Smells you love

watna · 26-12-2009 11:29am #1

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.

Thomas828 · 28-12-2009 9:56pm

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.

But toast is the main one for me.

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.

eleanoroosevelt · 04-01-2010 4:25am

I posted on this earlier and blackbetty asked me to explain what I meant by the smell of the shannon. I'm not sure what she meant, but there is a very specific smell from the shannon (maybe all rivers smell the same) but the shannon smell reminds me of home and is familar to me, its nice.

Bucklesman · 04-01-2010 6:13am

Hot water bottle.

Lukker- · 04-01-2010 7:12am

Coconut, it's my favourite smell in the world, love it. Especially coconut shampoo and shower gel, sets me up for the day.

Funnily enough I hate any food containing coconut though.

Probably because it doesn't taste as good as it smells

I can think of other things like that but probably be banned for mentioning them here:p

Little Acorn · 12-01-2010 5:42am

Agree with some of the ones mentioned already,eg.;
.petrol-thought I was the only one!
.swimming pools
.baby powder
.log fires
.vanilla and coconut
.garlic and onion frying-I like cooking too. :-)

Some others I like are:
.These orange chocolate sweets http://www.ballyrainens.ie/Archive/2008-2009/sweet%20fantastic/orange%20chocolate.gif

.Spearmint gum or toothpaste
.Popcorn
.New hardback refil pads
.Herbal Essences-the old purple one for dry hair(had blackberries)
.The Beach
.Woods-smell of all the trees
.Men's lynx,and aftershaves. I love this blue face gel thing that my boyfriend uses after shaving,think it's gillette or adidas.

Some that bring back memories:
.Inis Arose perfume http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:pJCiAnMerZrZFM%3Ahttp://www.mimifroufrou.com/scentedsalamander/images/Inis2.jpg
-reminds me of knicking my mum's as a teenager,on way out with the girls. :-)

.Old Spice aftershave-haven't smelled it in ages but it always reminds me of my dad.http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:elyJJ7T6SucMZM%3Ahttp://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/12/17/article-1096956-02D64375000005DC-450_87x141.jpg
