Favorite scents

[Ennui.]

What are some scents you all really love? I really like the smell of vanilla and then when things are baking in the oven.

I love the smell of brownies.

I have a few:

• Vanilla
• Anything chocolate-y
• Cinnamon
• Coffee
• Anything citrus-y
• Freshly mown grass
• Freshly baked bread
• That cotton fresh/linen scent
• Pine trees (and pine furniture)
• Mint
• The sea
• The air after a good rainfall
• Bonfires
• Barbecues
• New technology (sounds weird, but hear me out, it's like a certain scent that when you are opening a new piece of tech, like a phone or a laptop and I don't know what it is but I like it )

Thanks for this thread, I really enjoyed it!

Edited to add: Sun cream!

Fun fact: I have almost no sense of smell at all (this was the case many years before covid too) so I barely know what anything smells like. Sometimes I get a very brief smell of something before it goes away again, so I know that I like the smell of coffee!

Vanilla is my favorite scent by far. Give me anything vanilla scented and you are on my good side.

I also love the smell of freshly baked apple pie. Strawberries, peaches. Pretty much any fruit.

I'm not surprised I totally love the scent of brewing coffee <3


Other of my favourites are cinnamon, gingerbread (oh my, winter coffee with gingerbread syrup & cinnamon sprinkle on top... nothing beats that!), mulled wine, forest, freshly cut hay in the field, and also the scent of air after rain/storm

I love this question and seeing all your responses!

I've always been a big fan of scents. I have a very keen sense of smell as well, which has been a blessing. It's quite hard for me to pick and choose, but here are some:
- Vanilla
- Honey
- Cinnamon
- Smell of old books
- Lavender
- Citrus
- Coffee (strangely, I find coffee too bitter for consumption but I find its aroma heavenly!)
- Cocoa
- The smell of the ground/soil/air when it rains
- New technology (Celyn's input seconded!)
- Smell of the early morning atmosphere

How could I have forgotten book smell
OR RAIN.

I love the smell of burning wood. That smokey smell it makes is so nice. Granted that burning wood isn't great for the environment, but still!

This is the most enjoyable thread. I love the responses of every individual. It could honestly take a while for me to list because I am obsessed with the scents of this captivating universe.
A few of them include:
· The scent of petrol, it is so hard to take me back home from a petrol pump.
· The burning of chocolate cake in the oven
· The aroma of Indian and Pakistani food mixed in delicious spices
· Anything minty, specially the mint margarita
· The scent of fresh paint. I can stand in a new building forever because of this.
· The alluring scent of mud right after rain. I am not going to lie, it makes me want to eat it.
