Makes Scents
by That is probably the most cliched phrase ever. Second only to "makes cents" haha..
everyone loves the smell of the ocean, and hates the smell of.. duck poop.. for example.
Howeva... what are some UNUSUAL scents that you love or hate?
I'll start.
I love the smell of fresh-cut grass. I love the smell of horses... the vicinity of a stable particularly.
I strongly dislike the smell of baby powder. I HATE the smell of CK1 and CKB or whatever other crappy CK perfume/cologne,... I dislike the scent of most colognes and perfumes actually.. they make me nauseus
now you go
(the cool thing about this is that scent is the strongest sense tied to memory, so a lot of times if someone mentions a scent you can smell it 'in your head' - so i'm looking forward to smelling stuff in my head all day from this thread haha)

i hate the smell of newark and B.O.
Yeah, Newark, Peeeyoo!
whenever my dad tries to tell us that we smell he says he smell like the bottom of a fisherman's boot in newark (he gets to cuz he grew up there.)
How many fingers and toes does he have? Any tentacles? Superfluous nipples? Ask your mom.
are you refering to my dad? or the fisherman that lives in newark?
once i was driving to island beach state park with some girls from new england and they were all "nj stinks" when we were on the turnpike. i said "only newark stinks. the beach is still nj." they liked the beach.
Heh, good for them. New england smells great. Especially the clam chowder.

SMELLS I LIKE:
The smell of summer (the season, people)
The smell of winter when the snow falls
The smell of autumn...when the leaves are changing and falling.
The smell of Coolwater for women
The smell of Polo Sport for women
The smell of clean blankets
The smell of wood burning- campfires, bonfires, wood stoves
The smell of fresh brewed coffee
The smell of earth
The smell of cedar (when faint--not strong like in a hamster cage)
SOME SMELLS I HATE:
Hard Boiled Eggs
Cucumbers
Celery
Heavily doused Perfume
(more, I'm sure, I just can't recall)
as much as i love the summer season, i have to say the smell of autumn and winter surpasses it. when youve got a few neighborhood fireplaces going and the air smells so fresh so clean, it cant be beat. good call todd!
*gardenias
*the first drops of rain that hit the black top

smells i hate
gross stale hockey clothes
strong perfumes that have that cheap smell
gasoline
dirty people (heehee)
the gym
lettuce
Ugh..dirty people! When they smell really sour like rotting flesh?
and the smell of my own fart... it's just not bad.
... however the smell of someones else fart.. ugh is so grosss...
ugh..
but your own flavor is always interesting to you.. and usually to you alone..
AMIRITE?
dont lie.
it's true. but once in a blue i'll gross myself out.
watch what you eat. geez. to kill someone else with it, is ok. but to harm your own nose.. thats terrible
i concur. i also usually like the scent of my sweat.
ok. you need to get married. right away.
i think you vastly misunderstand me. after a hard days work (for example cleaning the house or gardening or rbc since my secular work requires no physical exertion), there is a clean sweat scent. to me this is different than perspiration from the heat (which im not fond of). but i dont think either requires marriage.
Like SunShyne I to appreciate the smell of soil...I HATE the smell of baby powder, oil, powder fresh, or ANYTHING like that.
coffee brewing
fresh school supplies
men's cologne (Coolwater is nice)
chai tea
Chimney smoke air
Gasoline...but only for the first few sniffs...then it makes me kinda sicky.
ooh the smell of ice. Like at a hockey game, or ice skating rink. The fresh smell of the ice. I love it.
OMG i love the smell of ice! its one of the best smells!
i like the smell of dirt when im gardening. its hard to explain, but it smells fresh. of course, the ocean is a great smell.
