Not necessarily in the top ten, but: the unique banana-oil smell of Hoppe's No. 9 gun cleaning solvent.

It's 105 years old.

new shoes. new car has lost it's luster for me, im afraid.

Sudden, spring rain. I heard it start about 30 seconds ago, and stuck my head out the window...ahhh.

Halloween. Dunno what it is, but Halloween night has a certain late fall, smoky smell for me.

Lilac trees in the spring

Aussie brand hair products

freshly mowed grass

(no edibles? Hang on...)

Italian food baking in the oven

Petrichor. Me too. I miss it from my youth spent in a much hotter clime. I dont' get it very often here. There are compensatory pleasures, though.

LabRat · 04-24-2007, 04:07 PM

I am surprised this has a name, and scientific at that! I am not surprised however that BigV knew what it was.

Also one of my favorite smells.

I didn't know it had a name, either. And, I didn't know it had to do with a hotter climate; I was thinking 'BigV..you live in SEATTLE...you get rain all the time!'

I love rain, it's rainy here today and I think it's great.

BigV · 04-25-2007, 04:31 PM

Sure, but it's rarely hot enough to raise the temperature of the ground or the pavement for the first moments of the rain to cook off the oils and fill the air with that perfume.

That special earthy just after the rain smell.

Jasmine

One that I really miss ... getting stuck in traffic in front of the Wonderbread factory at Markley and Main in Norristown. The factory is gone, but I will always remember the smell that helps build strong bodies 12 ways. It was exactly the same smell that you got when you opened the twist-tie on the bag, but warmer and richer and all around you.

Getting stuck in traffic near the Oreo Cookie plant on the Boulevard wasn't quite as good for me, but then I didn't do that quite as regularly. I know other people who really liked driving by Whitman's Chocolates.

Hey, that's the intersection where I was involved in a minor traffic accident and got punched out by the other driver so I needed a plastic surgeon to stitch me up.

bluecuracao · 04-26-2007, 10:17 PM

Ouch

Undertoad · 04-26-2007, 10:33 PM

Six weeks before my wedding, like 15 years ago. I talked about it on the Cellar at the time.
