USED TO GROWBY MY BACK DOOR AS A KID
WHENB YOU WALKDPAST AND BRUSHED FLOWER
IT FILLED THE HOUSE WITH THE SMELL

I love the smell of a freshly bathed baby too. I also love the Sunday morning smell of a cut lawn and the smell of the fresh air following a downpour after a hot sticky day.

I went to Cockington court in June and I was in the Rose Garden. The smell was heavenly.

Yes I too love the smell of 'fresh sheets'....Also walking into a house and the smell of tonights dinner cooking ( I hate cooking) so for me it has double the delight (coz i havent cooked it) lol.

I love the smell of sheets that have dried on the line as well, and putty..

Sweer Williams....and putty lol, the smell of [utty takes me back to being little and my brother putting a window in the shed :))

and wax crayons

Most of what everyone else has said especially cut grass, fresias and fresh baked bread.... live next door but one to a bakers.... lovely.

Love the smell of hot , newly laid tarmac. Reminds me of when I was young, when the roads used to melt in the summer and the tarmac oozed at the side of the road. When the road had been newly relaid there were always chunks of set tarmac in the gutter, smooth and shiney. (sp?. is there such a word!).

coal fires burning but only get now out in the country...

Jasmine, Sunday dinners cooking, a perfume I used to wear all the time called Je Reviens by Worth, and carbon tetrachloride. My grandma used to have a brown bottle of the stuff in the pantry (yes, the pantry) and she used it to remove grease stains when ironing.

She said that when she felt a bit down, a quick sniff of carbon tet (as she called it) always perked her up! Not surprisingly, it's not sold any more, as its effects aren't particularly pleasant! (you may remember it as the "dry cleaners' smell)
