Title: What is your favourite smell?
Post by: kitten on Mar 03 06 06:36
One of my favourites would be the smell of stew simmering on the stove on a cold day.

Frankincense and basilica. Not the cheap incense on sticks, but the raw resin burned on charcoal

Freshly ground coffee. MmmMMMmm. Sometime whe I open a new can I practically stick my head down in it and inhale the aroma. It's better than the drink itself.

Coffee's up there for me too....but if you brew that coffee with a campfire going and some bacon frying up on the griddle, it's just a delicious smell.

Bread baking in the oven.....any baking for that matter, but there's something simple, basic and wholesome  about the smell of fresh bread.[/DIV]I love the smell of fresh cut grass[/DIV]Shoe polish (I know, it's a little wierd)

Post by: kitten on Mar 03 06 09:34
Of course COFFEE!  I was drinking my second as I wrote that.  I guess the idea was something besides coffee.  I don't express myself that well in the early morning.   (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/15.gif)

I love the smell of coffee in the morning, or waking up to the smell of the smelly green stuff. I love that smell any time of the day though or night.

I love the smell of lilacs in the spring.  Another choice is the smell of newly cut grass.
Title: Re: What is your favourite smell?
Post by: P.C. on Mar 04 06 09:01
OMG, kitten.  Lilacs were my moms' favourite flower.  There was on old fellow who lived on the corner of our lane when we were kids.  He'd always call us over to the fence if he saw us out playing, and send us home with ARMLOAD sized boquets of lilacs for my mom.  The whole house smelled divine.  So of course they're my fave too.  (I tried to transplant dads lilace bush to my property when dad died, but it just never flowered after I brought it here.) I think it should have stayed where it was.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c020.gif" border=0]

Sweetpeas are another fave in the flower catagory.

I have a nose for that sort of thing.  I started at the first page  (47?) and worked back.  I'll check for more later and post as I find them.  This resurrection of old threads was a brilliant idea.  Good for you, P.C.

I noticed that Vancouver has a smell of it's own. A mixture of fresh sea air, baking bread, weed, and cooking food. I love it. I caught a whiff of something like it the other day and it made me sigh.

Cussons Baby product.

This pic is not as I remembered it on the soap, but I think it is still the same company. It is UK product (I think).

    None of those Johnson & Johnson.
