what's that smell?

[danger boy]

Ok.. sorry i didn't know what headline subject to use..

anyHoo, what is your favorite smell? (please keep it clean too) :p

Is there some smell that reminds you of your favorite place and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling inside? your first date/kiss? your mom's cooking? your favorite wine/spirits/alcohol? favorite season? favorite automobile smell???

for me it would have to be my moms cooking.. she could make shoe leather taste good. :) fresh cooked tortillas and Pico de gallo salsa, with a big plate of rice and beans mmm mmm good... but a few others would have to be flannel sheets fresh from the dryer. oooo ahhhh!

dry tamarack wood burning hot in the fireplace, the ocean breeze on a hot summer day. ahhhh, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, and finally Godiva chocolates. :D :D :D

smellfully yours, Al

[gidrah]

Vanilla or skunk bud.

[RuSsMaN]

Sausage cooking and that stuff under my toenails.

[Tour2ma]

napalm in the morning. it smells like...

actually, bread baking... only real reason to own one of those machines.

[spasticpitbull]

fresh cracked open beer in the morning....ahhhh breakfest of champions.

Speaking of........gotta go get me a beer

[goingganzo]

mine would be Grand Marnier on the rocks, clorine aka walking into a pool

[iDoNtKnOe2k1]

TIRES, the smell of a pep boys store!

[F1nut]

A Formula One car screamimg by you at 200 mph, the fuel/tires....ah, absolutely intoxicating. :D

[madmax]

Driving by the local drag strip during burn outs. I always open the window and get a good wiff of tire smoke.

I'll never forget the way my first girlfriends hair smelled... whenever i smell something similar it brings back fond memories... never realy got over her...

[TheMaster]

The aroma of a garlic and onion being sauted together always rumble my stomach.

[Ron-P]

Hops and Barley.


Peace Out~:D

[jbowl]

Krispy Kreme

[Jstas]

There are so many!

I agree with iDoNtKnOe2k1 about the Pep Boys stores. A very distinctive smell for those of us who worked there. One of the best retail jobs I have had.

madmax is on to something with the tire smoke but I'm gonna add to that racing fuel and exhaust and the concession stands. My girlfriend can't figure out why I can be falling asleep standing up but as soon as I smell the track, I'm totally wired! She thinks it stinks. Ah but such is the world of the gearhead! No one ever seems to understand!

I like diesel exhaust and truck stop smells. Reminds me of road trips when I was younger in the Scouts.

I love the smell of my mom's cooking. Makes me think about sitting on the couch on a Sunday watching This Old House with my dad and then Motorweek on PBS.

Pine trees reminds me of my favorite holiday, Christmas.

Pumpkin pie reminds me of Thanksgiving at my grandmother's house.

Fires...there is alot there...many many camping trips, BBQ's and weekends spent in my friend's grandfather's garage tearing cars and trucks apart and putting them back together.

Freshly fallen snow, makes me want to go running for a sled and a Jeep!

Fresh cut spring grass and all I can think is baseballbaseballbaseballbaseball!!!!!

Over-turned fall turf and all I can think is footballfootballfootballfootball!!!

Brass valve oil reminds me of high school band and play orchestra duty. About the only thing I liked from high school.

There is alot more but I'm not going to keep going. I think I posted too much already.

[HBombToo]

Home made spaghetti sauce that has the right mixture of fresh oregano, fennel and garlic that has simmered on the stove for a good 6 hours before serving.

HBomb

[madmax]

Damn you Hbomb,
Now I have to stop and get stuff for meatballs on the way home.

[Polk-a-nizer]

"Love Spell" perfume, that shit is good.
The smell of bacon in the morning.
The smell of bacon in the evening.
Pretty much the smell of bacon ANYTIME.
The scent of a woman, preferrably a fresh virgin.:D ;) :p

[Tour2ma]

starbuck's italian roast... whole bean...

[TroyD]

Nothing beats the smell of burning leaves and crisp cool New England afternoon........

Careful, that may be burnt voice coil you smell.:D

[Jstas]

One more that I can't let slip and am totally surprised no one else mentioned yet.

The smell of new electronics! Especially when you first crack open that box and pull of the plastic bags!

[danger boy]

that's a good one jstas, but to me.. that is more a feast for the eyes.. the first time you lay your eyeballs on that shiney new peice of equipment right out of the box.. Oooooo Ahhhhhh!

P.S. maybe i just like shiney things. :p

[Pablo]

Fresh cut wood (I'm building my entertainment center).

[nadams]

1. My girlfriend's perfume (I'm a sap, okay?)
2. The exhaust from my nitro R/C car
3. Fresh pine boards
4. The smell when the air is very cold, and it's about to snow.
and
5. The smell of electronics getting heated up (IE- when my amp is cranked). Not burning up, just hot.

[paymontana]

Rain drops on roses and bright copper kettles.......(only words I know)


How about just good old fresh clean air. Which apears to more growing more rare as we speak.

CJ

[organ]

The ports of Polk speakers
Electronics
Good weed
Certain brands of cigarettes
The way I smell after a good shower:D

[dcarlson]

Rain drops on roses and bright copper kettles What's that from? It's in the begining of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and I've never heard it anywhere else.

I'll go with Tour on the coffee, everytime I go through the coffee section in the grocery store I take a few extra big sniffs.

Maurice, you pot smoking self sniffer... :p

[organ]

LOL! I love the smell of Irish Spring on my skin;).

Aaah, I knew I forgot something...COFFEE!!!!

They were probably making fun of the musical The Sound of Music.

You know Julie Andrews.

CJ
I hated that movie. My little sister watched it almost every day when we were kids. All 4hrs of it.

Pop Quiz: in what movie did Julie Andrews bare her rather nice set of ... ummm... "lungs" for the camera?

[F1nut]

I don't remember the movie, but I remember the "lungs." :D

S.O.B. (not you tour ;) ...the movie) ;)

[Tour2ma]

ding ding ding ... we have a winner...

FYI... if you've never seen it, do so. Two of the funniest sequences ever filmed. Richard Mulligan (Soap) attempting suicide early in the flic and Wiliam Holden/ Robert Preston/ Robert Webber's body snatching late in the flic are classics... Directed by Blake Edwards, who I believe was Julie's real life hubby at the time...

[steveinaz]

Bacon frying and fresh cut grass, in that order please.

[burdette]

I can't believe this thread is still going...

All right.. my favorite smell is oranges... not orange candy or 'artifical' orange, but freshly peeled, real orange.

I have some other favorite smells... but you said keep it clean.

Actually, I have a bit of a soft-spot for diesel fuel and truck stops. My father was a truck driver when he was young, and when I was growing up he owned tractors and trailers, and hired drivers. But we'd take trips on his vacations. I went with him on several cross-country trips before I was 14.

He'd let me drive... I remember having to pull over a mile before a scale so he could take over. More than a few drivers took double-takes on a 13 year old piloting a Peterbilt cabover pulling a refer full of swinging beef. My dad was so cool. I miss him dearly. Other drivers called me "little beaver" on the CB.. which I didn't understand at the time..hey, I was only 12 or 13. Today, of course, they'd call me montrous bufflalo, or huge moose, or some other such descriptor.

i hope justin uses one of those...
