Best smells?

[Sprig of Parsley]

Vanilla! It's such a lovely smell i love it. Weirdly enough , i also love the smell of cigarettes despite not being a smoker myself (I guess i just associate it with good things)

I've heard of people liking pipe tobaccos and certain cigars in their own right, but cigs would require a lot of positive association I guess.

Is it just me or does the "last week of school" or whatever have a certain smell?

You too? I used to think that the air of the last week of school smelled different, and I even caught a whiff of it in college. It's distinctive, and somewhat related to the smell of sunscreen, but it isn't.

Something I don't think has been mentioned here yet: Crabapple blossoms.

They're surprisingly fragrant and smell similar to lilac, and if a tree's full of them the scent drifts through the breeze quite easily so the whole yard smells divine.

 

[Homo neanderthalensis]

the smell of money.

Fresh melted cheese on a baked macaroni and cheese casserole.
