What are some of your favorite smells?

[HenryBHough]

Diesel smoke on a crisp November morning.

Brings back memories of better times in a beautiful place.

 

[petro]

Diesel smoke on a crisp November morning.

It's gotta be the old school smell like our jobsite forklift or those old school buses before the clean burning models.

 

[Dalia]

Le muguet, May 1 only France

 

[Damaged Eagle]

The smells inside of an Italian restaurant. (Especially when I'm in Italy)

*****SMILE*****

 

[deannalw]

I forgot! All things car. Except that nasty egg fart smell some diesel engines gave out. But especially fast cars.

One time, we went to this burn out contest in Corning Cali. Small town, fantastic shows. There was one diesel truck that maybe could have kept on for days. You couldn't see 5 feet in front of you. The air burned your eyes and lungs and you could taste the rubberized air. It was awesome!!

James kept looking at me and smiling and I thought it was love love love.

But...

When we got home, I looked in the mirror and I had Trump eyes, with black on my face but for around the eyes which was white. I had a floofy helmet of burnt rubber and looked like a coal miner on crack.

He even let me go into McDonalds with him and

never

said

a

word.

DIRTY RAT BASTARD!!

After stepping outside to enjoy a few minutes of the morning sun with coffee & a smoke, I was instantly reminded that spring really is here. I could smell the cottonwood trees. Sure the trees themselves are a PITA with shallow root systems that can break up concrete, and the seeds that make everything look white as snow...but that smell is heavenly to the senses.

Some of my favorite picks...

1. Cottonwood trees

2. Coffee

3. fresh mowed hay field.....lawn grass is good too, but hay is in a class by itself.

4. old fashioned Petunias...…...not the newer hybrid varieties, but the older ones. Usually the large single flowered and darker colored. IF you're lucky will have a wonderful scent that I wish they could bottle up as perfume or room freshener. I love petunias anyway, but when at the garden nursery I'm the one smelling them all to find the old scented varieties. Not an easy task nowadays since most available are the hybrids.

5. Toast.....makes me hungry everytime

6. Popcorn...…...but not burnt

7. Livestock farm.....even though it stinks and can be overwhelming really quick, there is something soothing about it. Years ago, I would have to take a drive thru local farming areas just to get a whiff. Going by the dairy farm at milking time would definitely make my eyes water, even with the windows rolled up, but afterward, I'd feel ready to tackle whatever was before me.



Soooooooo, what are some of your favorites?

The scent of a woman

The scent of freedom

And don't even start me on coconuts or pantene shampoo

What does freedom smell like?

Did you really have to ask me?

William Wallace is seven feet tall. jan Wilijanwala li suli mute. William Wallace is very big.
Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse. a. mi sona. ona li moli e jan mute. ona li lon la ona li pana e seli tan oko ona li pana e suno wawa tan lupa monsi ona li moli e jan Inli.

And I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. mi lukin e kulupu utala Sukosi suli. ona li wile weka e nasin Inli ike. I see a big Scottish militia. It wants to get rid of the evil English system.
You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight? sina kama sama jan ken. sina jan ken kin. sina ken ala la sina pali e seme? sina wile ala wile utala? You come like able men. You are able men indeed.

And dying in your beds many years from now, tenpo mute li pini. sina kama moli lon supa lape sina. Much time passes. You are dying in your bed.

Alba gu bra!

Wtf is that? Looks like Hawaiian dumped into a blender with scrabble letters peppered with an ad for Wawa.

 

[petro]

As a carpenter.
My favorite smelling wood is fresh cut Cedar.
I love when we do Cedar porches and decks.

 

[Damaged Eagle]

Fresh ground coffee in the morning when I grind it. The second thing I do upon waking.

 

[Dick Foster]

Fresh bread baking. The desert just after a rain.

Flying to Tamp bay/ crossing the bridge in a rental car convertible with the top down to Clearwater and smelling that ocean air

Not when the red tide is running of course. Then it's the infamous stinky Tampa Bay. That's what it was called at McDill AFB anyway.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Another really BAD smell, to anyone that's ever been in Washington is what the locals call 'Aroma of Tacoma'......they've been trying to clean it up, but those tide flats could be smelled for miles. Nasty


A great smell is a partners clean skin, fresh out of the shower...….

That is definitely not Gaelic. Looks more like some sort of Polynesian but that's just a wild guess. It has a pseudoGaelic last line under a variant spelling but the rest of it looks entirely fabricated. Google Translate couldn't figure it out either.

The orthography of Gaelic is way way more counterintuitive. Most challenging language I ever studied in terms of pronunciation. Whatever Bear has here is simple and straightforward orthography. Maybe it's Navajo?

Roasting peanuts
Burnt Cordite
..avoid saying that one..uhmm..
My rose buds/flowers.
Oak fire
Oak fire with meat.

 

[bluzman61]

And one of my ABSOLUTE favorites is the smell of my OWN farts. NOT too pleasant for others within a 100 foot radius, but very comforting to ME. I'm comforted in knowing that yes, my digestive IS working correctly. No blocked colon in THIS guy!

 

[DrLove]

Fresh cut grass, good skunk weed and BACON!!

Yes, BACON! I like the smell of ANY meat that is cooking.....

The smell of a bread shop in the early morning.

*****SMILE*****

When I was young I worked in a crummy sweatshop of an industrial laundry.

Across the street was a big ole bread making factory. You get to work and soon you were walking about with your nose in the air. Mmmmmmm! Then you start getting hungry and it starts to get really bad. People wandering around with wide nostrils and crazy eyes. Growling, crying, drooling all over... I had a love hate relationship with that damn bakery.
