Good smells

Idk if I’m addicted to hot peppers but the smell makes me very happy

Geranium, magnolia, the man I’m in love with

Puppy breath. I know some think it’s disgusting but I wish I could capture it. Always brings a smile to my face.

@Charbella my son said puppy breath smelled like “coffee pee” —he hated it

I actually tried a chili that was comically named puppy breath by the competitor that entered it in a chili cook off. I don't know if my breath smelled like a puppy afterwards or not, but it was good.

• Smell of alfalfa after being mowed on a hot summer day
• smell of flowers on a hot breeze
• smell of the forest the morning after a snow
• Chanel #5 - good times with my grandmother before shit hit the fan
• smell of a tobacco pipe and cigars, especially by a campfire
• freshly cut tree trimmings
• potting soil/black earth (this clay / sandy nonsense is horrible)
• The smell right before a really nasty hailstorm /thunderstorm/ tornado (I was told one time it is the smell of the ozone)
• smell of hamburgers on a charcoal grill
• Smell of second hand bookstores
• ‘freshly laundered linen curtains in a breeze
• smell in the morning after a heavy dew, smells… sweeter? than right after a rain, like the air has been kissed with honey
• freshly cut grass
• horses after they have been working
• WD-40 (no idea but I love it)
• pretty much any wood smells: lumber yards, my garage when cutting wood, Birch, Sapele, African Mahogany are my personal favorites
• A lawnmower starting after it has been flooded. Strange but love the weird smell of oil/gas. Don’t like it on cars but mowers… oh yes

ok stopping because I could go on and on

Cat bellies. I once heard it called “cat huffing.”

pencil shavings. And the hot rubber motorized eraser smell. Never smelled a motorized eraser? Never been a draftsman either I'll bet, or at least if you were you were better than me.

Oranges, the smell of the citrus, I love zesting them. In a baked good, yummy . I also enjoy lemons and limes but oranges somehow with their sweet notes are my favorite. Of note, can’t stand eating them, something about the texture and inability to get all the white off is completely unappealing. At Christmas I used to make orange rolls and the experience brought me great joy. However they were my grandpa and dad’s favorite and I couldn’t bring myself to make them this year.

For my fellow baking snobs, especially @Charbella I made this cake today and it is lovely!! Filled my kitchen with delicious aromas. It’s kind of like a blueberry cheese poundcake? I added vanilla to the cheese mixture and lemon zest to the batter. It’s a European recipe so not too sweet. Could make with any fruit really.

Totally the same! That white rindy stuff is awful, but I absolutely make my family keep all the peels then olive oil them up and put them on the stove or even bake them during the winter to make the house smell good.
