Bacon. When was the last time you woke up to the wonderful smell of sizzling bacon in the pan? Beats those sad and soggy cereal flakes they now call a healthy and nutritious breakfast...

Last night when I came home, the house smelled of bacon. Babe was cooking dinner, it was a nice smell to be greeted by. :P
 
I like the smell of new born babies.

What does a new born baby smell like and how often do you smell them? :unsure:
I don't smell babies that often, but I don't go around smelling babies like they are flowers. I can smell babies when I pick them up to hold them and the smell in kind of like baby powder , but it's just a little different.
 
Love:

Blown out candles
Strong incense
Freshly cut grass
Woodwick candles
Lavender
Bleach
Petrol
Burning rubber - Racing :D
Bonfires


Hate:
Smell of cooking food - makes me feel sick :green:
Smelly people

Probably loads more I hate, but can't think of
 
I love the smell of new tennis balls.
 
I went to the beauty parlor to get my hair trimmed. The woman sitting next to me was getting her hair permed. Man, that stunk so bad it was making my eyes water. :green:
 
Today my wife baked homemade biscuits for lunch.

I had to go out of the house for awhile to run an errand, and when I came back, they had just come out of the oven.

I tried to attach a file of that smell, but the server didn't recognize the file format.
 
I think most of my favourite smells are the usual clichés:

Likes:
Baking Bread.
Fresh Coffee (better still, Roasting Coffee).
New-mown grass.
Seaweed when the tide goes out.
Trichlorethane (the solvent used in such products as nail varnish).
Fish & Chip shops (probably fairly unique to the U.K.).
Coal Fires (ok, not exactly eco friendly, but smells gorgeous)

Hates:
Curry.
Cigarette Smoke (ex smoker, which heightens the sensitivity to it).
Overpowering Womens' Perfumes (brings tears to my eyes & makes me sneeze).
Tomato Plant Stems (smells like cat's urine).
Perfumed Soap.
