        I love the smell of Yosemite and forests.  There is nothing like the smell of thawing tundra in spring.  I love going into floral shops to buy flowers and smell their refrigerated display cases.  The smell of bread baking is heavenly.  Certain perfume scents like Estee Lauder's Private Collection (her personal perfume) and Chanel's Allure are exciting and the essence of beauty.  There are many fragrances for men that I find terrifically relaxing and exciting too.

          Bread baking, a supreme olfactory joy!

            Pine -- but the real kind, not the cleaning kind.

            Vanilla. Yumm!

            Also agree on bread baking!

              Besides gasoline, I also like the smells of: nail polish, rubber cement glue, and permanent ink markers. Why would I like these smells so much, I wonder? It is very intriguing, and there must be a reason behind it. I would be fascinated to find it out!!!

                  What an interesting study conducted by BYU!

                  As for this question, I love the smell of the surf!

                  As far as cleaning products, I'm not a huge fan of lemon-scented cleaning stuff; on the other hand lavender and orange cleaning products are great. Also, the scent of fresh lemon rinds being ground in the disposal is just heavenly!

                    Cucumbers! The smell is so fresh and clean.

                    And for those of us who are old enough to remember, mimeographs in school. EVERYONE would hold them up to their noses and inhale deeply when they were handed out. Maybe mimeograph machines should be brought back to help with discipline in schools!
