I’m feeling some baby pangs at the moment (seriously), so Dove’s Baby Soap, Ivory Snow and clean baby smell. =) (@Grisaille volunteered to be the baby daddy. Turkey baster anyone?)

Oh, and lavender.

Gasoline.
Fresh paint.
Match smoke.
Cigarettes before they are lit.
My dog’s paws.

If anyone could explain to me why my dog’s paws smell good, and how I came to know this, I’m all ears.

Roses, jasmine (there has always been a lot of jasmine at every house associated with my family, my mom loves it and puts it everywhere), freshly-cut grass, that “wet” smell after it rains (reminds me of my grandmother’s house for some reason), my cats, my favorite stuffed cat, this smell that my vacation home at Tahoe has and everything that we bring there seems to absorb, etc.

TooBlue's avatar

The smell of the air a couple hours before it rains. Sooo good. And the smell of blown out candles is fantastic.

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

Oh, and lemon Pledge. Mmmm.

@jjmah Damnit! Grisaille always gets to have more fun than me. ;)

Freshly poured wheat beer.

Baby powder (but I do discriminate between different baby powders / baby powder scented items. Baby powder deodorant, for instance, is usually terrible, while the smell of a freshly-hatched Cabbage Patch doll from the 80s is awesome).

Baking bread.

Vanilla (again, I discriminate between chemically-smelling vanilla products and authentic-smelling vanilla products).

Whatever plastic it is that they often use to make, say, a pig’s nose on a string to put over your own nose, and certain other toys.

Grisaille's avatar

I like a lover’s neck. That’s nice.

I do quite like that newborn baby scent, too. (sup, @jjmah)

Jude's avatar

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities You’ll be my other baby daddy. I’ll have a couple. If I didn’t, it’d be a tragedy. ;-)

jonsblond's avatar

The smell of pine on a windy day.

Now I can’t get that Bee Gee’s song out of my head.

The smell of pipe smoke. Any kind of baking, but bread in particular. Coffee, especially Gloria Jeans in the mall, and my Starbucks. The first whiff of a struck match, the stick kind. The first whiff of gasoline at the pump.

SuperMouse's avatar

The top of my man’s head, his neck, and…
Pipe smoke brings me immediately back to my childhood kitchen and Channel #5 reminds me of my grandmother.

Low tide on a cool day. Cut grass, yes yes yes! Old dry wooden boards in the sun.

Copy-machine toner. Cosmetic/hair oil/sunblock smell infusing the air when you get off the plane anywhere in Mexico. Rosewood bath oil. Vicks. Automotive lacquer mmmmmmm.

When I was in NC, I had to pass by Krispy Kreme doughnuts all the time. . . . I now wonder why Dunkin Donuts do not have a similar olfactory pleasantness.

I forgot my very favorite smell from nature; citrus blossoms. If the web had smell-o-vision, I would so link it.

Haleth's avatar

Morning smells are great. When you go outside in the early morning and it’s all dewy and misty on the grass, it smells wonderful.

fireflys's avatar

citrus, fresh rain, cut grass, apple pie…

AstroChuck's avatar

Oh. And that smell under a band-aid.

Berserker's avatar

deni's avatar

@Haleth YOU ARE RIGHT. I especially enjoy the smell of warm (not deathly hot) summer mornings. Oh glory.
