I love a good cheese fondue, or maybe just good home cookin' in general.

Used to like the smell of rain but I worked bringing in shopping carts years ago and can't stand the asphalt stench any longer.

The best smell of all is when you grow accustomed to somebody you love but they're gone for a bit & their ghost hangs around in your pillows.

Rain is pretty comfy
decent pussy
well maintained hair

[Slappy McGherkin]

Does this rag smell like chloroform to you? No? Sniff it a little deeper. You sure?


Orange blossoms in the backyard
Wet dog
Chopped cilantro

On Edit: I forgot one of my favorites - the smell of freshly printed money, a stack of brand new dollar bills. It's euphoric.

 

[pomme]

Freshly cut grass
Downpour on a warm day
Silage
The mix of petrol and wood shavings in work sheds
Fresh paint
The stairwells of empty council buildings
Dust of building sites

Very nostalgic.

Not even parsley?

 

[Sprig of Parsley]

Not even parsley?

Fresh parsley has a pleasant crush scent but it's actually not in my favorites. Strange, I know. I mean, I like it but I like a LOT of things you find in a well stocked kitchen. If we're talking things I like as opposed to my favorites of all we're talking a really long list.
