Smells good to me

Do you like any unusual smells? I know fresh cut grass isn't an unusual one but for me its even better when mixed with the smell of fresh sweat and deep heat coz that combination is the smell of football.

I also just realised this morning that I love the smell of timber being cut. My dad is putting a wooden floor down in my sitting room and the house smells wonderful.

The smell of victory

New car smell or the smell of a new dvd

CardBordWindow · 13-08-2011 12:22PM

The mammy's cooking!

Caraville · 13-08-2011 12:22PM

Brown bread baking in the oven (not that unusual I suppose)

New books

Nail varnish

Bleach

A wet sliotar (that's not a euphemism for anything!)

Cocaine. I'm not addicted, I just love the way it smells.

barone · 13-08-2011 12:26PM

pipe smoke (the smoking kind)

flutterflye · 13-08-2011 12:29PM

Stale smoke in a room.

Dustbin Diamond · 13-08-2011 12:31PM

old pub smell.

Kind of a mix of about 60% guinness 30% tobacco 9% dry roasted peanuts 1% piss. You don't get it any more since the smoking ban of course.

Andromeda_111 · 13-08-2011 12:33PM

2 strokes.....combined with the noise of those bikes it's fantastic.

smell of a bog

Fresh cigarette smoke - even though I've never smoked.

Turf and coal burning.

The whiff of a brand new book or copybook when opened - the only thing I enjoyed when going back to school!

bluto63 · 13-08-2011 12:40PM

fresh cigarette smoke

new books

oddest one I can think of is my own BO

chin_grin · 13-08-2011 12:40PM

Smell of a pipe - reminds me of my Grandad.
Freshly made creamed rice - effin' yum!
The pheremones of my OH. They get me goin'. :pac:

Cormac2791 · 13-08-2011 12:40PM

Smell of a cigar of the Cuban kind..lovely

bnt · 13-08-2011 12:41PM

I love garlic too, but I find it difficult to use. I'll use a fair bit in e.g. chilli, and can hardly taste it in the chilli... but then it comes out through my skin for the next week. I don't mind, but I suspect others might not be as keen ...

Another smell I love is fenugreek, known as methi in Indian cooking. I don't quite know how to describe it ...

MerryLegs · 13-08-2011 12:42PM

When a maych goes out after being lit the smoke smells gorgeas.
The smell of horses.
The smell of chlorine in a swimming pool.

Oh God yeah, I'd almost forgotten about that.... The Gillabbey Tavern in Cork always had that when you walked past, used to love just inhaling it when walking past. Although I'm all for the smoking ban, I miss that smell

Now all you can smell is sweat and farts

Appleblossom42 · 13-08-2011 12:43PM

Tar
Petrol
Sulpher after lighting a match
Old pubs years ago, especially when I was a child passing the windows outside.
Pipes, my great grand mother used to smoke one and I just love the smell.

The sea
Warm bread and bread baking.
Garlic but not on someone's breath.
Oxtail soup.

A lot of potential pyromaniacs in this thread!

Freshly spread slurry.

Exhaust fumes from a diesel engine on a cold morning just after starting especially an old tractor or cement mixer etc.

Smells good to me
