    Being a bit naughty as it’s a school night and it’s getting past my bedtime...

    But do you have a “comfort” smell? An aroma that might remind you of a happy childhood, a really enjoyable holiday, a loving relationship or just a happy time in your life?

    For me, some of the aromas include that of :-

    Karvol (decongestant capsules)
    Badedas
    Freshly baked bread
    Petrol
    Fresh ground coffee (I hardly drink it, mind)
    Peppermint
    Sweet Pea
    Roses
    Freshly laundered sheets
    Christmas tree (real)

    I bake bread 3-4 times a week here in the bread maker overnight.

    Leave doors open, the early morning smell of fresh baked bread is just wonderful each and every time.

    Opening a new bar of soap. I had the joy of it getting into the shower about two hours ago.

    Firelighters. I don't have an open fire but I'd love to have one. Tempted to buy a pack just to sniff them :P
