Coffee and vanilla.
There are literally no flaws with either of those smells
Freshly baked bread.
Smelling freshly baked bread is the “seeing a water bottle cold enough to be sweating on a hot day while thirsty” of being hungry
Oh yes that is literally always good
- The smell in the air after a rain on a warm spring day.
- The smell in the air of wood smoke on a freaking cold winter day.
That first one is called petrichor
sweaty partner
Stinky dogs.
They smell like friendship
Bromine. It’s what they treat the water with on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, and the smell puts my mind on vacation
My grandmother’s closet - old wood, old clothes, and mothballs
I got a brief flash of a Ren and Stimpy close-up of a nostril sucking in mothballs, from reading this comment.
But jokes aside, I can imagine that smell becoming a core memory down the road and will hit with instant nostalgia whenever you smell something similar.
I remember the smell of my Grandmother’s house every time I hear the song Teardrop by Massive Attack. I’m 9 years old, and I’m watching MTV, sitting on the living room carpet.
Diesel fuel is a pretty awesome smell 🔥
diesel exhaust
Coffee
Pine and fir needles.
Chlorine and florine
Baking bread. The smell right after a summer shower. Books. Diesel exhaust on a cold day. Don’t ask on that last one, it’s weird I know, but I love it.
I love the smell of grains being unloaded from a truck into a silo.
Creosote on a hot summer day.
Reminds me of the amusement park when I was little. There were a lot of railroad ties used as retaining walls there.The air on a crisp Halloween dusk back in 1988.
