OT: What is Your Favorite Smell?
- Thread starter 9nationalchampionships
- Start date
What exactly did you smell that motivated you to begin the thread? Must’ve been coffee on a Sunday morning.
Mine are:
1. Coffee brewing
2. Cinnamon buns/bread baking
3. Fresh gauze bandages being unrolled to hold an ice bag on an injured knee that may cause a junior Wr at USC to miss the rest of the year.
I figured I’d be exact with descriptions.

I think it’s ironic that people think coffee brewing smells good. It triggers me to have a bad cough. It’s so bad that I‘ve seen a pulmonologist to try to stop it. With no luck. I can’t even sit next to someone drinking coffee without coughing.
The strange thing is coffee grinding smells okay to me.

New car smell, esp if it’s my new car
Perfume on a blouse that’s being slowly unbuttoned.
I was wondering if this would go off the rails, so far it hasn't.

I'm with you. When I was a kid my dad drank coffee all the time. And I loved the smell of the fresh grounds. And then he'd brew it, and I'd think damn, how did that smell replace that good one from just a minute or two ago?

Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. The Doubletree Hotels usually offer ‘em for free in their lobby, and the smell of those freshly baked cookies - often served warm - is a great marketing strategy.

Those fruity shampoos women use.

Smoking BBQ gets me every time. Not my favorite, but at least top 5. We have a BBQ place here in Knoxville that uses an old smoker out front just to burn wood to get you sucked in.
Is not better smell then a fresh shoe shine but I also like the smell of lice shampoo and catnip.
On the flipside.......when I watch those documentaries/movies about say the Vietnam War or WWII, especially on the Pacific Islands, all of that death, in constant 90 degree humid heat, I just can't imagine the stench.
Also, when I see movies from say the early 1900's, and all of that wool clothing people war, the 3 piece suits and lack of showers and baths in say mid July. I can't imagine people smelled too good and cities with sewage must have been horrendous. Like one giant port a potty.

I thought your favorite smell was from a freshly opened bottle of viagra. Something about the twisting of the top and removing of the cotton ball, once it hits your nose it’s just so good.
There is an old toast that comes to mind...
Here's to gunpowder and p***y. We live by one and die by the other but we love the smell of both.

I'm guessing you mean the one near Fells Point, I use to smell it when my daughter lived there. My brother lives near Annapolis, and was friends with the phys ed teacher at the school where he taught whose family owned it. I don't know the name, but I remember the family was Greek.
I agree with the couple posters who mentioned vanilla. I was always indifferent to vanilla ice cream, so I didn't learn until later in life how wonderful fresh vanilla smells and tastes.
