    Perfumes and aftershaves aside, what's your favorite smell?

    I live roughly a mile away from a Johnston Mooney and O'Brien bread factory. On some evenings I can get a really pleasant smell of toast wafting through the air, it's fantastic.

    My favorite childhood smell would have to be sawdust on a butchers floor, I dont know if that's still around these days though. So what say you? What are some of your favorite smells?

    The smell of newly blooming lilacs on a misty spring morning by the lake after a fresh fall of rain.

    The smell of sulphur after a match has been lit.

    It reminds me of a time when I was young and I stayed at my grandmothers house for the weekend. It never gets old.

    Any bakery smell and the smell of the rough sea, reminds me of summer.
