I like to smell coffee and bacon. The old standby favorites. But I don't drink coffee or eat bacon. Popcorn is a great one. I can't eat it anymore. There's sort of theme growing here isn't there? I guess lilac would be my favorite. It brings with it memories of my mother. She had this thing she would do at bedtime when I was young. She would say, "Lilacs on your pillow." Just a sweet thought, I guess. And when we were away from one another, she would say it. Just a sweet loving thought. I like cinnamon and herb smells too. And the smell you don't smell much anymore of burning leaves. Reminds me of times back when you could still burn them. Do the smells you enjoy remind you of something or you just like the smell?

I love the smell of coffee and bacon too. I think the aroma of chocolate chip cookies though is my favorite.

I like the smell of coffee and popcorn too. Vanilla is a nice one. The smell after it rains.

Old Spice aftershave for men always reminds me of my dad. I love the scent of rain, lilacs, jasmine and other kinds like pine.

I think mostly I just like the smell - the first rains, freshly ploughed earth, walking into a stable.
