The smell of a turkey cooking in the oven on Christmas is one I'll always hold dearly. The Mother always did it from Christmas Eve and I've such fond memories triggered by that.

Haven't smelled it in probably 40 years, but was always very fond of the smell of the 'Flying Dragon (Horse?)' crayons Hector Grey used to sell.

Wasn't it a giraffe? Good petroleum smell.

Petrol
Petrichor
Industrial plastic packaging
Firelighters
Wild rose/Rose geranium (that Turkish Delight scent)
New babies (specifically their skin and hair)
Coty L'aimant perfume (ironically my husband absolutely adores the smell too, but had never smelled it before he met me)
Freshly-cooked steak with hot pepper sauce on it.

I wonder if there's a reason so many people are actively drawn to those chemical/petrol/flammable smells?

Firelighters is a good one, I love the smell of a BBQ and freshly cut grass too.

The smell of a freshly made cheese pizza

Smell of sea which leave salt on lips
Smell of pine in a forest and smell of real Cristmas tree
Smell of hot tarmac in airport in Portugal and kerosine in airport
Smell of rain from wet tarmac after rain storm at hot summer
Most favorite is the smell of snow and winter wind

There's nothing like the smell of Buttery toast to make you want to have toast.

Same with fresh popcorn in the cinemas.

I used to wonder did they pump out the smell of popcorn to get people to go into the cinema, it's hard to resist!

They always make sure fresh popcorn is on the go and they do it to make you buy the popcorn. And it’s a fact. I used to work in a cinema

Marigolds.. ie calendula. Not a sweet scent ; spicy and very individual,.

Smell of pulled pork or Lamb in a slow cooker.

Freshly brewed ground coffee, flowers and fresh sea air!

Imagine visiting your grandma. Smell of freshly cut grass in the garden. You open the door, and the wooden floor smells of old-style beeswax. You step in the kitchen and you smell freshly baked scones. You sit down by the fire and the smell of turf hits you. Here comes a fresh pot of tea. That works for me.

starlit · 22-10-2020 5:02pm

I love the smell of freshly baked scones and bread!:o:D:):cool::P

When I go outside on a cold October day and can smell the freshness, I breathe it in deep

Sunscreen :cool:

On my cycle to work there is a small biofuel station. The smell of the wood chips.

Walking the highways and by-ways this time of year I stop to inhale the coconut / vanilla scent of the Gorse bush. It is especially fragrant when the sun has warmed it up a little.
