What smell do you love?
:cool2:
JP4-JP8 jet fuel, especially at night just before an OP.

A 2 stroke motor running on a cold morning.
A little 110 only makes it better.
Coffee, white gas from my MSR stove, Pikes Place Market, Mac and Jack African Amber, diesel, old books, gun cleaning oil, wooden duck calls, my 4 wheeler warming up, my wife's perfume, old football lockerroom, pine trees, oil and grease, and campfires.
Mesquite wood in the smoker, Roses, Lilacs, gunpowder, and line dried sheets!
Diesel :haha:
While I know that responses to certain odors are based on past experiences with the scent - smell is a powerful memory trigger, there are still many that are simply nice such as the scent of a man I love, a baby, the fresh air that comes through my window while I am sleeping, rain, the ocean, the woods, a rose, cut grass, clean sheets, Christmas, a natural wood box, a quality old book, coffee, fresh fruit, bread baking, beer, wine, chocolate cooking, tropical fruit, vanilla, and a campfire.
The air is so clean here, but my son, who lives next door likes to dutch oven cook outside. It smells good.

"Napalm in the morning......" :cool2:
Ok - actually, wood/campfire smoke when you're up in the canyons during the summer, freshly bathed babies, wildflowers and blooming sage, Bamboo fragrance (Salt City candles), Sundance after it rains and expensive cologne on a fine-looking man :naughty:
I also love the smell of Hoppe's #9

Yes, I might be a redneck...
I'll add a few more:
Winter's first fire at home, the smell of my woman, fresh out of the shower. The smell of my truck (diesel) idling in the garage, the smell of a hot summer rain and the smell of a flash flood in August in Casto Canyon..
There are quite a few smells I love, but what is interesting about discovering this thread today is that today is the day I realized that I much prefer the smell of my wife's peach scented deodorant. It smells awesome!

fresh box of crayola crayons, play-doh, campfire, coffee, my ski jacket after a day in the powder, newborn baby, my grandmothers laundry room, my dad's old canvas army tent, phenylethyl alcohol agar plates, riding my mountain bike through the pine trees, my uncle's potato cellar in Idaho,and fresh cut grass
Is any beside me old enough to remember when 2-strokes pre-mixed with bean oil made from caster beans? That was a unique smell you will never forget. Great protection, great smell, nasty carbon build up.Quote:

I remember. Lately, though - I've ridden with a few 2 stroke bikes that had added flavorings to their fuel, such that the exhaust has a hint of blueberry and other aromas. Quite odd, but better than straight 2 stroke exhaust stink, I suppose.Quote:

Bar tack for a chainsaw. Sweet.
Freshly drilled limestone that has a bit of sea salt to it.
The smell of my hands after crack climbing at City of Rocks or Castle Rocks in Idaho. Must be lichen or some such. Very distinctive, kinda earthy dead plant type smell.
Bacon and eggs in a fryin' pan.
Sweet clover.
GSR.
Me too. :2thumbs: - child play toys, perhaps it's the memories.Quote:

I love the smell of fuse strikers on avalanche control mornings, new rope, dr bronner's peppermint soap, my tent, my chalk bag, the snake river in September, my 4runner, chainsaws, the smell of a wood shop, smoking meat, my girlfriend after she's all prettied up, my guitar case, clean laundry, ionized air after a lightning strike (yikes), single track paved with leaves, puppies, and the Windrivers.

Sagebrush in the rain, and Sand Verbena laced spring desert air, blow by from a 289 Cid along with old vinyl seats, and bacon.

I also love the smell of:
Campfire smoke
BBQ
Pipe tobacco / smoke
Ocean air
Fresh cut grass
Fresh ground coffee beans
Pine trees in the mountains
My kids after a bath
My wife's pina-colada scented body lotion :naughty:
There's nothing like it. I like the nights you can open those windows and let the orange blossom permeate the house. Okay, I need a bloom now :lol8:
Same with strawberry fields! My extended family farmed and grew acres upon acres of strawberries in SoCal, too. Loved to drive through those areas with the windows rolled down. Another intoxicating scent!
A few of mine:
hot asphalt
fresh cut alfalfa
hot apple pie
fresh cut lumber
pinion pine campfire
tire smoke and nitro at NHRA race
wet concrete
My #1 favorite: Peaches. :naughty:
the smell of plasticizer on a cold morning, steam rising off the mud, the steady shuusshhhh of the pump line with a Schwing metronome in the background.
yeah... that's the ticket...
Ditto. Reminds me of my childhood, riding my dirt bike in the desert. :ride:Quote:

Hoppies No. 9 - yeah, I get that
Burned gun powder - I don't shoot much anymore, but I still like it
Chain lube - for my bike(s)
Everything in the mountains except for those really pungent alpine meadow plants that come out in early summer - bleh!
Quality leather
The inside of my tent
Fresh cut hay after a summer storm
Cottonwood trees along a streambank
The lumber department at the Depot
No one mentions the resin smell of a freshly opened mint in box action figure? I am seriously disappoint.
That there is some reeree good Engrish. :lol8:Quote:

Gasoline! :ride:
Yep - here too! Azaleas, dogwoods - just beautiful! High today in the lower 70s! One of the good things about living in the South....:2thumbs:Quote:
