Well, WDH, I like the smell of rattlesnake pretty well.  But, those big old stub-tailed moccassins stink.

That being said, I still like being to smell the both of them.  Well in advance.  Kinda like some humans.

The first time in spring that we get a good rain and then open the windows up to get rid of the collected smells from winter....come on spring!

[Weekend_Sawyer]

I love the smell of woodsmoke especially the pine knots I use as fire starters.

I love the smell of diesel smoke, takes me back to when my Dad used to fire up his dozer whe I was a kid.

I love the smell of my smoker running on hickory, apple or red oak.

I also agree with many of the earler mentioned posts, grass, fresh turned earth, cedar sawdust...

I will not even start to talk food except to say that frying onions makes my heart skip a beat, Mom used to start alot of meals by frying onions.

The musty smell you get down by a river has a calming effect on me, why I could take a nap right now just thinking about it.

Actually my most vivid recollection of a "smell" was in March 1991, I was in senior year of college here in VT, it was cold and snowy and miserable, and some friends and I decided we were going to Puerto Rico for spring break (one of our classmates and friends was from there).  Anyway - stepped out of the airport into the outside air, it was about 11 pm, has just rained and was about 80 degrees.  The smell was like being in the world's biggest greenhouse.  It was unbelievable, and it stuck with me all that week and for months afterward.  I have never been in a greenhouse that smelled that intensely.  And I love the smell of "greenhouse".

We get that greenhouse smell a lot here in FL, right after a big summer thunderstorm. 80 degrees would be a rare cold snap, though. Our summer thunderboomers only cool it down for a few minutes.

When I was a little bitty kid, my Granddaddy would come in the house and jam his old hat onto my head.  Of course, it would fall right down over my face.  I will never forget the scent of that old hat, and OH would I love to smell it again.

[Paul_H]

When I was a kid I liked the smell of gas when we filled up at the gas station.Also liked the smell of old grease on old,long unused logging equipment.

Fresh cut hay,Absorbine Jr,Yellow Cedar.

When we would go away for a week and have our dog with us,he'd start to whine and yip happily when we would come back through the Joffre pass and start to decend into the Pemberton Valley.I guess he could smell "home" in the air.
