Your favourite 3 smells

[Speicher]

I don't think I could limit it to just three, new mown grass would have to be in there, as would the smell of Sunday lunch cooking, plus the scent of the flowers, when I can smell them, but there are a load more I could add, including one I wouldn't put on a public forum.

Oh come on, I am sure you could say it!


oh yes, I see!

.... What?!

[QUOTE 1799487, member: 9609"] Another one nobody has mentioned, the smell when it is snowing - I once read when it is snowing is the only time there is no smell. I'm also curious about that wonderful moment after a shower on a summers day - is that also a no smell moment as the air has been washed clear?[/quote]

You are right actually, and my response is the smell of lightning!
also
The earthy smell when it rains
and
Cut grass

I know this is more than 3, but also
Coffee
Petrol
Used oil, the type you often smell on the railways
Certain types of cleaners that take me right back to a certain time in my life
Fresh sea air
Alpine Air, particularly with a pine forest near by
A restaurant/bar doing food when you first enter
Growing fruit in the air on a summers day
The smell of a coal or peat fire
Polished wood
Leather
Cigar smoke
That new car smell.... umm, there are others, but, anyway

 

[summerdays]

I keep thinking of others ... the smell of a peat fire from my childhood at my grandparents house, and polished floors in school - don't seem to get that smell any more.
