What's your favorite smell?

[NightWatcher]

Sorry but I just walked back to my bedroom and was overcome with the smell of a braid of sweetgrass which has to be my favorite smell.



What's your favorite smell?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. Hotel air freshener. No joke.

It reminds me of family vacations growing up.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. I like Ivory bar soap for the same reason.

We probably stayed in cheaper hotels than you guys. :-)

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Triumph. Especially if it's tinged with revenge and the clean metallic victorious smell of blood.

That, or rhubarb pie.

Depends.

[timtom]

49. Rhubarb pie!!!

Now you've done it.

I need to make one of those -- soon. Just made one last month.

[NJmaverick]

3. Blueberry muffins cooking

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. Bacon!

[trof]

47. Yes! And onions frying. And bacon and onions frying. You know what I say:

If there was a perfume that smelled like bacon and onions frying there wouldn't be an unmarried guy on the planet.
;-)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

78. The smell of stuffing being cooked at Thanksgiving

The onions and celery reducing in a bath of water, black pepper and margarine.

Poured onto the bread with along with clear broth and parsley.

Stir.

I am the family taste-tester. Ah tradition.

[MorningGlow]

16. Close to a braid of sweetgrass

A field of grass baking in the hot noonday sun. Reminds me of summer camp.

Also vanilla, baby-head-scent, and, strangely enough, stale beer (reminds me of college).

88. OMG I can't think of anything more wonderful!

My dream home would have a yard full of citrus trees for the spring blossoms, and red maples for the colors in the fall.

:hi:

BTW, I've forgotten if you already mentioned it; are you actually in Tucson?

[azmouse]

89. Nope, I'm in Glendale.

Our trees are still young, only about 6-7 years old but we already get more citrus than we know what to do with. And the best part is the fruit is really good. :9
