I just LOVE the smell of...

[PeterPan09]

Ha ha, chlorinated water all but causes night sweats for me; I was so bleeding sick of it after swimming competitively for more than 20 years.

One more: Yankee Candle At Home Rice Milk candles. I found an old one in a closet yesterday and have been burning it all day. It's FABULOUS. Totally fills the room with fragrance and I could even smell it on my clothes last night after burning it for a few hours. Of course, I don't know if they still make these, so I may be SOL after this one. Sigh.

See, that's the thing-you were actually good at it and competitive. If you were just average like I was, swimming was fun!!

The original Covergirl pressed powder in the brown compact. My mom always smelled of it when she kissed me good-bye before she left for work.

My kids freshly bathed
The smell of a charcoal grill in the spring/summer time.

Fresh peaches~with the skin still on.

And as others have said...chlorine, gasoline (not exhaust), and the old permanent markers that are hard to find now. For good reason.

the smell of Martha's Vineyard...ocean combined with beach plum roses, I think. It is unique and lovely and I wish I could bottle it and bring it home every time I go!

My dog's paws. Seriously! For some reason, my family finds that strange.

That's ok, I love the smell of my kids toes!! LOL Sometimes I pull off their socks and smell their toes! Right where the back of the toe meets the foot is the best!! LOL

Do they smell like Fritos? My dog's feet smell like Fritos...

Ree from The Pioneer Woman, is obsessed with her basset hound Charlie and his feet. When ever she get a whiff of his FRITOS smelling paws, she gets hungry for bean dip.


I love the smell of Hawaiian Tropic OIL - not so much the lotion, but the oil is to die for.

Napalm. In the morning.

I'll take movie quotes from Apocalypse Now for 2 thousand Alex.

DH use this one every now and again.

Awww, the combination of Oil of Olay and Chantilly perfume reminds me of my grandmother. I smelled it on an older woman after my grandmother passed and started to cry. I love Chanel No. 5, it reminds me of my mom.

Oh my goodness, I love this thread. I love smells in general. But, my favorites:

Snickerdoodle cookies
Mint
Gasoline
Freshly cut grass
Hot asphalt
The Quaker Oats factory in town
Lavender
Bath & Body works stuff: sensual amber, vanilla noir, creamy coconut, jasmine vanilla, and warm milk & honey
Puppy's breath -- I work for a small-ish company, and the owner has 3 St Bernards that he brings into work occasionally.. and they have the best breath.
Old books and used book stores
Dry-erase markers
New shoes
Fabric softener sheets
Tanning lotion - I use Hempz and it is amaaazing.

Also, confession time.. I don't have children, but I buy the Johnson's Bedtime lotion & bubble bath for babies because it smells SO good.

Huff much???

 

[LisaR]

LOL!!

I don't care. I'm not giving up my doggy foot sniffing habit!

I'm with you. We live in a world where we have to cut back on our sugar, fat and alcohol intake. We have to exercise daily, work, grocery shop, cook and clean. There has to be some pleasure left somewhere. If that means smelling my dogs bacteria laden paws everyday, so be it.

 

[momof5boys]

OMG!!! I'm crying! My DH asked what I was laughing at, read to him about dog's "Frito feet" so he called our Rottie in here and is sniffing her feet! Dog is freaking out(she doesn't like her feet touched) and I am LMAO! He agrees they smell like Fritos! Gross!
