Just wanted to start a lighthearted subject today with a question what smells do you like??
I like the smell of mail, cigarettes, nail polish, and the new car smell

haha!
You have some funny favourite smells~ then again, I do like the smell of new shoes, cat litter fresh out of the bag, antiques, fresh yeasty bread and newspaper.

I have a collection of incense, too. I mostly like vanilla and sandalwood the best.

Fresh baked desserts or bread of any type, Cashmere Mist perfume, homemade pasta sauce simmering on the stove, laundry just out of the dryer. Mmmmmmm! :)

Good thread!

Vanilla, petrol, cut grass in the summer, and fresh mint.

Actually, I'm also with Weirdy on the smell of antiques. Smells like history! :D

OOh I like this!
Egyptian musk, leather,Con*Tact Caffeine soaps in the bamboo grass and stormy night scents and here is the odd one - purell hand sanitizer.
I am sure that there are quite a few more that I can't think of right now!

In the summer when the sun heats up the black top and then a rain shower rolls through. After the rain stops there is a smell that is beyond reproach.

I think that's called petrichor. I love the smell too, though I don't like rain too much.

That indescribable smell you get during summer evenings of different kinds of street food all being cooked at once.
