1. di-ethyl ether

[Strong Atheist]

54. Don't remember it, it is has been 20 years since organic

chem ...

looked it up, sounds good-smelling.

http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/~hmc/hsci/chemicals/diethyl_ether.html

[KitchenWitch]

71. Yes, and if you smell it long enough you get a good buzz

but the hangover is a killer...but I do like that smell for some reason.

[Strong Atheist]

72. Good to see you talking to me after ....

well, I can not always tell if people are serious... maybe a bit aspbergers...:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

83. Oh, If I were not talking to you, you would know it!

I have difficulty containing annoyance....It was all in great fun!

:hi:

[Strong Atheist]

85. Thanks! I thought so at first, but then... well, lets just say I am not

always the most secure person in the world.:pals: :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

87. You are good with me!

:hi:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

2. Flowers.

[flamingyouth]

[Divameow77]

8. Lemon Fresh Lysol

for some reason, oh and all the things in post #4

[Squatch]

9. Freshly ground coffee.

before brewing, something about ground beans is wonderful.

[Ron Mexico]

18. Even the mediocre canned crap that's already ground

smells absolutely great. A lot of those coffees like Maxwell House and Folgers suck, but before scooping it out of the can it smells fantastic.

[Strong Atheist]

46. Coffee. One of the few things that smells MUCH better than it tastes. nt.

[Theres-a]

14. Kitty fur.

I just have to bury my nose in any kitty I can get my hands on.

Oooh, and citrus. I'm eating a tangerine right now. Ironically, there's nothing my cats hate more than the scent of citrus.

[Arugula Latte]

15. Wait a minute ...

I just realized there's a naughty connoctation to the first part of that post ... Oh, crap ... What have I done? :blush:

[Z_I_Peevey]

16. babies' heads

[Tikki]

17. Deep dark Black Cherry anything..........n/t

[Heidi]

19. Oooooooooooooooooo, here we go (and thank you) . . .

Oil paints (one can discern the pigment vs. filler load by smelling, really!), solvents (some smell good but can kill you over the long-term, and some stink but are less toxic), Silly Putty, handmade paper, the top of our kitty's neck, the side of Call Me Wesley's neck (*faint* and he doesn't shave or wear cologne), my mother's hair when I hug her, hardware stores (*swoon*), essential oils, the air during and after a thunderstorm, books (old AND new), our herb garden at the end of August . . .

Thank you, Strong Atheist

[GoddessOfGuinness]

That's another one I can't resist smelling OR touching. I have to pinch all the lavender and thyme and get the oils on my hands...

[LaraMN]

26. The abridged version:

Books

[reyd reid reed]

37. Books top the list

Then there's fresh-cut grass, cinnamon, laundry that's just off the line, rain, woodsmoke, the top of a baby's head, oh and leather.

Give me a leather-bound book and I'll practically, well, let's not go there.

:blush:

[Strong Atheist]

[GoddessOfGuinness]

44. Candles, soaps, and potpourri

Whenever I'm in one of those cutesy "country" stores, I have to smell them all.

When I'm in the grocery store, however, I can't STAND the aisle with all the air fresheners, candles and laundry detergents. It makes me sneeze. :shrug:

[Strong Atheist]

58. Sounds good. I smell the candles, soaps and potpourri too. nt.

[suzbaby]

52. My husband

He has that intoxicating smell of shampoo, a clean shirt, and that un-nameable essence de 'aePrime'

It might sound gross, but a shirt that he's worn for a day can smell great too...it just smells like him.

And now he's going to die of embarrassment. :hide:

[SoCalDem]

68. Ahh, the allure of pheremones..

There's nothing silly about it.. People who have lost a loved one, often keep their clothing, pillows, etc BECAUSE they can still smell them on it..

Humans have lost most of our sense of smell over time, but there's still enough left to connect subconsciously with that part of it:)..We just don;t realize we are usinig it :)

[VeganThur]

55. Gasoline

When I pump my gas I cant help but take in a big whif of the gas smell. I occasionally get light headed but not normally. There is just something about it...

pine needles in a pillow (yes, I'm into pine tree smells), lotions and suntan oils that smell like coconut and pineapple, turkey roasting on Thanksgiving day, Constant Comment tea, raked maple leaves burning (but only from a long ago memory), the smell of an old fashioned five and dime store, pizza.

76. OH, I love the way Constant Comment smells!!

[Crazy Dave]
