Smells Like....

It's not the pigeon POO smell, it's the dusty, clean birdy, warm smell of their backs.

I was trying to think if there was _any_ breath smell I like, and came up with horse breath, you know, if you put your nose in their nose and breathe. I think they like that too. Dog or cat- yuck!

I don't like any smoke/fire smell. But how about a pile of leaves?? Or pine. Or that smell that ice gets in the spring when it's all melty and muddy and dirty.

Pigeon POO - LOL!!!

I'm with you on horse breath - both sweet and, well, clean-smelling!

Lise, I never would of thought that puppy paws smelled like fritos - to me they smell like, well, feet. (note to self to smell dog paws when I get home ).

Fresh coffe, cookies baking, homemade bread, pine trees, my doggies, a clean baby, jasmine and vanilla, lilac, a nice manly scent, mulberry, the smell of a new book, new money....I could go on and on...

Garlic, lemon thyme and rosemary....mmmm time for dinner.

Wet sage and pinyon after a rain. Reminds me of my family's road trips through the southwest.

I also like the smell of bike grease and WD-40, but when the smell has been on my hands for 24 hours I've had enough.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! Did that sound like Gomer Pyle?

Though I am surprised you don't have blue Loctite on that list.

We get fresh mixed evergreen garlands at Christmas time. The smell in the house when you walk in the door is amazing.

lime, jasmine, lemon, line-dried laundry, male pollens (eg date flowers, henna flowers), fresh milk (cow, goat or sheep), Bombay Sapphire gin, Glen Fiddich whisky, sacramental wine, rain, new shoes, winter soup, melted butter.

That's ozone, and it's not good for you to breath it for very long. But you can still enjoy the smell if you want to.

Actually, I read that the smell was caused by the low pressure that moves in before it rains. The lower pressure in the air draws up the higher pressure air in the ground, creating an "earthy" smell. I can't remember where I read this, so I'm not sure if its true, but it makes a lot of sense.

Anyway, my favorite smell that always makes me smile is fallen leaves in autumn. I also love: pine trees, especially ponderosa, in the summer the trunks smell like butterscotch; onions and garlic sauteed in olive oil, fresh basil, a newly opened bag of coffee, the bouquet of a fine red wine swirled in my glass.

What great memories this thread is bringing up!!

Yes, my dog's paws totally smell like Fritos--who knew? LOL
I also love to smell my dog's head. Even when the rest of him needs a bath, his head smells good--to me, at least.
The smell of our bay when the tide's in and it smells like the saltier water in the Gulf.
Fresh coffee--I love the smell of it, but I can't stand to drink it.
A pot of boiling Cajun-spiced shrimp.
The scent a fresh Christmas tree gives to the house.

Warm towels after they come out of the dryer
(Using Downey in the rinse cycle, of course)

Barbeque

The briny ocean breeze at dawn

Linseed oil

My BF's shirt

Candle stores

That first cup of steaming coffee in the morning, freshly ground and brewed, preferably Kona.

Another great thread ......

I love the smell of:

freshly laundered clothes,
my beautiful acoustic guitars,
cinammon,
apples - (esp when we head out to "apple country" to pick some apples)

my husband's pillow, (when I was in the hospital last October, his pillow was my request - so I could feel close to him),

our furcats

home baked cookies (oatmeal raisin or chocolate chip)

*I always thought that dogs paws smelled like sweaty feet/socks -- I can see where "fritos" comes into this *
I LOVE furdogs -- too bad I'm allergic!

I could think of soooooooooo many more things.......

Peace & Love to All,

Denise

Those are exactly my favorite smells!
I also love the smell of a peaceful lake and the worms (or leeches) when I'm out fishing...
and the smell of jet fuel in the morning.....

#1 smell- Gardenias. My Pawpaw had such a green thumb and would have the most beautiful Gardenia bushes. He would cut a bloom off to send home with me, by the time I drove the 20 miles home my car would smell so lovely. Everytime I smell a real (not the silly fragrance junk) gardenia I think of my Pawpaw.

I also like:
-Fresh cut grass (if I have allergy medicine)
-The smell before rain
-Fresh Roses (not the florist kind)
-My DH right after he showers.
-Spice Cake baking (especially my Mammaw's recipe)
-Mammaw's cornbread
