What's your favourite smell/scent/aroma?

They say when you are selling your house and showing people round to have coffee brewing and cakes or fresh bread baking.

Tar!
I know it is a strange one but when we were children, hundreds of years ago, we used to go down to the seaside occasionally to lepe and, if we were really well off, Hayling Island. We used to drive past Fawley Power Station near Southampton and I used to love the smell as we drove past. I still remember family days out when I smell fresh tar on the roads.

I have whizzed past the list VC so that I can do my own and then compare!
The smell of summer - that is a combination of newly cut grass, honeysuckle and a faint tang of creosote
Lilies
Sweet peas
A clean baby
Chips after you've put the vinegar on them
Walking past a balti house on a winter's evening
Freshly baked bread
Coffee brewing
Warm roads when it's raining
Garden bonfire

I also really like the smell of holidays! That combination of hot rocks, dust, pine and crushed herbs that you get in Turkey, Greece, the eastern Mediterranean. So evocative.

Bacon cooking in the shed, mixed with the smell of freshly cut grass

I love the smell of thistle flowers, roses are another favourite.

I can so agree with warm horse
Bacon (I could so easily be a vegetarian but for bacon)
onions in butter
Babies

That smell when I walk in the polytunnel in early September which tells me the melons are ripe!

Also the smell of the clematis outside our front door, a big hit of vanilla with a hint of chocolate.

The sweet peas outside the patio doors which have been wafting in whilst we've had the doors open for the last few days.

The Ena Harkness Rose outside the back door.

I could go on.......
