    To go alongside the sounds you like thread Ive decided to start a smells you like thread and see where it might go. I'll kick off by mentioning a few of mine in no particular order.

    The smell of a fry up, especially in the morning and more especially after a feed of drink the night before. I'm sure that even the most hardline of vegetarians will admit to liking that smell:)

    The smell of concrete inside a newly built house, before any tiling, plastering etc.

    The smell of new carpet. The smell you might be inclined to find inside a bedroom of a brand new or refurbished hotel, seen as virtually nobody uses carpet in their houses anymore.

    The smell of petrol fumes, paraffin, and the smell you get outside a house when there is a coal fire on inside....that perhaps being my most favourite smell of all.

    The smell you might get from a new electrial appliance such as a laptop. Unsure if this is the smell of ABS plastic or something thats used to clean the finished product but it wears off in time.

    Freshly cut grass and freshly laundered cotton.

    Coconut smell/ taste, coconut airfreshner, bounty bars, actual coconuts, you name it love em to bits...

    Personally, and I know no one else loves it, the smell I leave in the jacks on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

    To me it's like Roses.

    Reminds me of a favourite saying of mine:
    "Kids are like farts - you can only stand your own"

    Freshly cut grass!

    In primary school we used to have "Grass wars" in spring when the caretaker mowed the field. We could build mini forts and walls and throw clumps of grass at each other!

    The 90's were great!
