I love the smell of cleanliness. The smell of bleach after cleaning the bathroom or kitchen, the smell of a freshly vacuumed floor, and the scent of various other cleaning products.

Minty smells, fresh cinnamon rolls, or other baked goods are a quite delicious. Oooh. Fresh linens.

On the other hand I like the smell of various vehicle related smells. The smell of grease, break fluid, carburetor cleaner, etc. Also the smell of burning gas. Like when you turn the choke on a motorcycle. Also the smell of gunpowder.

oh,I always loved the smell of gasoline.Like,when you're pumping gas at the station.I don't know why,I just always liked the smell.

Which, if I'm correct about what the corresponding perfume is, has notes of deep vanilla, exotic wood, white orchid, and ebony. It smells better and more unique than it sounds I'm a bit confused why they felt the need to list ebony, it should just fall into the "exotic woods" category.

Welp. I don't know. I found the wrapper for this soap. It does indeed say that "No. 6" and "exotic woods" on it, but it also has a prominant "16" on it. No. 16 in their line is this:

Ex Libris is an ancient story with notes of fig leaf, magnolia, bronzed musk and cardamom

I want answers!

lol you should tell a newspaper! have them run a tell-all story about it!

I emailed them, it's the first one.

More "spiced" smells like cinnamon and clove, Dragon's blood, vanilla, baking bread, smoke (in moderation), gasoline, and petrichor. Kinda varied.

Bacon. /bowled over

The wood of a pencil tip just after it's been sharpened is a very nice smell. Wood in general is a wonderful smell, really. I remember in middle school there was a huge leak in the roof. After it was fixed, the hallway it was in smelled like damp wood for a long time. I loved it.

Does anyone else notice that packages have a smell about them when they first arrive? I suppose it's just the cardboard.

I'm not the only one who thinks gasoline smells good? Cool. XD

Ooh I love cloves! Every year on Easter,when my mom makes the ham,I take the job of sticking cloves all over it,just for the smell.

Ahh, my sense of smell is extra-sensitive so the good is wonderful and the bad is.. often intolerable. ><
Favorites, not in order:
Rain / fresh earth (springtime = )
Flowers (top faves being Hyacinth, Rose, Gardenia, Mimosa(!!!), and tomato plants and basil leaves.)
Freshly sawed wood
Freshly washed clothes
The smell of a summer bonfire
Chocolate (not so much milk chocolate though)
Curry..! Oh.. so many foods!
I have a cotton candy scented candle. It makes for happiness every time I happen to catch a whiff. :D

And everything Amane said above: yes!
So many good smells in this thread! Love!

wow,I'm really glad I did this thread.It's really cool to see what smells people really like ^-^

It is!! I've enjoyed reading this thread.. and re-reading.. It's so yummy <3

+ the smell of freshly shampoo'd hair!

Lilac is my favorite smell -- love coming across lilac bushes in the spring. As for food, cardamom puts me in a great mood. I know something yummy is coming, and usually sweet too.

Oh I have so many~ Lilac, vanilla, chocolate, coconut, cinnamon, tide laundry shampoo, fresh ground coffee, and strangely gas from the pumps....

Funny thing is my brother, little sister, and I all love the small of gas.

vanilla. *w* or like, brown sugar type scents. deep, rich, sometimes woodsy. mahogany candles are my favorite.

I love flower scents,they always calm me.The crappy thing is my mom hates flower scents (we go to Yankee Candle constantly,and my mom burns a candle every day) but she loves bakery scents,so I never get to have my flower scents but at least I can smell bakery stuff all the time.My favorite Yankee Candle scent is Buttercream...I've loved it ever since I was little.

I really love the smell of coffee and chocolate (especially brownies)

But I bet that is true of a lot of people XD

oh,I always loved the smell of coffee!

Lilac has always been one of my favorite scents. It makes me think back to my childhood. We had lilac in our back yard, and I used to pick the flowers and give them to my mom all the time. Roses and coffee are wonderful as well.

I also really like coconut, though I despise the taste. My favorite lotion was lime & coconut. (:

Though I must admit, there are a few men's colognes that just...Yes. They smell fabulous. I'd totally wear them just so I could smell myself all day long. (That sounds really weird, but I'm serious)

Pan absolutely loves the smell of food!!! <3

Probably the smell of pastries and cakes being baked... or curry... garlic being fried with butter!

Pan also loves coffee...

Pan loves yummy smell!

I love the smell of hardware stores. Wood and rubber and diesel fuel. I have great memories of my Dad and hardware stores so the small always makes me happy.

I love the smell you get when you walk into the garden section in Wal-Mart.It just smells awesome,and I get to think of my grandfather,who worked there for a while before he died...I also like hardware stores ^-^

I like to open my canister of coffee in the morning and lift it to my nose for a deep smell of the aroma. I just love the smell of ground coffee; particularly in the morning or after dinner.

"The best part of waking up~" lol Wolfie loves making her mom's coffee in the morning.It just smells so good.

I have a lot of favorite smells. Here's some:

Vanilla
Jasmine
Roses
Caramel
After the rain
Flowers blooming in Spring
Chai
Bread baking
Cooking in general
Garlic
A fire

All very nice smells,Anzu! Wolfie has never personally smelled jasmine,but she has always wanted to.
