postywiththemosty

What smells just make your day?

Personally I love:

• How it smells just after it rains
• Sunscreen on a hot day
• Cake baking
• How matches smell right after you blow them out

- How it smells before a snowstorm.
- Fresh cut grass.
- Brownies baking.
- The way the house smells when I make homemade spaghetti sauce.
- The breeze when on the beach.

Love the smell of coffee and the ocean. I like the vanilla smell of a baking cake or cookies.
I'm also a werido and actually enjoy how cigarettes smell. I have never been a smoker, nor do I want to be, but I must admit I like the way they smell.

Oh man that sounds amazing.  I forgot to add the smell of garlic cooking!  It's delicious!

* The smell of a BBQ or smoker
* Of course the smell of sweets baking
* Coffee brewing 
* The smell of Paco Robanne Million Cologne on DH
* Freesia Blossoms that are currently blooming in my garden

- COFFEE
- the ocean
- Chlorine (I know this is weird, but I was a competitive swimmer my whole life and lived in the pool. And then coached in college so it's just very comforting)

@notachanski I like the smell of cigars! But I have never nor do I ever want to smoke anything. I just think they smell awesome. 

My favorite smells are rain and fresh cut grass, hands down. Also love the smell of the ocean.

Oh gosh...

- Hay
- Lilac
- White Musk perfume (which I don't wear, but it reminds me of something in my childhood, I just can't put my finger on it.)
- Any sort of Italian meal cooking (pasta, sauce, garlic, etc)
- Ham baking in the oven

My list could go on and on! Most of my favorite smells are remaniscent of my childhood and very comforting.

@kat0607 hay is an interesting one. I personally can't stand it but to each her own  lol.

I love the smell of:
*Coffee brewing (not the only one clearly! It's delish!)
*Volcano candles from anthropology (or anywhere u can find them)
*Laundry 
*Wine (I just smell the wine now bc I can't drink it...and it really makes me happy!)

So weird- onions. Raw, cooking, cooked. Anything. I'll make onions with every single meal just to smell them.

Wow that's weird girl... onions were my main aversion first trimester and now a necessary evil in my life.

Night-blooming jasmine on a summer night. We used to have a large one in our backyard and leaving the windows open let the sweetest scent in every night. Sadly it died in our SoCal drought. :-(

Coffee

Fresh cut grass (even though my allergies hate it)

@rae1-3 Same with chlorine-I was a swimmer/lifeguard. I like it since it's so familiar.

Fresh laundry

@lanie1000 that's so sad about your jasmine  

Ditto coffee and the rain smell, especially on creosote in the desert. I miss that! 
Lilac flowers 
Eucalyptus trees in the sunshine 
Boxwood bushes 

Looking forward to the new baby smell! I don't think I've smelled that before. 

notachanski

new baby smell is wonderful too.... who doesn't love the way a baby smells?!?

chamomile-2

I love the smell of woodsmoke in cold fresh air. Autumn in New England is the best!

lanie1000

@rjoys8 me, too! I always hear people talk about the newborn smell, but I have no idea what it smells like. I feel like asking people "can I smell your baby?" would be frowned upon. 

chiquita928

Definitely +1 for the coffee and ocean smells.
Also, campfires.

StacyH0507

coffee, cookies and lilac bushes. We had one in our front yard for most of my childhood and it's such a great fresh smell to me! 

SaphireSweetie88

A lot of the ones mentioned are the same as mine lol

* Fresh cut grass
* Smell of rain (during a thunder storm - smells different that normal rain)
* The way DH's pillow smells in the morning (weird I know - it's not a BO smell but it's comforting)
* Campfires
* Happy by Clinique
