for marker smelly stuff. I don't think I'd be as fond of her if she smelt like a lawn!

    you are saying you are a petrol man? Always a good choice. Special deal at Tar's Perfume Emporium this week.

    Whenever the cats become extinct and they can no longer extract their urine for their latest scent. Pighead put on Gucci Rush For Men last week and within sixteen minutes I had 42 cats sniffing my legs arse and other general bodily areas. Bring back Brut 66.:mad:

    OOOhhhh No No No, I am definetly not a fan of the smell of petrol. The smell of chocolate on the other hand...

    I could be a real suck ass and say I love the smell of Pighead................... but as I've never met him that would be a lie. It would also most likely be really creepy.

    I love the smell of the Guinness brewery... I used to pass it on the bus all the time many years ago.

    These days I pass Cadburys every day.. which also smells lovely..

    Plus I have a bakery right next to me in the building where I work.... too bad the apple pies they make don't taste as nice as they smell when baking.

    Speaking of Brewerys, anybodys whos got off the train at Dundalk Train Station can attest to the fact that the Harp brewery has an absolutely putrid stench eminating from its big steel chimneys. Rotten! However as a Harp drinker I'm willing to forgive them as in this case the end most definitely justifies the means. Mmmm Harp.

    Agreed.

    Wood glue ftw!

    Mmmm a cube of hash... could sniff that all day... smoking it is such a waste.
    And ear wax for some reason. :confused:

    People say they enjoy the smell of a babys head... but that just seems weird to me. "excuse me, but would you mind if I sniffed your babys head for a few minutes?" ... no I don't think so.

    Hash smells lovely.
    Babies, not so much...

    What a strange coincid, I was thinking about proposing a smells forum. I think smell is the most oppressed sense, probably cos sight and hearing have the monopoly on things. We need an olfactory revolutuion that will shake the body to its very nostrils!

    a smells forum :) im in, go propose it! lappy

    new books! and ear wax I think I know what you mean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭Grem


    I love the smell of books. School books, new books, exam papers, leaflets anything! My friends think im a freak, whenever i see a book lying around i pick it up, open it and inhale deeply! Mmm smells so good.

    Also rubbers from years ago when i was in school. Whenever anyone got a new one i would hold it and smell it for a while.

    I like walking behind a man and getting the smell of aftershave off him, its so nice. Doesnt matter which one, any really.

    I love the smell of freshly flamed muppet.

    I love smells.

    New school books
    New shoes
    The inside of new cars
    Sheets that have dried on the line on a windy day
    Coffee
    Honeysuckle
    Cut grass - driving home through the Phoenix Park is lovely this time of year
    Talcum powder
    Spellbound Perfume
    Stew cooking on a cold day
    L'Oreal kids strawberry shampoo
    etc

    I remember as a kid crawling behind my Mam as she hoovered the house. The smell that came out of the back of the hoover was just gorgeous. Not dusty, I can't really describe it... only ever got it off her hoover. Weird, I know...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭fuzzywiggle


    Ok. Cut grass, babies heads, peoples hair!, the bakery in M&S, fake tan, sun factor, after sun, my dads pillow and coffee. oh and petrol!!

    ah I know what you mean, i think its the foam filter and miix of plastic and metal, although a i had the loud drone of the hoover so its not great, sounds and smells that don't mix

    The smell of rain...... can't always get it though. Only when it's been a really hot dry day and it beings to lash down.

    Used to be a bewleys factory down the road, I loved to smell it.

    Ooh, and party poppers after you let them off. I'd grab them off the table at a party and sniff them.

    Also, new plastic toys.

    Me loves the smell what you get in the countryside when you walk by a cottage and there's a smell of turf smoke coming from the chimney!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Smell of yore ma




    cant believe this went to three pages without that reply

    *shakes head sadly*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,060 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Umm, Im not a smoker, but the smell of a single cigarette being smoked is kinda appealing. Not sure why

    A room full of smokers is unbearable though
