Well, what scent, aftershave, odor gets you all tingly and sends you into a daze and turns your legs to a withering jelly.
I like natural smells, such as flowers, breweries, farmyards. My favorite smell is that of a dog after he's been walkies in the rain. That pungent earthy smell they have. It's even better when they'e had a great adventure in the fields and rolled joyfully in a heap of cow's muck. Knocks the crap out of Eau De Posh Birds Perfume De Paris.
Hey, John, blow some my way. Still love the smell of blue smoke from a Winston.
I love to smell tiny newborn puppies.
So warm...so natural.

Uh oh, I always use that stuff. I thought it was a cheap cologne that would help keep the teeming wimmin folk at bay.
To me, there is no better smell than the baking (anywhere, anytime) of cinnamon rolls. The scent is always better -- and much less caloric -- than the finished product.

1. Fabrege Woodhue perfume worn only on my mother. It just doesn't smell the same on anyone else. It is one of my favorite scents from childhood. We always knew something special was going on if she was wearing that scent. Unfortunately, it isn't as available these days and mom's taste in scents has changed so I don't get to indulge in those memories very often. I've purchased some of my own now and then but it just doesn't smell the same. I wonder if it is the scent or the memories that makes it smell so good.
2. Lightly scented roses in the early morning.
3. Trees of all kinds; eucalyptus, pine, redwood, cedar specifically.
4. Sweet alyssum
