Do you smell that?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963) 4 years ago

There are basically two types of smells: those you love and those you hate. So what do you love to smell? And besides the obvious foul odors, what smells do you hate?

For me, I've been on a banana high (hence the picture). I absolutely LOVE the smell! They are so delicious too, but smelling them is enough for me!

As for hate, I HATE the smell of coffee! Absolutely cannot stand it. And it sucks that it seems like everyone drinks it, so it's a difficult smell to avoid.

So what about you??? Name as many or as few smells as you love and hate! Thanks!

For me, the smell of babies is always the best. I love kissing babies. Now, i really hate the smell of air fresheners especially those that are being used in cars and buses. They really make me feel nauseated.


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

Aww, yes! I haven't been around a baby lately but I know what you mean.

I don't mind all air fresheners (and don't use any in the car) but some I agree smell horrible. Processed smells are rarely good, especially when they just add to the odors rather than cover and/or eliminate them.

Thanks for the reply!

I love the smell of the air just after it rains, the smell of burning leaves, (though I'm often told I'm wierd for that one, lol), lilacs and fresh baked bread.
I can not stand the smell of cooked spinache, strong incense,(it gives me a headache), and pot.


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

Yes!! I love the after-rain smell. Also, a freshly mowed grass smells really good... Hm, the burning leaves one is interesting. Any specific kind of leaves?

Lilacs, as I mentioned in another reply, I love those too.

Bread - any kind of bakery item smells delicious.

I don't care for spinach or pot either. (I'll add cigarettes to the list too)

Thanks for the reply!

I love the smell of Nivea products
I hate the smell of coffee too! and Beer, cant stand it!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

I have some Nivea hand cream ("smooth indulgence") that I absolutely love! I agree, it smells pretty good, and works beautifully.

I completely agree about beer. I cannot stand the smell of any alcohol but beer is the worse.

Thanks for the reply!

I love citrus and ocean smell. I love fresh rose and most flowers smell. I hate corn flour smell, it makes me sick.


citrus

myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

I LOVE the smell of oranges! Delightful! I rarely go to the beach but actually prefer the sound to the smell of the beach.

Flowers don't really impress me. We have a lilac bush outside that smells really good, but other than that, I don't really care for flowers.

Corn flour? Can't say I've ever smelled that before.

Thanks for the reply!

myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

I just recently stayed at a hotel that had citrus shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer, and WOW they smell good!

I just looked at the moisturizer, it says "Sicilian Red Orange Extracts."

I absolutely love the smell of freshly cut sweet grass. It reminds me of better times. There's also the smell of vanilla candles, chocolate chip cookies baking, drakkar noir cologne on my husband's neck... happy days

I detest smelling cigarettes. They make me upset because of all the years I devoted to that nasty habit. I don't like smelling that gasoline smell when it rains (it's very sour), an open bag of Cheez Doodles (don't know what i'm talking about? next time you're near a bag, take a whiff.. you'll agree with me lol), McDonald's (their food doesn't smell like food to me!).


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

I love the smell of freshly cut grass! I live in NY so that lovely smell is a nice reminder that winter (and snow!) is gone... at least for now!

I also love the smell of vanilla. Cinnamon is also really delicious (to smell and eat).

I prefer the smell of the man to the smell of his cologne but since I've never smelled drakkar noir cologne, I won't diss it!

I can unfortunately smell cigarettes very well. So if anyone smokes or did smoke in an area, I can smell it. It sickens me. I applaud anyone who quits, and it saddens me to see people continually pick up the addition. I don't see the appeal of it, so why even start?!

Hmm, gasoline when it rains? What about gasoline on a dry day? lol The smell certainly isn't appealing but I don't find it offensive either.

I don't eat chips, but I think I have an idea of why you don't care for Cheez Doodles. Artificial cheeses smell odd.

I agree about McDonalds. Burger King doesn't impress me either. I just don't care for fast food at all.

Thanks for the reply!

I hate the smell or raw fish. And i hate the smell of cooking or cooked bananas..it just isnt right. My mom always said she can tell i like a guy a lot when I'm willing to make him banana bread. I hate the smell so much i cant even eat it.

I like the smell of pine trees but i'm allergic to them so sniffing them makes me all stuffed up and grumpy.

I love the smell of popcorn, mint, vanilla, bakeries, clean babies, fresh laundry...earl grey or vanilla tea...

Thats all i can think of off thetop of my head


myLot reputation of 99/100. saundyl (4725)   ranked 1,540 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  4 years ago

I also love the smell of fresh cut grass or...in the summer when the farmers are haying I love the smell of fresh cut hay/alfalfa...

Oddly...I hug my dad or my boyfriend and they usually have a desiel or oil smell to them from working on machinery and I find that smell comforting...safe.


myLot reputation of 96/100. metschica25 (4787)   ranked 3,491 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Forgot about fish or tuna . I do eat it ,but dont like the smell . The smell will stay in the house too long and its hard to get out .


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

I do not disagree with you about raw fish! I don't know why anyone would enjoy that smell.

However, for bananas I gotta disagree. I just love the smell of them. And I also love banana bread, the smell and the taste. That's sweet that you would be willing to bake banana bread for someone even if you hate it that much!

Pine trees smell great, that sucks that you are allergic! :( Do you not use a real tree for the holidays then? (Or maybe you don't celebrate, I'm not trying to assume anything)?

I feel the same way about the others you mention, at least from popcorn to fresh laundry. I don't care for tea though.

Thanks for the response!



myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

Oops, I forgot to respond to the other comments here.

Freshly cut grass is great! I should be smelling that tomorrow or the next day, I gotta get out there and mow soon.

Aw, that's sweet that machinery oil makes you feel safe because of who it reminds you of.

metschica25 - I eat fish too, but I HATE the smell. Tuna isn't as bad as haddock or salmon, I've found.


myLot reputation of 99/100. saundyl (4725)   ranked 1,540 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Christmas trees - we used to have real ones until my parents found out what was making me such a witch at christmas time. They found that out after i had to sleep in the same room as the tree and had itchy eyes runny nose etc from it the next day. Ever since then we dont have a real tree. I miss the going out to get it and all that from our pasture but we all enjoy christmas much much more without me being a big old grump pot ready to bite off anyones head who so much as breathes in my direction!


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

Aw, that really sucks that you're allergic to them! I cannot even remember when my family last had a fake tree. Pre-teens, I imagine.

At least this change has improved your living conditions! I don't imagine those symptoms made the holiday joyful?!


myLot reputation of 99/100. saundyl (4725)   ranked 1,540 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  4 years ago

I'm told i was quite the grinch with real trees around.


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  3 years ago

Understandable. I doubt it's a pleasant thing to experience!

I've named the smells I love best on another related topic, so here will just name my favourite of all, and it is freshly baked bread.

As for my most hated smells, disregarding the obvious ones we all hate, I think mine are oranges...I just can't stand the smell of them....Armani after-shave, and old newspapers.


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

Do you bake your own bread? I rarely bake bread myself, and the only kind I do make is banana bread. But I love smelling those baking at grocery stores!

Oranges? Really? That has to be another one of my favorites... I don't care for after-shave either, and I don't care for the smell of old OR new newspapers!

Thanks for the reply!

I love the smell of rain
the smell of the beach
the smell of flowers
the smell of cucumber and aloe
The smell of cocoa butter
the smell of lilic bushes
the smell of summer
the smell of coconut
and I am sure there are many
I cant stand the smell of dog or cat pee
I hate the smell of my fiance's uncle , he has the fear of water . just trust me the smell is bad
And I am sure I hate all the other sick smells out there .

Hey , if you like the smell of banana you should try the perfume or lotion avnon has for them . I think the line is by naturals and it is called banana milk and coconut.


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

That's quite the love list! I feel the same way about every one. Although I agree with the last one, coconut, I only like the smell, not the taste.

I do not like the smell of a wet dog, but dogs in general don't bother me... Pee from anyone is a disgusting smell, ha.

Fear of water? Does that mean he does not bathe? Ick.

Thanks for the suggestion! Right now I'm enjoying a citrus-based lotion. It's great! Luckily I stocked up (I got them from a hotel I stayed out) so I have about four of them, hehe.

Thanks for the response!

I love the smell of my daughters hair after it has been newly washed. I hate the smell of any kind of fish. Raw or cooked. Yuck.


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

Aw, that's sweet. Yes, hair does tend to smell pretty nice after just being washed, but I imagine there's more to it than just that for you :)

Agreed. I don't like the smell, but I do enjoy the taste of (some) fish.

Thanks for the response!

I love the smell of my girlfriend, the smell of delicious food, oranges, butter being melted and and garlic being sauteed. I really don't want the smell of a new car and of a newly painted wall. It gives me a headache.


myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  4 years ago

Aw, that's sweet - and something you can't replicate. I'm sure your girlfriend appreciates that!

I love oranges! I don't like butter or garlic, but lots of people seem to enjoy them. And garlic is actually good for you.

I never got why some people love the smell of a new car. And paint isn't appealing either.

Thanks for the reply!

myLot reputation of 97/100. goodnightmoon (1963)  3 years ago

Most people seem to. I don't get it though, it makes me nauseous.
