To confirm: JoePa's poopy diaper is one of your favorite smells?
This is an odd one that I haven't seen mentioned, but when I am golfing, I generally really enjoy the smell of people smoking cigarettes.
I smoked half of a pack a day for about 10 years, so I was never "hardcore", but I haven't had a puff in almost 12 years now. I miss almost nothing about smoking, but there's something about the smell of a cigarette on the course that does it for me.

A friend makes his own vanilla extract - vanilla beans and good vodka. It makes a huge difference in baking; french toast; ice cream, etc.
How to make vanilla extract
Vanilla extract is an essential ingredient in baking. Without it, recipes seem flat and muted. Even when vanilla isn't the main attraction in baked goods, it helps elevate other flavors. If you want more control over the flavor and quality of this foundational ingredient, you need to know how to...
I would vote "YES!" to a law that allowed anyone within smelling distance, to sucker punch a smoker who lights up in other's presence.
And, I'm not a violent person. That's just how bad it affects me.
I don't really like the smell of cigarette smoke anywhere other than the golf course. And these are obviously friend's I'm playing with so they don't even have to ask, but yeah, smoking in public places or around others without their consent isn't cool.
Walking outside on a brisk October evening. Something about the smell of that autumn air gets me every time. Reminds me of my youth when I was outside practically all the time.
I get real vanilla extract. People don't realize the weird chemicals companies use for "artificial vanilla" flavor.A friend makes his own vanilla extract - vanilla beans and good vodka. It makes a huge difference in baking; french toast; ice cream, etc.

Even “real” vanilla extract pales in comparison to the stuff my friend makes. Maybe good vodka is the difference? I don’t know. Maybe the freshness of the vanilla beans?
My mothers stuffed cabbage.
A cigar on the golf course. I quit smoking 40 years ago on the great American smoke out, but still love that aroma.
Freshly mown yard.
The ocean air in HHI.
Pizza just out of the oven.
Freshly shined shoes. Was a shoe shine nut. Did it ever day when I was still working.
Sunday’s pasta sauce.

I think it is probably the freshness of the vanilla bean moreso than the vodka.
H&S Bakery, which is owned by the Paterakis family. The family has developed much of that area of Baltimore known as Harbor East. Some family fighting, but they've done very well for themselves in the real estate development side of things.
Bought a glass cloche for my husband last Christmas. He loves it.A smoked old fashioned.
Walking into an Italo deli ... I think it might be the Anisette ...
I had number 3 here yesterday. The number 2 today . Not so good ...
I actually found weed back in the day attractive . Today it smells like a dead skunk in the middle of the road ...
Blind taste tests show that people actually prefer imitation vanilla, if you can believe it.
Dead skunk smell? Are you sure there's not an open bottle of Heineken beer around?
It does. It really does. I was following a lady into Giant Eagle at Fox Chapel last week and it was so obvious she was blazing up in her car with some of the nasty skunk weed because it was literally like walking behind a skunk.
My wife's facts. They are glorious especially if they make that little toot sound
