Favorite and least favorite odors

Bighuey · Post by **Bighuey** » 25 Jul 2012, 19:33

I heard this on a radio talk show this morning. They were having people call in and tell their worst and favorite odors. My least favorite is human doo-doo. When I changed my kids diapers, I would wrap a scarf with shaving lotion around my face, thats the only way I could handle it. My favorite that I can think of right now is the smell of tacos cooking from the many taco stands in town on the main highway. By the time I get from one end of town to the other, Im so hungry I could eat a horse. Maybe I have, some of those places are a little iffy. What say you?

Hi Bighuey. One of my favourtie odours would have to be fresh bread baking. There was a bakery close to the club that we used to go to. We would walk past it going home at about 3 or 4 in the morning just as the bakery was baking the bread. The smell was UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Yeah, fresh bread has got to be one of the best odors in the world. Especially home-made.

Ok this is going to sound crazy...but seeing that I work in food service...i love the smell of our freezer and cooler at work. Strange?

You wouldnt want to smell my freezer. It needs a good cleaning. When I was a kid I liked the smell of gasoline.

Favorites: fresh baked bread, rain, fresh cut grass, books (old and new), and my husband. He doesnt really smell like cologne or anything, and it really doesnt make any sense, but i love how he smells. It's very human and manly. And Christmas. It always has a certain scent that brings back memories. Cats. Well, my cat atleast. And very strangely, i like the smell of skunks. Not saying i would chase one down or allow myself to be sprayed, mind you, but i like the smell. Breakfast. Best smell in the world.

Hate: Air fresheners. Dont care what scent it is, i hate it. Fruit punch. Glass cleaner. Fritos. Cows and horses.

Love smell of fresh baked bread, newly cut grass, vanilla candles, magnolia blossoms, wild roses, honeysuckle, Freesia, fresh coffee, just bathed baby, freshly laundered sheets, old spice aftershave and garages (especially the smell of petrol and grease) and Christmas turkey cooking and, of course, some red wines!

I hate BO, smelly socks, baby poo, Potpourri, wet clothes, musty rooms, sweet sickly perfumes, cooked cabbage and the smell of butchers or fish shops.

Freshly ground dark coffee, the smell of straw just before it rains, eucalyptus leaves, cannabis leaves, freshly
baked apple pie, burlap sacks(without anything in them), paris when it drizzles, paris when it sizzles, a smoke
house full of pork ribs, cedar drawers, chests, and closets, freshly milled mahogany, pine cones, mint, a freshly
made gin and tonic(lemon twist), and of course, napalm in the morning.

Least favorite: liver and onions, really old Churches(built say during the Renaissance), perfume made from gardenias,
hurl, sulphur, burnt hair, nursing homes populated by incontinent seniors(I know it's not their fault).

Favorite: Fresh bread in a bakery

Worst: cheap deoderant, the kind that costs only a euro, when I use it I come out in a rash and it has this horrible thick smell that fills your lungs.

some favorites. Celantro, rosemary, some deodorants and shaving lotions, sheets dried on a clothesline, new car interior.
Least favorite. Unclean nursing homes, BO, animal rendering plants, fish processing plants, pulp mills, and beer cheese.

I agree with everyone on the bread smell, also like cut grass, sawn wood, aniseed and roses.....love the smell of roses.
Dislikes...have been in a couple of slaughter houses over the years and the smell is horrendous, don't like the smell of morning breath ( especially if laced with garlic ) and not over keen on the smell of puke, oh and the smell of wet dog.
