Also, fresh paint, gasoline, and Jasmine flowers.

Since I was a teenager, one of my favorite smells (and sounds) has been racing fuel for a 2-stroke - dirt bike or snowmobile. LOL

[Bjeanj]

Vanilla, gardenia, baked bread

[ThirdOfFive]

A field of clover under a warm afternoon sun.

The simple smell of onion simmering in butter always gets me. It's the beginning of practically every meal I cook and I love it.

Orange Blossoms while driving through a Florida orchard at night with all the car windows open, White Shoulders perfume on a woman, coffee, the nose of a Stag's leap Cabernet Sauvignon, fresh picked green Hatch Chile, salty ocean air from an offshore breeze...

Wow! Not the magic marker, but those are 3 of my favorite smells as well - particularly the Jasmine. I had bought some Jasmine perfume in Bermuda many, many years ago and nothing has ever smelled the same!

[thelegges]

The Wine Room at Winter Park. 50 wines on tap from $1 a ounce to $50. Smells of cheese, and dinner with a sommelier in the cellar. Second my cellar up north

[Nucky]

Diesel Exhaust!

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

Orange blossoms, the nail salon when they're putting on someone's acrylic nails, gasoline, sandalwood, garlic bread.

[Calisport]

Favorite smell, pikake flower. Unusual smell I liked as a kid was bus exhaust for some reason.

[gbs317]

Fresh pot of sauce simmering on the stove like mom used to make every Sunday also
my father was NYPD and on rough nights he would come home and bake a cake and have a fresh pot of coffee, old stovetop peculator type of pot, sitting and waiting for us all in the morning. Now those are great smells!!!

[Jeanette.U]

Peonies, cinnamon, cedar wood

Do you know the brand name? I have yet to find a true new car scent.

The smell of the newly printed document off of the mimeograph machine in school!

[Joanne19335]

Freshly mown grass, salt air, the air after a rain, hyacinth and White Diamonds perfume. And for the men—Lacoste cologne. 😁

[NoMo50]

Bacon frying. Apple pie in the oven. Fresh squeezed limes.

Bread just out of the oven. Turkey just out of the oven. I agree with the person who said skunk (a whiff). Orange blossoms. The bitterness of marigolds. Good whiskeys. A variety of great cocktails. Burning fat on a grill. I agree with freshly mown grass. Even gasoline mixed with freshly mown grass. Freshly split or cut wood. (Each species has its own smell.) Fallen oak leaves. An evergreen forest. Cookies in the oven. Cooking broccoli or Brussels sprouts. (Joking about those—I love to eat them, but the cooking smell is nasty.) The smell of Madeleine cakes brings the remembrance of things past (most famous insider literary reference for the cognoscenti).

"Bacon frying."

OK, you win hands down - lock the thread. LOL

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

I don’t understand

There is a car scent spray called "new car scent" that is supposed to make your car smell like a new car.

The interior of a brand new car has a particular smell to them that is attractive to some folks.

[jbartle1]

Thank you Ecuadog, I need lots of prayers.

[jbartle1]

Thank you patfla., I've been blessed for 46 years.

[jbartle1]

Thank you Beanj, so thankful for all of your prayers.

Most unusual smells are great, for a moment, then they become noxious -- examples, gas, permanent marker, etc.

I like some strains of marijuana, but only for a couple of seconds to a minute, then it becomes a nuisance.

I have one weird smell to share -- red meat -- it makes me gag. I have to be careful when I grill to not smell raw beef or pork or I will dry-heave.


Smells have memory. Smells take me back to long forgotten experiences as a child or young adult.

Puppy's breath is NUMBER ONE in my book, all day long!! To smell it means that I am close enough to kiss all over that puppy's face! If I could bottle that smell, I would.
#2 on the list is fresh cut grass
I do love the smell of a cigar too

[Lonnieme2]

I love the smell of very old churches. Must be from incense.

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

"I love the smell of Napalm in the morning..." I once called in an air strike at close quarters to protect my team instead of high explosives they dropped Napalm a big whooop luckily by a miracle none of us were burned but I tell you the smell from that day is always with me

[BigSteph]

SO MANY mentioned here that 100% yes! coffee, pipe smoke, turkey dressing, apple pie, new car, etc etc.

a bit of research>

Our long-term memory stores the odors we smell as a mental diorama. The olfactory bulb in the brain makes connections with many other brain regions. Associated details such as emotions, people, locations, plants, animals, etc., are stored with it.

Isn’t it strange how some smells—even quite ordinary ones—can trigger particular memories? Everyone has that one smell that takes them back through time, reminding them of an experience they once had. Smells, as it turns out, are very important to how we remember things.

Our long-term memory stores the odors we smell as a mental diorama. Associated details such as emotions, people, locations, plants, animals, etc., are stored with it. It’s as if the brain makes a mnemonic of that experience using the smell as a key. Smelling such odors again will trigger the recollection of that particular situation. This phenomenon is also termed ‘olfactory memory’.
Applied practically, subjecting people to certain smells will cause them to recollect happy memories. This can be used as a therapeutic approach. That feel-good mood we experience while reminiscing in the past has beneficial effects. It bolsters self-esteem and elevates optimism. The connection between one’s past and present grows stronger.

The smell of the cloud of smoke after firing a muzzleloader.

[Rapscallion St Croix]

It's definately not the overwhelming aroma of garlic in American Italian restaurants. I have lived in Italy and have never once had to deal with that smell whilst there.

"What am I supposed to call my Plantation Shutters now?" - That's funny and thought provoking and concerning, all at the same time!

Do your shutters smell? :confused::confused::confused:

[Malsua]

I love the smell of burnt Cam2 115 octane racing gas being ejected out of a loping V8.

It's a sweet smell, not noxious at all. It reminds me of when I was in the staging area, readying for a pass.

:1rotfl: that's a trigger for my early clint eastwood phase! :1rotfl:

[ChicagoNative]

The smell of burning leaves in the fall takes me right back to my childhood. I haven’t smelled that smell in years since the practice has been banned.

[JMintzer]

:1rotfl: that's a trigger for my early clint eastwood phase! :1rotfl:

My wife had (and still has) a Sam Elliot phase... I'm beginning to think it's not a "phase"...

Good thing I look just like him! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
