Smells you love

There are a few things that I smell that just make me feel happy. You know that feeling when you smell something and you get a really strong memory or feeling?

1: Pomegranate anything (including actual pomegranates!)
2. Gluhwein
3. Garlic and onions frying (because that smell is there when I'm cooking and I'm always happy when I'm cooking)

Anybody else have any?

i've been meaning to try find a study on this exact thing to read. It's really interesting. Your mind actually stores exact emotions and feelings you experienced during very happy or very sad times. And it uses things like smells and tastes as a type of filing system. As soon as yoi get that smell you got at that particular moment in your life you actually emotionally and sensually time travel to that exact moment in time and can be in the exact state of mind you were in when the event occured. It's amazing really. Can't think of smells of hand' but I do get it a lot. And thats the most amazing thing. It's stuff you actually completely forget about and a smll you probably can't explain, but once you get it it's a very vivid memory and feeling.

Good Morning - Yankee candle

Sunshine Comfort.

The scent of cooking coming from any good chinese restaurant; freshly cut grass - quite a few of you agree with me on this one: the fresh air after a downpour; freshly laundered clothes.

Angel perfume

This smells nasty when sprayed on soft furnishings - it has to be able to work with your own bodyheat and chemicals to allow the honey/chocolate/caramel scents to develop (from personal experience).

It's a beautiful perfume though. Love it - it reminds me of London!

I love the smell of: freshly baked cookies and brownies, Johnson's sleepeasy bath thing for babies, beef nuts, milk replacement powder (golden maverick, I miss you!), pine forest in summer, my fabric softener, most Burberry perfumes, swimming pools, ink, christmas dinner, Glistening Snow candles, wet grass, New Car air freshener, my grandmother's house, raspberries, rosewater, cinnamon, vanilla, Lush The Olive Branch shower gel, John Frieda shampoos and conditioners, hair dye, hot paper from the printer, pledge, baby powder, sausages, warm toast, tea, I Love Dior perfume (which is impossible to get, so if anyone finds it, please PM me!), Hugo Boss Deep Red, freshly valeted car, my house at home, my room in Dublin, pink grapefruit shower gel...

I do go on a bit!

Oh god, it's so expensive I wouldn't be spraying it anywhere except on me!

I love how it smells on me but have smelled it on others and it just wasn't the same!

I also love the smell of fresh honeysuckle growing in the ditch, don't like it as much when it's been picked though.

Toast, coconut, petrol, roast chicken, most spicy things (curry, chilli, cajun spice etc.), teabags.

But toast is the main one for me.

I believe the perfume is called "I love Dior" - it's not that she loves all Dior perfume

It was a present and I adore it. It smells pretty and fresh and fizzy. I know that makes very little sense, but I love it! I only have half the bottle left. My little heart is breaking.
