    Bit weird, but - Mothballs.
    Some kind of powdery balls that they used to use to stop moths eating holes in clothes.
    Reminds me of my granny's.
    Whenever I get anything from her, it smells of mothballs.
    I could smell that smell all day.

    Ok,

    The rules are, you only get three picks.

    So, I'm going to go for:

    1) Turf burning

    2) Coffee brewing

    3) Bread baking

    I would have gone for the smell of talcum powder off a baby, but I'm a single man with no interest in being arrested.

    So, AHers what smells do it for ya?

    Freshly cut grass

    Smoking grass

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Steak frying with onions.

    Freshly saved, dry hay in a field on a warm summers day.

    The smell of a well worn pub when it opens at the start of a day, stale beer in the floorboards, turf fire on, the lingering smell of people from last night. Its more of a feeling really, combined with walking on the worn floor, the saggy furniture, huge cushioned stool and the hiss of the Guinness tap with the Sunday papers under my arm.

    Honourable mentions to coffee, hot chocolate, the sea and the whiff of perfume off my ex's skin first thing in the morning.

    I used to live just around the corner form the Cadburys factory in Coolock. Some lovely smells coming out of there. Love the smell of cut grass in summer as well.
