Your favorite smells

[cjk374]

Name the smells that just blow your skirt up....   

Mine is a Christmas tree in the livingroom first thing in the morning; fresh new creosote crossties just before or just after installation; southern yellow pine in the form of fresh plywood, wood chips, or fresh cut logs; anything cooked in a crockpot; I'll name others as I think of them.

Vanilla, cigars, vanilla cigars, kretek (clove cigs), pipe tobacco, gasoline, new car smell, cinnamon, olive oil, freshly cut grass.

It can be considered the smell of relief!

One more vote for fresh creosote in railroad ties!

Also.....
Sawdust
Tobacco shop
Rain storms
Onion and garlic cooking in butter

Skunk, asphalt, gasoline:  I like them, but I don't love them.

One more vote for fresh creosote in railroad ties!

do they still use creosote?  I thought the EPA banned it a few decades ago.

[kphoger]

Well, whatever.  It smells good nonetheless.

[Alex]

The smell emitted from plants when it starts raining after a long period of dry weather.

The smell of a brand new map when first opened.

The smell of warm humid air after a warm front moves through during the winter.

[triplemultiplex]

Bog swamp (the sphagnum moss, I think)
ozone (that 'after a lightning storm' smell)
grilling meats
fresh cut pine
burning balsam
Lake Michigan
yeast
mildew growing on canvas
autumn leaves

[AsphaltPlanet]

The smell of a brand new map when first opened.

New map smell is a quality smell.  I'd rate new electronic smell highly as well.

They use something that burns like creosote when it comes in contact with your skin (1st hand experience), & it smells like it also.  Maybe the EPA had the formula changed?
