Favourite scents

[Just a civilian pilot]

Love the smell after I clean my car even though I don’t use any car scent products.

Hate the smell of PEA in fuel system cleaners.

Summer: Mints - have so many that I walk through them which sends the smell across the patio …
Winter: Oak smoke from the pit
Spring: Rain & fresh cut grass
Fall: Oil & gasoline doing PM!

Don’t like: BiL eating cabbage

I'm allowed only one?

Mrs. Kira's perfume (she doesn't wear any)

That was NOT what it said before the edit .

Agree with many listed. Cut grass, Oranges, coffee, BBQ, Mint, onions/garlic simmering, apple pie cooking, old school Liz Claiborne perfume brings some very fond memories.

As others, each personal and hoping not for others to experience theirs, Mrs. Sequoiasoon.

Willie Nelson's freshly worn thong, sling-shotted into the crowd at the chili cook off concert, late in the evening after the festivities. mmm-mmm Love me some Willie!

Love the smell of onion, garlic, and carrots in the pan. Also love the smell of cedar. If I go to lowes or hd I'm smelling up the wood section if I'm not in a hurry.

The scent of sagebrush and junipers in Central Oregon. Also the smell of the alpine meadows in the Cascade mountains.

Anything new. New car, new electronics, etc.

Creosote

Yosemite National Park.

This may sound silly if you've never been in the park, but if you have a blind or visually impaired family member, they can enjoy it, too.

What's your favourite scent? A couple of mine:
- fresh cat grass with gasoline vapors swirling around
- two stroke exhaust on an early morning river ride, bonus points for some fog

Spring rain, Armani Code Cologne. Jet A. I love sitting at the airport gate and the smell of Jet A when they Taxi in. I was joking with someone and said it would be neat if someone made a candle that smelled like a diesel semi, or Jet A. Apparently I'm not the only one as someone makes it.

Tomato plants
Fresh damp forest floor
Honeysuckle
Beeswax

To name a few.

 

[hemioiler]

Few other "man made" ones:
- "mr clean"
- mitchum unscented (which is funny they call it that, it's a very mild scent compared to axe or old spice which burn out my nose)
- freshy cleaned pillow after a long winter day

Pantene shampoo.

I had a serious jones for a girl I knew many years ago who had a gorgeous mane of thick red hair that smelled of Pantene. It made me a fan of redheads and that Pantene scent for life.

I didn't get the girl, unfortunately.

Sometimes its less about the scent and more about how you're feeling when you always notice it. Positive feedback loops etc.

I've read that your sense of smell is hard wired into the brain's limbic system.
