The smell of matches, the smell of petrol, the smell of wet paint, the smell of a stew simmering away on the cooker, the smell of aloe vera just applied to skin, the smell of a man after a day's hard graft, the smell of a first pint of an eve, the smell of a BBQ.

And tip-ex. And markers.

The smell of a builders 'work van'. Just love the earthy smell of it. Probably stems from the fact that my Dad always worked on building sites when I was a kid, and I remember feeling so cool and 'proud' of him......

This song explains the feeling better than I could. Whenever I hear it, it takes me back to being a child again........

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.

old man pub smell is the best smell. always get a whiff when passing one, reminds me of being young and in a pub with my parents (though I'm sure it didn't happen that much).

most of the ones in this thread aren't odd though! my oddest one is sweat

love it. not a ground in dirty kinda sweaty smell from an old unwashed man, but a worked up kinda sweat smell. Gorgeous! *swoons*

New copybooks

I love the smell of sulfur and electronic circuit boards and believe it or not tar :eek: the black tar they build the roads with, I know I must be out there.

Rubecula · 13-08-2011 01:28PM

A freshly opened bag of Dolly Mixtures.

The smell of a wood workshop.

And most importantly the greatest smell ever.... Frying bacon when I am hungry.

(Of course the sweet smell of success is one I have not yet tried)

The smell of sex

ILOVEMCLOVIN · 13-08-2011 01:47PM

Freshly cut grass.

That kind of muddy, grass and beer smell that only seems to happen at festivals, you know the one mingled with that 'tent' smell too - love it!

Smell of a hay barn, always reminds me of when I was small

Smell of briquettes - always reminds of the Bord na Mona ad from when I was younger - you know the one with the Marino waltz on it - gives me a real safe feeling (was my grandparents 'song' too)

The smell of winter - it's my favourite season and I swear it has a smell, something to do with the crispness in the air or something

Eugh.

I love the smell of moth balls.

The smell of a dry-cleaners. The chemicals or something. My Dad used to own a dry cleaners when I was little and the smell of it just brings me right back to doing my homework perched on one of the tumble dryers all cosy waiting to go home...

mattjack · 13-08-2011 02:12PM

the smell from the Guinness brewery...........

Yes, indeed.
I only do it through cut out holes in fresh sheets, and never on Sundays.

dirtypanties · 13-08-2011 02:40PM

Creosote,
A horse/ponys coat,
Babies (not all the time!)
Apple shampoo,
Walking past the body shop or the brewery in Cork City,
Christmas trees!
The air at night-it's so much cleaner smelling,
The air in winter-definitely crisper and christmassy,
Roses,
Strawberries,
Lemon Flash floor cleaner,
Polo mints,
Woodbines (or any untipped cigarette)

Between 0:30 - 0:36. I have an awful sense of smell

fatherted1969 · 13-08-2011 02:46PM

Hay making in the fields. Fresh Silage in the pit. Turkey cooking in the oven.

starlit · 13-08-2011 02:50PM

I prefer natural smells or those that have no scent! Things that smell too strong, whether its a nice or not so nice a smell gives me a headache! The only flower that has no scent is a sunflower! Say I have an allergy to strong smells. I have a nose like a bloodhound, I can smell lilies next door!

starlit · 13-08-2011 02:57PM

Love the smell of that smells of nothing! But favourite smells are vanilla, coffee, caramel, chocolate, fruit, grass, flowery/fruity sweet scents of perfumes/drinks, wine and that freshly washed smell! I love the smell of lasagne and chilly con-carne! Can't stand para-zone! Drives my head bonkers! I get nausea and headaches from it! I like the smell of rose flowers! I like the smell of the sea air if its not too smelly. There are a number of putrid smells I don't like though.

FlutterinBantam · 13-08-2011 03:05PM

The whiff from a delicately buttered set of lacy panties, freshly discarded and not yet 'gone crusty'.

That and cat's heads.

Smells good to me
