A particularly fragrant one, flowers/plants etc. or something else, like the ocean perhaps or maybe you like the smell of burning rubber & gas…I dunno see!

@rebbel-It’s not native to where I am :(
Freshly burned paint??

rebbel's avatar

Yeah.
My father was a house painter (as was I, for a few years) and I loved it when he used his blow torch, to burn off paint from, for example, window sills, or a door.
That smell I can recall vividly.
Together with a scraper you can fast take off several coats of paint that way.
Nowadays, open fire torches are prohibited for that method.

Not sure if this works on polyurethane…;-)

@rebbel My dad handed me a wire brush and scraper to do that. He must have been mad at me.lol

Freshly cut grass makes the whole area seem fresh. I love the scent of lilac and honeysuckle. I love to be walking and suddenly smell either. The smell of bread baking outside the bakery is also a nice surprise. If you have a huge commercial bakery in your area you know that a whole town can be enveloped in that delicious smell.

Possibly not so much mad at you, as careful and caring that you wouldn’t burn the house down with an open fire torch :-) @lucillelucillelucille

@rebbel Well. there is that.:)

Mmmm, my favorite Question in awhile, I have a great sniffer.

Fresh cut hay fields, dirt after a rain, French lilacs, roses.

And just to throw you off, I adore the smell of fresh tires, weird but true.

Hot dry winds blowing through the pines in the high desert in California, Big Bear Lake. The smell is terrific !

The smell of a campfire.

Apologies for taking a while, life called :-)

@Sagacious There’s a bakery practically on our doorstep & so I know & love that gorgeous smell too well.
@KNOWITALL Glad you like it pet :-)
You did throw me a little with the tyres, although to be fair, I see what you mean.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@ucme I’ve never met anyone who liked new tire smell….are you saying you do, too? lol
It makes my husband giggle so much.

ucme's avatar

@KNOWITALL Kinda, yeah lol
I know I loved the smell of my tyres whenever I got a new bike as a kid, same thing right?
I also love the smell of car showrooms, that wonderful aroma of brand new machinery & upholstery hits you like a kiss from an angel :D

Cow pasture, the fresh earthy essence of a recently created cow pie.

Nothing says “natural agriculture” like a cow pie.

Other than the bakery, I can smell the sweet aroma of V-Bites

It’s a factory manufacturing vegan products & again, It’s right on my doorstep.
Don’t know if you guys remember Heather Mills?
She was briefly married to Paul McCartney a few years back, she owns the plant…true fact!

Burning leaves.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@kritiper You’d love my neighborhood, they’re all obsessed with burning leaves. When I pulled in last night, my neighbor had his entire fence line burning, surrounding his house…lol
