Everyone has their favorite smells, whether they are comforting, exciting, or simply beautiful smells. It could be food, floral, woodsy, holiday-y - anything goes! Please be respectful to each other. Someone might like a smell that doesn't appeal to you, and that's OK! Just be kind. :)

A slightly odd one but I love the smell of a 2-stroke petrol engine. It reminds me of summers with my late grandad, helping him with the gardens.

The forest in the Pacific Northwest in the afternoon in summer. Cedar and fir and hemlock mixed with sword fern, salal, wild rose and earth, all heated and mingled. It’s sweet and green and warm.

I loved huffing the neck of my cat (the late, great Petrushka) after he’d been sleeping for awhile. Eau de Chat!

Wild Honeysuckle. It grew along the backyard fence when I was little. I splet in the back bedroom and woke up to that smell wafting in my room every morning when it was growing. I've been growing some in huge pot on my deck for about 10 years now. I scooped the vine out of the curb in my neighborhood. What a delight to the senses!

The perfect salt air at ‘Sconset Beach.
Privet blossoms in May & June.
A perfume that reminds you of someone or something from your past, like the old Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass.
Hyacinths, especially at Easter.
A fresh pine tree. I’ll never understand “pine scent” candles. None comes even remotely close. Why can’t they get that right?
Sunday dinner of leg of lamb, potatoes and onions.
The way lipstick used to smell when they put a scent in it.
Sometimes typically unpleasant smells like cigarette smoke or diesel exhaust or attic mustiness that evoke warm memories.
Just-cut grass.
An old mosquito repellent named “6-12” - have been looking for an old, unopened bottle for 45+ years just to smell it again.
There are so many more, but that’s it for now.
