    Jasmine is very nostalgic. Petrol smells nice too.

    The sea at the coast.

    Nice. Rotting seaweed I believe. The sea has no smell. Kills the romance knowing that though.

    I like the old predictable lavender and cinnamon myself.

    nicest smells IMO:

    a turf fire

    brand new un-used bike/car tyres

    the tayto factory in coolock (when it was open)

    Rare in Ireland but always reminds me of tropical countries- the smell of wet earth on a hot day. Absolutely amazing!

    New books, clean sheets, that nice man smell, petrol, the smell just before it rains, wet concrete, baking bread, dark chocolate, amaretto.

    Strawberry candles
    Tar when it is being put down
    Sulphur (if you like sulphur and want the ultimate sulphur smell, erupting volcanos are the place to be.)
    Salad sandwiches
    Egg Mayo
    Freshly dried clothes.
    The salty smell off a fire.
    Walking past the hairdressers and the smell that comes out of there is fantastic.

    The smell you used to get in a video rental shop. It diminished when the transition to dvd completed and has been obliterated now because there's only xtravision and they all stink of cheap popcorn.

    The inside of my hardshell rickenbacker bass case smells similar and also very nice.



    Best of all, my Fiancée's scent (from her neck/hair). Call me a big softie (or worse) all you want but it smells like home :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 688 ✭✭✭maxfresh


    Petrol

    2 stroke engine exhaust

    steamy type smell from tumble dryer


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin

    that great but sort of weird smell you get when you get back to your house for the first time when youve been on holidays for a while:)
    xtravsion -so warm and popcorny:D
    when you walk past a laundromat that really humid but great detergenty smell.
    bakery smell, and fresh bread.
    and my all time favourite smell is the smell you get off some foams- like off these and a few other foam objects you get the smell i love-http://tatp.edb.utexas.edu/images/ADL_writing_clip_image019.jpg
    Is that a weird favourite smell?
