The smell of stale ale and cigarette smoke when you walk by a really old pub.

I seem to be the only person who doesnt mind the smell of manure. The OH loses her life when the annual farm pong begins but I dont mind it at all.

That smell that only the back of a Supermacs can provide.

The smell of Grafton St in the lead up to xmas.

Also, horse sausages.

Diesel round the border

the smell of hops walking around kilmainham..

the smell of the turf from neighbours fire, miss that smell.

That smell of alcohol you get when walking by a pub on a warm morning in summer..

The smell of burning flags in summer in the northern counties.

The smell of sillage is one of my favourites.

A smoky pub used to be a unique smell also.

Hard to beat the smell of fresh cut grass and petrol in summer though.

The smell of briquettes burning on a real fire is a real smell of Irish winter for me. Not having grown up with it, I find it very distinctive and very homely.

the smell of grass as you walk into a racecourse, then manure

there is also a very strong smell of methane around the beehive inn on the n11

The bang of spliff in the liberties on dole day

Smell inside a bus when it's raining outside, specifically the number 2 in Cork, with the old green seats. What a terrible hum!

The smell of the heather after an August shower, if you could sell that you'd be rich.

Dunno if it's because of where I grew up but all the farmers spread pig slurry. A proper culchie can identify different types of sh1t by smell.

Including their own ?

This thread has made me walk around with my nose in the air sniffing vigorously.

Passers by think there's something wrong with me (there probably is).

Walking by grass that was cut yesterday right now. The smell is amazing.

The smell of chimney smoke on cold autumn nights.

The smell of salty sea air in Wexford on the coast.

Farm smells when you're driving through the country on a warm summer's day.
