I can do 10

1. Marmite. I like to open the jar and have a quick sniff.
2. Lemon and lime marmalade.
3. Tomatoes. The smell they leave on your hands when you have handled them
4. A sweet rose
5. Lavender
6. Freesias. Just love the smell of them when you walk into a room first thing in the morning.
7. Hyacinths. Again first thing in the morning.
8.Washing that has dried on the line out side.
9.Yasmin flowers.
10. Freshly baked scones

How's that for you VC?

Ok. Go for the smell of marmite then

[greenishfing]

Coffee brewing first thing in the morning. The mere thought of it is enough to get me out of bed.

I couldn't possibly pick a favourite among all the scents and smells I love, but they are all mostly plant, animal, or food related.

Some of my favourites, in no particular order
Sweet peas
Lavender
New mown hay
Roasted garlic
Hot fresh bread
Warm horse
Old fashioned roses
Cow byres
I could go on, the list gets longer the more I think about it.

Brylcream - it remind me of my Grandad.

[Guest]

The usual flowers, food but I also like the odd waft of petrol or creosote

[Yasai]

Was gonna say green tea -love the smell of green tea shops- but seeing as it's Britain I'll say barbecues... even though the food seldom lives up to the smell

[Nicos]

Without sounding too mushy ( I hope?????)

My OH


I could give you a list of at least 40 other scents I adore ( just thought them up in about 2 mins!!!)
I think I'm a very 'smelly ' person if you know what I mean????

Next door's Sunday Roast

[Florence Fennel]

Changed my mind Chick - rain.

[JanieB]

Coffee and warm bread
Lavender (before its picked)
And ahead of either of those the smell of flowers in the garden when they're in season. Lilac, roses, honeysuckle, primroses, philadelphus, etc

There was a town garden near my junior school that had a "blind" garden where all the plants were grown for the way they smelled. I loved it and have never seen anything like it since.

Mines between Marmite and bread straight from the oven.
