What is your favorite smell?

Old enough to know better
I am doing laundry right now, and the clean, soapy smell is just soothing.

We used to walk through the gangway behind a laundromat on our way home from school as kids, the main vent forced nice, warm, clean laundry-smelling air out, and in the winter it was SO nice to warm up halfway home!

What is one of your favorite smells?
 
My favorite smell would be fresh cut grass.
I've always like the smell of fresh cut grass, it doesn't really point to any memory. Unfortunately I cut grass all day long and have for the past 6 years and now the smell hardly registers at all :(.
 
Mine would be the smell of fresh cut grass also. Here in Maine it is like the official start of summer when you can go out and mow the lawn. The smell invokes happy WARM thoughts LOL
 
Mine is the smell of simmering tomato sauce, the garlic and onion reminds me of my mother's and grandmother's kitchen on a Sunday morning, when I was growing up. I'm Italian so it brings back a lot of memories of many loved ones long gone.
 
I love the smell of orange groves flowering. And fresh cut grass or hay. And sheets that have been hung out. And lilacs. Baking bread. The smell of a gasoline motor on a little fishing boat. The stinky smell of the ocean. Horse sweat. Leather.

Edit: rain and worms. Clover. The green pepper smell when you open an egg container and know before looking the eggs are pipping!

Edit: peonies and citronella insect repellent, for horses.

Forgot the smell of horses, doesn't even have to be their sweat. They hold a great memory from my childhood. We have 2 horses still and I like to go and hug them just to smell them lol.
 
Hmmm ?? yeah the more I think about it there are a lot of smells that trigger good memories. Every time we go for a motorcycle trip out of state away from the coast then return to the smell of the ocean it's then I get that feeling of safety and comfort.
Also triggers a remembrance of a scene in the movie The Warriors when the gang returns to the safety the thier home on Coney Island LOL
 
Pink Jasmine is my absolute favorite scent. I could stand there and smell that forever. Hyacinth and Narcissus are close seconds. And then vanilla just because omnom cookies.
 
I have way too many favorites. XD

The smells of rain and snow in the forest.
Lilacs and heliotrope (another sweet-smelling purple flower).
Vanilla and chocolate.
Fresh paper--i.e., new books and trading cards.
Wood smoke and pine/spruce/cedar.
The smell of horses.

Acquired taste: The smell of chlorhexadine. It's a cleaning agent used a LOT in vet clinics.
 
Lycari, you're a vet tech too? :D

And yes, I do like the smell of chlorhex too. Not the accel we use where I work though; I think I'm actually becoming allergic to the accel as it sends me into coughing fits and causes my throat to instantly burn. :/
 
My favorite smell is manscent.
My favorite fragrances are freshly mown sweet grass, ripe durian fruit, banana shrub flowers, Amorphophallus titanum flowers, chocolate oncidium, and bible leaf. The stinkers because its interesting to observe persons experiencing them for the first time.
 
That I am, Shiari! ^^ I just graduated a little earlier this year. ^^ I was aiming to be a veterinarian, but considering the murderous unemployment rate, I decided to become a pharmacist instead and aim to work in a compounding pharmacy specializing in veterinary pharmacology. :) So, I'm a vet tech training to be a pharmacy tech so I can get a job in a hospital that will help me pay for pharmacy school so I can someday make antibiotic rice krispies for rhinos. XD

Veterinary medicine is my first and true love, though, and my clinic is awesome. <3

I also find it amusing that there are two vet techs on this site with the exact same first name. XDDD

On topic: I also love the smell of tea. <3
 
I don't know if I have a favorite, but I love the smell of leather and new tires. I almost never get my nails done, but I love the chemical smell of nail salons too. And I agree with everyone who said fresh cut grass.
 
Yeah, I like the smell of freshly cut grass, but only when someone else has done the cutting....... :laugh:

I wouldn't know I'm always the one doing the cutting!!! Wonder how it would look if a lawn care company owner hired out his own lawn lol!

Jasmine.

I think that the eternal forever after, Nirvana, heaven, the Elysian Fields...would smell like jasmine.
It transcends even passion and sentiment.

Neroli, from bitter orange tree blossoms, and just orange blossoms themselves both smell very good to me.

Violets.
Magnolia blossoms.

The ladies' perfume Anais Anais...smells very good. (Probably because of jasmine.)

I LOVE night blooming Jasmine, orange blossoms (our orange tree died, boo), and Anais Anais is one of my favorite perfumes.

Freshly baked bread, or being in a bakery.

Clean hair.

Bleach in laundry, reminds me of my grandma's basement when we were kids.

Freshly cut grass here too, I miss cutting ours. We don't have much here, mostly desert landscaping.

The smell right after a good rain.

Oh, yes. A man could win me over by making bacon (must be extra crisp, not burnt) and wafting the smell over to me. Mmmmm. Bacon.
