    My wife's homemade bread, cotton candy, bacon sizzling in the pan, the air after a major thunderstorm.

    My wife ... just my wife. I also love the smell of her cooking -- she tends to use a lot of wonderful spices.

    Vanilla extract. Pipe tobacco (before burning). Pine forest air on a damp, cool morning. Fresh coffee. Briefs.

    Wait, that last one might belong in a different thread.

    I thought this was going to be a 'favourite fragrances' thread, in which case I'd choose Paul Smith Extreme.

    Just general smells though, I guess fresh coffee, sea air and all that shiz... and I love the smell of burning leaves. Dunno why!

    I don't really know what that smells like, but it makes sense, I guess, because I also like the scent of burning wood, as in bonfires etc.

    When I was young, we had a small, wooden shed in our garden. The wood was impregnated with something that smelled nice, but I don't know what the stuff was. It was some sort of tar or other stuff.

    typo; it should read bread... It also reminds me of a Rammstein song "Wollt Irh das Bett in Flammen sehen" -- Do you want to see the bed in flames. :shake:

    I don't know, fresh baked bed sounds pretty good. :p . It sounds like Silvery knows how to prepare it best.

    I love the smell of freshly mown grass.
    Earth dug up when planting a garden.
    Lavender, the essential oil, worn as a perfume.
    Chopped fresh garlic
    Fields of wild clover
    Gasoline
    Coming rain
    and Lime zest

    Wet dog and dog smells in general. Many a good childhood memory related to various dog smells.

    Ahh... my favorite sense!

    Some have been mentioned: the smell of a storm in the air, coffee, rich black dirt, old books, wood fires, vanilla and leather.

    Others I like: dragon's blood incense, patchouli oil, amber, sandalwood, and wet, rotting leaves (not burning ones, although since I like wood fires I probably like burning leaves -- I just haven't really smelled burning leaves in a very, very long time).
