Laundry that's been dried on a line in the sun;
Smoke from burning apple trees;
Orange blossoms;

How about a new CD, or anything new made out of plastic for that matter.

tee hee. i have the mother of colds anyway, you wouldn't want to approach me with a ten meter pole. maybe with that, just to shove me away and close the door behind me. sniff sniff, head will explode. who cares, it's empty anyways.
<she really does not want to kiss me>
But coming back to the topic in hand, one of my favorite smells is how the earth smells after the first rain (this is specially true in India where we get rains after a long and hard summer)

The High Sierra Desert
Sage brush
Lake Tahoe had a fresh, clean piney scent

And does anyone else love the smell of the inside of Hallmark stores? How do they do that?
Gen, that's a very long list and I would subscribe to most of it. Not the husband part, cos I have a wife instead.
Lorna's list is a good one as well. Love the Italian cooking as well, allied to a bottle or two of Italian wine.
When I was a lot younger, there was a shop near us that sold a huge range of loose pipe tobacco and a huge range of ground coffee. So many different smells all mingling together but every time you went there the smell was slightly different
Lorna, that smell in Hallmark stores comes from the candles displayed there and also a spray bottle!
It is delightful though!
