your favourite smell in this world..

My boyfriend. I don't know what it is about his smell, but i *absolutely* adore it.

Second to that, my pug Biscuit's smell. It's not a stink, it's his particular smell he has. I love it because it reminds me he is around. Such a familiar smell. I like things that remind me of my comfort zone. And 1 & 2 are both it.
 

Also, of rain when it first starts falling (best with the above).
the smell right before it rains

Apparently this smell is actually caused by bacteria in the dirt that give off that "new rain" smell when they first get wet. Don't ask me for the exact processes by which it happens but I recall hearing it on a reputable science radio program %)
 
^^ That's odd...is it the pips?? It's the pips, isn't it... :D
I'm the same with watermelon (although it is my FAVOURITE FRUIT by far!!) and seeded grapes. I can't handle the pips....

I love the smell of freshly baked goods, whether it's bread or cookies or a cake. YUM!

Also, I love the smell of a freshly cooked steak. Especially the way my boyfriend cooks it with fresh garlic and pepper :)

Can you tell I'm hungry?? =D
 
I love the smell of fresh air in early spring when it first starts to get warm. I like to call it "track smell", since this always reminds me of high school when track season started.

That's awesome, four! Apparently smell is the most powerful memory-inducing sense, even more so than sight or sound.
 
The smell of the ocean. It's so amazing to be able to leave the windows open over night now that it's nice out and waking up to that smell
 
Fresh Sheets after laundry

Right before it rains...just delicate differences from the "after first rain in a long time" smell

Picking blackberries from the wild vines

Jet fuel

Cocaine
 
Holy moly, my nose is fully attached to my girlfriend's hair/neck when I'm rolling. She smokes Camel menthol lights, I normally keep my distance when she does since I don't smoke. When I'm rolling though, that smell combined with her Paris Hilton perfume is pure heavenly bliss.

Other than that:

Chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven, mmm..
The beach,
Thanksgiving Dinner,
Jasmine.
 
Good cigars
Bonfires
Laundry
The ocean
Ed Hardy perfume
Gasoline

I like the smell of a frat house after a big party... sweat, cigerettes, and beer. Makes me think of what a fun night I just had!
