    Fresh cut orchard grass in hay season
    Coffee
    Vanilla when its not too sweet or strong
    Dogs when they are a few days after a bath and smell like a dog but not stinky yet
    My husbands smell is comforting but there is a fine line of too sweaty

    Fresh baked bread is a good one.

    I forgot the smell of honeysuckle and daffodils. Reminds me of my home of homes. :)

    I like the smell of plastic rafts and inflatable toys, which I know is odd.

    Love lots of cooking smells and it could even be roast, onions, beans.

    I also like many typical scents that others have named like honeysuckle, sandalwood, etc. I like patchouli and it reminds me of being a teenager in the 90s. Same with cloves - the spice or the cigs.

    One of my least favorite smells is baby lotion. I think I associate it somehow with dirty diapers and it kind of gags me, I don't know really (I'm not around babies and not having children so not familiar).

    ... weird word typing that out.

    Anyway, what are your favorite smells? Are there memories associated with them? Worst smell you have ever encountered? Smells that are weird and/or wild? Share your favorite scent here!

    Favorite smell: Old books
    Least favorite: Durian (sweaty onion and custard smell, it's terrible!)
    Memory associated: Smell of rain in the countryside. Reminds me of home.

    Favorites: Cologne that can make a man sexy, depending.
    This men-only body lotion. (Reminded me of my first ex-bf)
    Roasted-Marshmallow candle scents
    Food that came out of the oven, especially baked cookies.
    Clothes that smell like detergent.

    Nasty smells: B.O.
    Breath that smells like bad bananas
    Bad breath in general
    Old meat

    When I lived in Canada, at least in British Columbia, spring was ushered in by the sublime and intoxicating scent of lilacs in bloom. Forever imprinted. Since moving to Arizona, the lilacs have been supplanted by the beautiful aroma of orange groves so there is a divine scent in the desert in spring.

    Fresh cut hay, in the field when you are surrounded by it.
    Fresh roasted coffee beans, just when you open the sealed package.
    Dead bodies decaying in the open.

    I have a feeling there's a good story here, but I'm afraid to ask.

    I like the smell of powder, and fresh rain in the country
    There are certain spices that are commonly used by people from Eastern Europe, and they remind me of my great grandparents
