Your favourite 3 smells

We had a concrete and plastic floor at school and hard luck if you fell!

I forgot to mention, the smell of a BBQ and the smell of something being flamegrilled.

Also, actually, the smell of Irn Bru

Are you sure you were at school and not some other type of institution?

The smell of chilled wine on a summer's evening. (And quite a few other evenings)

I'm amazed at how many peeps say fresh cut grass.
Can't abide the smell, but I suppose it's down to me hating doing gardening and suffering from hay fever.

I work for a perfume manufacturer so my favourite "work" smells are:

Citral (a zesty sherberty smell like lemon-scented balm)

Oudh (a tarry extract from burning oudh wood, popular in Arab perfumes)

Amber (what lingers on your clothes after you've worn perfumes like CK One)

 

[MattHB]

Bike shops (ooooo the rubber)

Cut grass

Warm spring air
