Mine is lilacs, because there was a lilac bush at the bus stop that I used to wait at with my mom when I was a kid, it was my school bus stop and the public bus stop so we spent a lot of time on that corner and now when I smell lilacs I just immediately feel like a kid again.

My wife’s soap.
Every time she comes out of the shower I want to pounce on her. I often grab her while sitting for a hug and plant my face in her tummy. Getting a good whiff.
Oddly enough she uses fragrance free soap so maybe it’s just her natural scent. Haha.
That means you liiiike her
Rosin flux. Soldering is one of the most relaxing activities.
Rain. Or, rather, the sweet earthy smell of wet moss or grass and decomposition and the rest of it that is far beyond any human descriptions and impossible to even approach with words 🥹
Combined with the sound, it’s the most divine state a world can exist in, period.
Petrichor?
Not sure if the smell of autumn’s decomposing has a distinct word though.
Or school petrol stations when we still used leaded fuel right??? Modern petrol ain’t shit by comparison, smell wise that is
My favorite smell is that of a well stocked spice store
Sunscreen and fresh cut grass. Reminds me of carefree days as a kid where everything was possible
coffee because it is the best thing in the world
A mix of lightly burnt motor oil and subway (the sandwich place that isn’t considered bread).
That’s a really nice memory. I also remember how the bushes would smell from when I was a kid in the garden.
Now my favourite smell is my wife, and I bet some of yours will now also be, “this guys wife”.
I also choose this guys wife
I thought this guy’s wife was a bit gamey, I actually prefer the fruity smell yours has,
I choose both your wives
Almond scented pink public bathroom soap
Petrichor
I just Love it.
My dog’s feet. They smell like corn chips.
It’s a combination of Pseudomonas bacteria and yeasts. Obviously totally normal, but I agree. It’s a great smell.
also the warm pupper aroma. the opposite of wet dawg smell, it’s lovely.
A core memory unlock scent for me is any time I smell honeysuckle. We had some where I grew up, and it just instantly takes me back.
Others are a spray from Lush called sleepy time. It’s Lavender and Tonka, and it is the most calming scent I’ve ever been around.
Dark chocolate. Good roasted coffee. Wife’s body spray Tea and Bergamont from bath and bodyworks.My weird ones are lumber and gasoline
When I was little my mom had an electric cookie press that made jet-puffed cookies. Why it was electric, and had to be plugged in, I have no idea. It was almost exclusively used to make Christmas cookies (trees, presents, snowmen, etc.) and the smell of the dough and the finished cookies was so unmistakable and unique that I cannot describe it exactly but can immediately recognize it decades later.
Another smell is the combination of coffee brewing and a classic American breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast being made by my grandparents. The kind of smell that instantly wakes you up and makes you stumble down the stairs half awake. I don’t ever drink coffee but the combined smell is intoxicating and always reminds me of them.
Onions and garlic simmering in olive oil.
Smells like the start of something delicious.
