What is your favorite scent?

[luckyjulia 30]

Mine is either vanilla extract or coffee.

I also like just about any hand soaps from Bath & Body Works, it reminds me of my aunt 'cause she would always have those in her bathroom.

Fresh cut grass, or after a rain.

[Princess Celestia 929]

The smell of a horse. Overwhelmed by their calm secure being that they are. Now I don't mean the smell of disgusting stables and horse shit. No, the smell of a free clean horse out in the open. It's subtle and soft like nothing else I have smelled.

Vanilla, Spring and fuel.. I'm weird 

[Iforgotmybrain 5,089]

Still the smell of old airplanes, such a unique smell. Like grease, oil, leather, fabrics and that electronics smell all mixed together. Old cars sometimes smell like it too.

The smell of ozone after a storm.

Have never smelled it but sounds extremely romantic ^•^

Gas smells nice, actually. If it's not too much. It smells like a horse powers! Wroom wroom!

 

Talking about me, besides obvious smells of food and flowers I enjoy smell of books. New books have smell of typography, old ones smell totally different but I love it.

Also I like smell of pine forest, It's so humid and mushroomy ^•^ and piney

Freshly cut grass is such a nostalgic scent for me... It reminds me of when I used to play outside as a little girl. Rain is also a favorite scent of mine that I totally forgot about. It's kinda like aromatherapy, it relaxes me and makes me feel at ease.

I had a good laugh while reading this. Horse shit is most definitely a repulsive smell. But I've never actually smelt a horse before, the way you describe it makes me curious as to what it's like. I've been thinking of taking a horseback riding class, and my main fear is that the horses would stink, but I know the place I'm thinking of takes care of their horses really well and hearing that (clean) horses don't smell bad totally eliminates that

I used to like the scent of fuel too. I don't know why, but as I've gotten older it's become less appealing to me. Maybe it was that one time my mom spilled fuel on my shoes? I'm not sure. But either way, liking the smell of fuel is actually pretty common

That rain smell is a definite fave. Also jasmine flowers and redwood trees.

Apologies for the carnal nature of mine 

A cooking steak and my girlfriend's neck 

[Gaines 1,211]

Cashmere Woods  or almost anything cashmere related! It's a nostalgic scent to me.

My top three five:

• A concrete driveway when it just starts to rain.
• The musty smell when you turn your furnace on for the first time of the season.  So cozy. 
• When you first walk into a pizzeria.  Not the pizza itself, although that's great, too, but specifically just the smell of the whole place and everything cooking combined right when you step in.
• Mixed Halloween candy.  Specifically, a bowl full of various name-brand chocolate miniatures.  So, get a variety pack of Hershey's miniatures with the milk, dark, Krackle, and Mr. Goodbar, some mini Reese's cups, Twix, Snickers, and a few Nestle Crunch's for good measure, stir that all up in a big bowl, the stick your face in and long inhale.  That is unequivocally my favorite smell on Earth.  It's deliciousness, carefree innocence, and nostalgia combined

Yes, this.  They smell wonderful, don't they?

[Dreambiscuit 9,353]

Freshly blooming Jasmine (especially Star Jasmine), hot asphalt, chlorine, gasoline, Sharpie markers, new leather, new cars, new plastic toys, smog, and freshly cleaned hotel rooms. It’s unfortunate that no one seems to make air fresheners in these scents. Go figure.

new plastic toys,

I can't believe I forgot about this one in my post! I also love the smell of fresh plastic and vinyl. I used to sniff the heads of my LPS all the time

[Lucky Bolt 35,058]

I will be the first to say my favorite scent is that of my husband.  He always smells so good to me, especially when we cuddle. Other than him though...I love the smell of candles, dinner cooking, and freshly cut grass and rain on a hot summer afternoon. 

[VixyVixen95 96]

Vanilla in general 

Then rose (I know I know, smell like toilet perfume ) 

And last one, plastic when you buy a new toy, video game or any mechanical system (I mean, the scents of mech stuff in theme parks!!!)

Aww, That's so cute

But steak... The smell of steak is enough to make my mouth water even if I'm not hungry. The way my dad makes it is sooo good, it's always been a favorite food of mine since I was a child.

This scent is my entire childhood! It's the only scent of air freshener my parents will buy, and I don't blame them. It's a delightful smell

Yes, this.  They smell wonderful, don't they?

The smell of pizzerias is so delicious... I haven't been to a pizzeria in a while. This is making me want pizza now

My stomach is grumbling... I think I should go get some food

Yessss this one too! Roller coaster lift chains always smell like that. The D.C Metro had the same smell to it as well. A mix of grease and oil and metal.

[Megas 27,506]

Seared onions and I'm dead serious about that. It's a good indication that dinner will be delicious

[EpicEnergy 23,104]

Deisel fuel and other types of fuel are some of my favs.

I like Glade's Berry scent, whatever they call it now. Years ago it was Radiant Berry, but I don't think they call it that anymore. It's always a good scent whatever they call it, though! lol I always used to have a candle of that in my bathroom.

Glade's Peony and Cherry was also amazing. I don't see it around anymore. =(

For perfumes I like Victoria's Secret's Love Spell and Bath and Body Works' Rose.

For body wash I like Suave's Cherry Blossom. Cheap, but smells good! (Most scents called Cherry Blossom I don't like, though.)
