What is the smell that you love over all other smells? Do you associate a certain place or thing with a particular smell? How does it make you feel? Is it a 'good' smell or a 'bad' one? For me, the smell of 'fresh' leather is always pleasing. Just getting into a luxury car or sitting and stretching out on a coach; breathing in that luxurious scent of leather makes me feel nice all over. Some other smells I like include coffee, sizzling sausages and fish and chips. Also, the smell of dew on a cold winters day sort of brings a breath of fresh air into your morning. So, what are your favourite scents? Looking forward to your opnions on this subject.

My top favorite scents are the ff: 1. Mangoes. I love the smell or ripe, juicy, yellow mangoes. 2. Mistine White Spa products. They really are delicious to the skin. 3. Chocolate. It's a yummy, seductive aroma that invigorates me.

OK. If I want to buy a good mango, what color is it supposed to be? Yellow?

I like the smell of fresh red roses. I like the smell of onion when it gets brown & i like the smell of petrol too. I like all these smells & when my Mom cooks, i usually keep on walking around the kitchen in order to feel smell of onion. Similarly, i bring red roses & keep on smelling them & whenever i go to petrol pump with faimly for filling petrol. I breath deeply & feel happy & smell the petrol smell.

I wasn't going to mention the smell of gas (petrol) but you did, so I can agree! And I love the smell of frying onions, perhaps put in to give flavor to pork chops...Yummy!

my favorite scent is that of joop's cologne. it's the cologne my boyfriend uses. we're in a long distance relationship. one day, he sent me a package with his shirt in it splashed with joop's cologne. up to now, i did not wash the shirt he sent me a year ago. the scent is still there. and everytime i miss him, i hug hig shirt and makes me feel better. i also love the smell of fresh air just like you. the smell of fried garlic and onions and the smell of the bed linens which were newly washed.

My Favorite smell is Warm Apple Pie. But the smell of fresh cut grass is in second. And my third all time favorite smell is the smell of a cold Pepsi when you open it. Those are my top 3 favorite smells.

I love the smell of brewing coffee and when they open the drive thru window at starbucks,...that is the most refreshing smell ever. I love it! I also love the smell of a clean baby right out the tub, they always smell so fresh and clean. I also love the smell of Cool Water for men.

I really enjoy the smell of coffee. I mean the actually coffee,not necessessarily as it brews. I also enjoy freshly mown grass and pine trees. Isn't is amazing how a smell can take us back to a particular moment in time or remind us of someone or someplace?! I love scent.

I have a couple of smeels that I really like. I'm a very deep sleeper and the only thing that can really bring me out of it is the smell of frying bacon. My favorite smell though would have to be the just after it starts to rain, it really reminds me of home (Scotland).

Oh, I like the smell of leather too. But I think the most wonderful smell for me is the smell of oncoming rain. There's something about it that, I don't know, I think it reminds me of my childhood. I really love it. It's so soothing and relaxing. And I love the smell of my boyfriend when he's not wearing any cologne. He doesn't have any BO, thank God. I just love it, there's something very comforting about his musky scent.

The smell that emerges out when rain is falling on a hot surface, it gives a refreshment to all of us and brings in a new kind of excitement within ourselves.

I'm into aromatherapy and absolutely love lavender when I'm feeling stressed out. It's calming...
