I'm going to say baby snuggles and campfire, reluctantly. When I saw the fish at the top of the picture I was not expecting it to be such a difficult choice, haha!
Homemade bread, and my second choice I'm not sure... I'd say it's a tie between sunscreen and chlorine.
I think I'm waffling because I can smell all the things really strongly right now. I even turned my Scentsy off at home. The only candle I can tolerate right now is a ginger cakes scented one we got in Colonial Williamsburg. Other than that, I just want to smell clean things, like lemon or bleach.
I used to love the smell of chlorine because it reminds me of summer, but my son made me watch a YouTube video explaining that you only really smell chlorine because of the urine in the pool and that has totally ruined it for me. 🤢
My sense of smell is stronger, but I don't have much nausea so no smells make me sick...yet. I haven't smelled fresh cut grass since getting pregnant so maybe I'd actually hate it now, who knows.
Garden dirt and right before it rains, that's what is normally for me.. I've really wanted to smell both for weeks, but it's February so I guess I'm waiting a long time to smell rain! The smell of books literally makes my skin crawl 😬

Smell twins! Well except for books. If they are old dusty books...skin crawl for sure. But a new never been read from the book store...mmmmm.

Witch City Wicks has a candle called Holy Ground that smells like wet dirt with a touch of sandalwood. It is soooooo authentic, I love it.
For those who like the solitary scents, Demeter is a good brand that sells fragrances that smell exactly like the things you want:
Pre-pregnancy definitely coffee and dark chocolate, preferably together! Last pregnancy I had a serious aversion to coffee that disappeared the morning after I delivered. So far, still tolerating coffee but already less appealing.
@babyodo I love Demeter. It’s been forever since I’ve had anything from them. Last time I looked on their site I was trying to decide between the suntan lotion smell and something else with a similar profile. Not sure why I didn’t go through with it.
Side note- is your name baby yodo like a silly way to say yoda or baby odo like odo from DS9?
LOL It's actually like Baby Odo. It's a play on our last name, which starts with O'Do-. When I was on TTGP, I got asked if my username (ttcbabyodo) was supposed to be ttc baby yoda, which is funny because this was pre-Mandalorian days. When I graduated from TTGP and moved over here, I just removed the ttc part and kept the babyodo part.
@JLaVO888 I love having a smell twin! I agree new books smell completely different but it still gets me 🤢 @babyodo thank you so much!! That candle sounds absolutely amazing, I can't wait till it's delivered lol! Also I thought your name was baby shark related, I didn't even think about the mandalorian haha, that's great! Edit to say I have no idea why I thought of baby shark immediately lol it's not even remotely similar.
I’m with the garden dirt and right before it rains. And I’m also glad I don’t know what Demeter is because they would probably take all my money @babyodo 😂
Oh, this was hard...I think right now it's campfire and homemade bread. It's been a while since I've experienced baby snuggles, but I cannot wait for that smell again.

But my sensitive nosed self today says baby snuggles and fresh towels. Nice and mild.

I haven’t smelled sunscreen since being pregnant so that could possibly change..
For those who like the solitary scents, Demeter is a good brand that sells fragrances that smell exactly like the things you want:
Fresh Cut Grass
Rye Bread
Fresh Brewed Coffee
Linen ETA or maybe Laundromat
Dark Chocolate
Wet Garden
Bonfire or Fireplace
Brownie
Swimming Pool (Chlorine)
New Baby
Apple Pie
Suntan Lotion (Sunscreen)
Paperback Book
Pure Soap (what I imagine they mean by Fresh Towels)
Leather (they also have Saddle and Riding Crop, which sound the same lol)
Thunderstorm (the smell before the rainstorm) and they also have Petrichor (the smell of fresh rain on the ground) and plain old Rain, as well
