Cedar, or that “pine tree” or “Christmas Tree” smell. I once had a sachet of cedar (I think it was) and I used to pull it out and just sniff it. I’d always have a strong “flashback” that took me back to the mountains every time.
I also special order these bath soaps from a little shop in Ferndale CA. The scent is called “Redwood Moss”. Mmmm…the same kind of smell.
I came into the thread thinking, * any smell * and some people took it that way, and others went with perfumes, so, for the perfume, I LOVE ‘Cinnabar’ by Estee Lauder.
As for just aromas: cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin spice, baking bread, roses, and whatever those Christmas bags at JC Penneys have in them!
[hijack] Anti Pro I love your sig. [/hijack]
Mmmmmmm, chooooooocalaaaaaate.
Bergamot. The main ingredient in Twinings Earl Grey Tea.
coconut…it reminds me of the beach
If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my underwear.
My favorite smells are vanilla, blueberry and freesia. I burn candles with those aromas in my home, and the combination smells heavenly to me. Wish I could find a perfume with that combination.
I wear Clinique Aromatics Elixir perfume, and people are always telling me how good I smell, so I guess it works well with my body chemistry. It is pretty strong, so I use very little.
On the topic of your mom’s perfume-about 6 months after my mom died, while I was still pretty actively torn up by her absence, one day this woman walked into my office. I had this wonderful feeling of peace and safety sort of waft over me. When she came by again, I realized that she was wearing “White Shoulders” perfume, which my mom always wore when I was a kidling. It is amazing to me how much smells take you back to wherever you were and whomever was wearing them when you first smelled them. I associate both good and bad things with different aromas.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
( well someone had to say it.)
I’m fond of fresh lilac in a sachet. I have a bush in my yard.
The smell of bacon frying over a birch log campfire makes me drool.
I despise patchouli. It smells like someone hasn’t bathed in the last month.
I guess I prefer my women (and there’s so many) scentless, or just very lightly perfumed.
You’re the second person on this thread to say that.
People posting so many good smells (mostly) - wish I had a scratch-and-sniff screen.
Perfum: I wear Chanel No. 5 (short spritz under the clothes).
Natural odors: Top on my list is the smell of sagebrush after a good rain (from living in Idaho). Also orange blossoms (from my childhood in southern California).
I love the smell of a rich vanilla candle. Or really, Victoria’s Secret Vanilla Lace body spray and/or lotion is puh-retty sweet (no pun intended) as well. Yup. I like vanilla.
I also adore candles that are apple-cinnamon (or just cinnamon) scented. Hmm. I seem to like food smells. Particularly baking smells…yum!
As far as perfume goes, I like Clinique’s “Happy.” I usually wear that or Victoria’s Secret “Pear Glace” body spray. Ooh, ooh, I also like Bath and Body Works’ “Sun Ripened Raspberry.”
Yup. I like food. And apparently, how it smells.
The smell of sex.
Oh, man. Don’t remember doing that.
