GypseeWind Moderator Posts: 3166 From: Dayton,Ohio USA Registered: May 2009	posted March 19, 2010 08:53 PM All time number one, hands down, favorite is, Coconut. The reason is that everytime I smell it, it reminds me of summer. Hawaiin Tropic Coconut oil ~ ahhh, the beach. Swisher Sweets cigars... because my Grandpa smoked them. Actually, a combo of those, and Old Spice cologne, can literally bring tears to my eyes. I like pomegrante lotions and shampoos and stuff too....mmmmmm. IP: Logged

I love lemon based perfumes as well. :edit: oh you said - and why? I guess lemon reminds me of freshness.. spring, summer.. It's very invigorating and it wakes me when I have my morning shower.

starkiss1 Knowflake Posts: 450 From: Registered: Jul 2009	posted March 20, 2010 02:18 PM I love light powdery tones, cos they smell clean. Andd if there is a citrusy hint in it, I go to heaven. And love cooking smells. Roast chicken with lemon, garlic and rosemary smell from the oven puts me in a great mood. IP: Logged
katatonic Knowflake Posts: 3482 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted March 20, 2010 04:42 PM yes, so many! i will go with jasmine, gardenia, and sauteeing garlic!! but also coconut, horses, clover, roses, cedar and pine. most of them are evocative (especially the horses!!) but all of them are just heavenly and put me in the zone...

GypseeWind Moderator Posts: 3166 From: Dayton,Ohio USA Registered: May 2009	posted March 21, 2010 02:10 AM I like new office supplies too. Like new paper and stuff. AND crayons!! ooohhh! And markers, but you shouldn't sniff markers too much, lol, look what that has done to me! LEXX, I was gonna say fresh cut grass too. Does anyone else think that it smells like watermelon?? I do for some reason. IP: Logged
Yin Knowflake Posts: 1281 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted March 22, 2010 01:25 PM Almost all the scents LEXX mentioned. I connect different scents with different memories. Musk and amber are my number 1. Lilly of the Valley Jasmine Coconut Ylang-ylang Aghh, so many more. I'm a sucker for scents/ smells. Funny that I wasn't familiar with the smell of skunk when I first came to the US and it smelled like burned rubber to me, not offensive per se, just unfamiliar. I also noticed that LEXX didn't mention vanilla or lavender. It's funny that those two are probably my least favorite. IP: Logged

teasel Knowflake Posts: 690 From: Ohio Registered: Apr 2009	posted March 22, 2010 03:22 PM I love lemon and vanilla. Peach, lavender... I love the fresh fruit and vegetable section, in food stores. Freshly cut grass. Coffee brewed in the morning (although I hate the taste of coffee). Bread baking. Anything that smells good, when baking (cinnamon rolls, etc). As long as it's contained, and not too strong: the smell of something burning, in the air - especially on cold days. Pine trees. I miss the smells from having a real tree in the house, every Christmas. (The last time we had a real tree, was 2004). I could go on and on with this list... IP: Logged
starkiss1 Knowflake Posts: 450 From: Registered: Jul 2009	posted March 22, 2010 04:30 PM Yep, cut grass does smell like watermelon to me too. Seaweed smell in the harbour of a small town, where I live, is gorgeous. Scent of rain I can't get enough of. Wet dog's smell is comforting, Weird. IP: Logged

AcousticGod Knowflake Posts: 2684 From: acousticgod@sbcglobal.net Registered: Apr 2009	posted March 22, 2010 06:58 PM I'm not an over-spicer where garlic is concerned (I hate when people overdo the garlic), but something in that scent is generally good. I love so many scents. IP: Logged
BlueTopaz124 Knowflake Posts: 149 From: Portland, OR, USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted March 22, 2010 10:13 PM There are so many scents I like too. Most are just favorites, others have good memories connected to them: Tresor Parfum by Lancome, my favorite personal fragrance Freshly ground coffee Freshly opened jar of peanut butter (has to be Skippy) First rain on the asphalt Smell of my cat(s) fur after they finished cleaning themselves before a nap. Lavender essential oil Fresh roses or rose scent, it reminds me of my grandmother My son's head as a baby I'm like Lexx, Old Spice Men's Aftershave, memories of my father The smell of the incense they used during mass when I was younger in church Popcorn as it's being popped A warm mug of Oolong tea Ozone-y scented laundry detergent. I'll add more when I think of them I like the smell of Sharpies too. Also the first whiffs of gasoline when it's going into your car tank...then it's nauseating. IP: Logged

I love Lily Of The Valley too! teasel & cpn_edgar_winner.. Brewed coffee yes! BlueTopaz124 Oh yes! The smell of my son's head/hair as a baby. And I know what you mean about cats! Wonderful! And yes! Popcorn as it's being popped A warm mug of Oolong tea.... I like Earl Grey too! Sawdust, wildflowers, oddly Goldenrod, Ragweed, Dandelions and many other "weeds". Pumpkin or Banana, or spice nut raisin bread baking. A good Cognac. Caramel, Hazelnut. Rain, sea spray. Car exhaust in small amounts. That electric ozone odor right before a big lightning strike. And a few people who have a natural body odor that is like a perfume! ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student... Learning is eternal. }><}}(*> IP: Logged
GypseeWind Moderator Posts: 3166 From: Dayton,Ohio USA Registered: May 2009	posted March 22, 2010 11:59 PM It's funny because alot of the scents mentioned, I like as well.. Mass insense Vanilla *Cinnamon (wait did anyone mention cinnamon?) etc... But, if they are really concentrated, they give me a bad headache. Oh, Lexx, seaspray!!! To smell and to taste! For some reason I can't stand the smell of brewing coffee. It started during second pregnancy. But I still drink it! So, I leave the room while it's brewing. OH OH OH, and clothes dried on a clothesline!! mmmmmm!! IP: Logged
