Thanks for bumping this one, Vitauta.
A few more -- mint leaves crushed in your fingers, fresh basil leaves, too; wood smoke; a pine forest; potatoes frying, ditto bacon; cinnamon rolls baking; model airplane glue (just a whiff, not a sniff); orange wood; slightly musty books; carnations; fish fresh-caught from a cold Canadian lake - rolled in cornmeal, frying in Crisco in a cast iron pan on a wood stove.
Love the smells in the country, especially in the spring & fall: Newly upturned black dirt in the fields, morning dew at sunrise, freshly mowed grass, apple blossoms, lilac's, mulberry tree blossoms, harvest time with combining the wheat. My Dh & daughter both have terrible allergies & cannot stand these things, I miss them sometimes.
I never smoked pot when I was a student because the smell when other people smoked it brought me near to vomiting.Now, it just goes to show how different we all can be. Sandalwood incense, any incense, really, nauseates me. Mostly because I smell it and think of my druggie ex husband. The entire purpose on incense in the early 70s, I think, was to mask the smell of pot, which is another hated odor (refuse to call it a fragrance!). The sense of smell is a very strong one in your brain and can lead to many memories, more than a photo or a taste.
Oh, YES!!!!!Besides a lot of the things mentioned here already----
The odor you get when you press your nose up against the neck of a horse.
Heaven.
Oh, YES!!!!!
Not how you would imagine a horse to smell if you didn't know. (Much nicer than babies - sorry Addie)
