Default What smells do you like/dislike and why?

I like:

Wet paving slabs after a long dry spell - childhood memory
Lily of the Valley - reminds me of walking across Ascot Race Course with my wife to be. There's a nursery nearby.

I dislike:

Bleach - reminds me of trying scrub webbing clean during National Service.

No smells associated with bodily functions please.

I like: the smell of a struck match (been a while since that happened);
the smell of old albums when I open my LP record cases;
the smell from stir-frying garlic, ginger and spring onions;
the fragrance on my wife's neck when it's had time to calm down a bit.

I hate: the ammonia pong when I have to change the cat litter tray, and some of
the exotic fish dishes some of my colleagues nuke in the microwave... yuk!

One I can't make my mind up about is the pong inside ping pong balls - had to cut some open once to make a Halloween mask, in case you're wondering...

Default Re: What smells do you like/dislike and why?

I've always liked the spell of Fresh aired laundry
Farm smells (Have lots of relatives who are farmers)
Proper Seaside air away from Resorts! Have a relative who has a Mobile Home site only 100 yards from the water Have a Peek at this and you get the Best of Both [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

The smells I abhor ...Cooking Eggs (I'm Gone!)
Cabbage Boiling (On Sunday) seems to be going out of Fashion
Bone glue! If you have never done woodwork then you are excused
True story: If you have any Relatives friends in the Accrington Area Putasolutions! will confirm. There was a Animal waste rendering Company who made BoneGlue They were located adjacent to dense Housing and The stench was off the clock (If the Wind Changed) I certainly couldn't live in an area like that
Equal prize goes to a Sugar? refining Firm in North Liverpool (Close to Aintree) Whose product Smelt Like a wet baby smell multiplied many Million times And that was outside.Inside? I had to Hold my Breath when passing this Factory (Walking and driving)

Like
Babies hair
The smell of the earth just after it has rained.
Petrol
Tarmac
Freshly washed bed linen
I used to love the smell of my husbands clothing when he was not around, but after 10 years of marriage it doesn't seam to have the same effect, quite the opposite in fact.

Dislike

Tea
Fried food smells lingering around the house
off milk
ammonia
