What are some of your favorite smells ?

[Jessica]

It's been raining for a few days here in Indiana and while most people hate the downpours and storms, I love them ! Especially the smell . I have a few "odd" things I love the smell of . For instance I love the smell of skunks! And the inside of Menards/Lowes. Gasoline is another weird one of mine. But my all time favorite is patchouli ! What's some of your favorite smells ?

I have to say the smell I miss the most is the 8x12 tack room at my previous farm. It was filled with 4 saddles, tons of bridles, and lots of leather scraps for repairs. I think it was a combination of leather and horse scents. So calming

Gasoline was but it seems to be fading maybe it's the new gas additives that ruined it for me.
Tire stores.
Petrichor, that's the smell of rain after a dry spell.

Bacon, everyone loves bacon don't they?

On a more personal note, I love the way my wife smells.

I am not only complicated but I seem to be a bit conflicted as well.

I love some of these ! So unique and interesting ! Next to music, scents seem to be my biggest memory trigger. I have epilepsy so my memory is pretty bad but when I smell something from my past it's like someone just turned on a movie projector in my mind. ✌

Absolutely!
The other evening we had the windows open for the first time this year, and just smelling/feeling that fresh air in the house in the evening - put me right back in the 70s in my childhood home, and I could imagine a baseball game coming from my father’s little green transistor radio...
