What is your favorite scent, and why?
My favorites are the smell of the cedar box that my dad and I made one summer, and the lotion that I bought before going on my first date in high school. They give me a sense of calm warmth. I’ve also had scents ruined for me by bad memories, as they remind me of people or times I’d prefer to forget.
What about you?

The smell just before a rain.
I prefer fresh clean smells from nature.
My grandparents home smelled like them. We still have that smell in a few of their furniture pieces in our home…The smell floods me with blissful memories of them.
Mountain air. It has a chocolate scent, it really does. So sweet. I also love the smell of alfalfa hay and horses, rain, the smell of snow and Gardenias, and, dare I say, really lovely fresh marijuana. lol
Least favorite smells, cat litter box, body odor and exhaust fumes. ;-)
The smell of rain on concrete in the summer.
Coffee beans.
I find it calming. In fact, I keep a mug full of them on my desk.

Leather, saddlesoap and sweaty horse. Brings back many happy memories.

Makes me think of childhood.
That and the smell of the ocean.
Freshly laundered clothes. Makes me wanna gobble them up…
Too many to count – all of the above, plus cinnamon – except when they are overwhelming. A marketing gimmick was tried in my local store that ended very quickly. They put in an aroma generating machine that spewed out cinnamon so strongly it almost chocked me.
Now, the stores have put a rather large flower shop in the front corner by the entrance because their marketing team told them it would help put customers in a buying mood. I actually do appreciate that.
