I agree. Even when i was a smoker i hated it. I'd brush my teeth or use a Wisp after each smoke. Plus perfume, and i never smoked around people that didnt smoke out of consideration. Husband use to joke that i was like a teenager trying to cover up the fact that they were smoking to their parents.

Forgot to add another fave odor... the muskiness of a nice man, oh yeah thats gold. When they get close to you and you get that unique mix of aftershave, masculinity and even a bit of sweat....sweet Jesus, I never need drink again. :lol:

Or a smokers car. I know. I smoked until about 10 years ago, my car smelled like something you find in a barnyard. I still occasionly smoke a pipe, but only outside on the front porch.

Another favourite of mine, freshly made coffee wafting from the kitchen as you wake up.

I like the smell of a bakery. When I was a kid we lived next door to one and early in the morning is when they baked, and I could smell that every morning when I woke up.

It looks like fresh baked bread is the favorite, that one is hard to beat I think the next best is a chicken barbeque.

I do too. One place I used to live at, the neighbor had a bagfull in his yard one summer. Man, it was putrid. It must have been there 3 or 4 months, the lazy ass wouldnt do anything about it, finally all his neighbors turned him into the city health dept. and even then it took another 2 months before they made him clean up his yard. Thats got to be one of the worse stinks in the world.
