Brexit in the morning. Smells like…. Victory! (Apocalypse When?). :shades:
Old Espresso bars (they’d nearly all gone by the mid-seventies – to be usurped lately by ersatz Megabucks and Costa-packet sanitised versions…:weep:).
I get the feeling you long for the days of Tony Hancock's Parisian artistic phase? :read: :shades:

When I was a boy there was a sugar cone factory about a half a mile from my house. I will never ever forget the Glorious sweet aroma a baking sugar cones that drifted through our neighborhood quite often. It's funny how an odor can bring you back to another time and place instantly. Whenever I smell a cheap cigar burning I think of my father.

Haven't been able to smell properly since before Christmas when I tested negative for COVID. :unsure:
When my nostrils are working though, I like the smell of curry, sweet peas, Patchouli oil, chocolate, and cheese. (Even though I can no longer eat the stuff).
Sweet peas have a gorgeous smell nora :)
Sweet peas have a gorgeous same nora :)
I always buy some (or grow my own) every year. They remind me of my mum. :)
ylang ylang and lavender ! neroli :-)
probably regret saying this but might give someone a laugh, I actually like the smell of my boyfriends armpits and according to google its a real thing :roflmao:

Certain perfumes do it for me also. Have a spray of Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc when you’re in town. It’s a soft, gentle calming perfume that makes you feel wrapped up in a blanket. No one asks me what I want for birthdays anymore, they just know.
Lily of the Valley…..but dont get me started on THAT!
Washing that’s been line dried after a Fairy wash
Oddly enough I like the smell of tomato plants, even though they have vague notes of eau de cat pee.
Me too with the tomato plant darksky and yes, I know what you mean, lol.
What's up with the Lily of Valley?
Next year darksky, next year. :winks:
Not many because I have partial anosmia. And the few things I can smell are the disgusting ones.
Well tomato plants are pretty disgusting cat pee wise. Can’t you smell them?
The other day I picked up a bottle of birch beer. I haven’t had it in years. It’s got such a distinct smell it instantly brought me back to the pizza place where I grew up where you could get birch beer in the soda fountain with wonderful crushed ice. It was such a nostalgic smell!
Ah yes nostalgic smells are the best Erin. There’s a certain brand of soap that reminds me of my grandmother. I don’t know which it is but it wouldn’t be a fancy one… she was very basic and she always smelled of this soap. Now and again I get whiffs of it so it must be around still.
Also the smell of boiled potatoes remind me of my aunt who’s house always smelled of cooking, particularly potatoes. Long before the days of extractor hoods.
