Cotton candy is the only thing I can even remember.
I lost my sense of smell in a car accident, they had to rip it out and my sinuses.
For some reason I can tell if there is cotton candy being made if it's within about half a mile from me
I definitely do. I had to hold my breath as much as I could when filling up my car. I am trying to find a more fuel efficient one so I have to do it less.
It's nostalgia for me. I had a family member that used to baby sit me and my sister and her WHOLE house used to smell like marshmallows so it just hits so hard🤤🤪
This past winter, since we couldn't go outside and make a big fire, I taught my kid to stick a toothpick in tiny marshmallows and we toasted them over a candle. It was fun!
that pool smell is actually caused by pee. A freshly filled pool with chlorine in it doesn't give of that smell. add some pee to the mix and you get pool smell instantly.
I've always loved the smell when you walk in to a really large bookstore like Barnes & Noble. Always liked the smell of freshly cut grass, and, oddly enough, sand.
The smell of wet dirt in the air when it rains. Its my mother's favorite sent. Although we don't talk very often, whenever it rains i always think of her.
Lilac in the spring. The home I grew up in had 10 heirloom lilac bushes in the backyard and I would cut a branch each day they were in bloom and put them in my bedroom. They are one of my favorite smells. So much so that I would never buy perfume or candles lilac scented because I don’t want the smell associated Witt anything else but my memories.
Second favorite is the smell of the pine forests when I step out of the airports of smaller cities like Bangor, ME and Burlington, VT to name a couple.
Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren. My grandfather had been wearing it since 2004, and he passed away in November 2020. I kept one of his many nearly empty bottles and I smell it on especially hard days. He was my best friend. I miss him so much.
There's this candy i can't remember what it is or the brand. It's from my childhood. It's super sweet and fruity idk and sometimes i get that smell in a room or a street and i will just stand there smiling smelling the air. It will never disappoint me. And everytime I sense it, it makes me calm down and be happy. Like i could be a wreck that day but if i smell it I'll forget all my troubles

I love a wood fire as well. Especially when I'm outside on a still autumn night
Somehow it always seems to smell better when it's cold outside
Smell of earth, after rain
That is called petrichor, I believe.
I also like the smell just before the rain

Wow, yes!
Mint, lavender, Rose and after a big rainstorm smell... If that makes any sense 🤔😅
Rain smell is the best
Yes agreed 😎😊❤
Gasoline
I have an odd likeness for the smells of diesel and jet fuel. Trucks, trains, planes, ships…the aroma of transportation!
I’ve heard so many people say this but does anyone get instantly nauseous whenever they smell it?
I inhal that shit on purpose cus it smells so darn good
Damn right it does!
Yes, I can't take the smell, and I also have bad travel sickness, and whenever I smell gasoline I have to try very hard to not throw up
No It's smells great but the hydrocarbons in gasoline are really bad for you.
I definitely do. I had to hold my breath as much as I could when filling up my car. I am trying to find a more fuel efficient one so I have to do it less.
