I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

My tackle box, it belonged to my grandfather, then to my dad, and now it's mine. It has a distinct and pleasant aroma that brings back a lot of happy memories for me, not just of dad and grandpa but also of fishing and having fun with my wife and daughter. I also like the aroma of good cooking, anybody's cooking. The smell of the Tumbleweed theater, the place had to be 30 - 40 years old when I started going there to see movies in the 50's and it had a pleasant musty kind of smell that I remember to this day, it got torn down in the late 70's, it's now a shopping center.
One smell I find revolting is the odor produced by a piece of red oak that has become bound up in a saw blade and started to burn, it can make me gag.

Love the smell of a fresh rain, the first one in the spring is usually the best.  Once I was up and walking around outside at about 5:00 in the morning, the smell of the dewey grass was just amazing.  And microwave popcorn.  Actually that artificial butter they put on it.  I've got a can of no-stick spray that smell like that.  Pipe tobacco is great, cinnamon rolls too.

Bad:  Once caught a mole out in the yard.  Tossed him in the garbage.  Two days later I got within three feet of the garbage can and absolutely gagged.

Those out houses at he public acsesses at a lake. GAWD!!! Loaded with mosquitos and spiders...smells like Hell on Earth! When you look into the toilet,you see big nasty clumps of who knows what. I'm always afraid some nasty creature is going to jump up and crawl up my ass like some kinda weird alien movie thing. So I try to poop with my ass not quite touching the seat. And I try not to breath through my nose.

Interesting that microwave popcorn has come up a couple of times. One of the main ingredients in artificial butter flavouring is manufactured at a chemical plant in my hometown - along with things like motor oil additives, seed treatments, synthetic rubber, pest control products, and agent orange, although that one was a few decades ago.

The chemical is called diacetyl, which is apparently found naturally in real butter. However, this stuff is artificially produced in vast quantities. Ask anyone who has been around to smell this, and they'll tell you that a teeny-tiny amount of the stuff smells like butter. A whole lot of it.....will kill your appetite in a hurry.

According to wikipedia, it is also apparently the cause of 'popcorn lung' - one of the risks of working in the microwave popcorn industry.

I love the smell of Tide laundry powder.  Sadly, we don't get it here Bluesad

I love floral scents, especially Diorissimo perfurme by Christian Dior.  It's my favourite, but it's hella expensive.  Years ago, an older man I was dating bought me some for xmas and he said when he smelled it, it reminded him of me.  Awwww Smile   Since then, I count it as my signature scent.

I also love Yardley's perfumes April Violets and Lily of the Valley.  And there's a body butter by The Body Shop called "Moringa".  It's just divine and I'm going to buy some this week.

As for bad smells - dog s**t/chook poo/cow manure etc, musk perfumes like Samsara, mandarins, vomit, parmesan or other highly woofy cheese, cigarette smoke and B.O.  There are probably others, but that's all I can think of right now.

One of my favorite scents is the smell that are on some bag gloves that I used when I could still train.  It's just on the inside it's remains how much hard work I put into my training before.  I sorta get the same scent from my sparring gear that I use since it also reminds me how hard and how much effort I would into hard sparring.

One of my least favorite smells is this disinfectant that this doctor's office used that I used to visit.  It smelled so bad, it was like musky bad deodorant.  It was horrible, and what made it worse was that I had to be in the room that they used it in for a long time while I waited for the doctor to come in.

Good... coffee, unburned tobacco, hyacinths, roses, home baked cookies, fresh mowed grass, rain in a dry place like the desert (rain here in oregon is not so sweet smelling) some odd favorites are swimming pools and skunk about a 1/2 mile away. 

bad... Skunk WITHIN 1/2 mile, patchoulli, too strong/too artificial air fresheners, burned garlic, burning cigars, rotting meat.

I read a study in the New Scientist mag a while back on what smells men find the biggest turn on.  Interestingly enough, it's food.

So the tip for us women is, forget the florals and go for the cookies, chocolate, vanilla, cream, apple pie or cinnamon smells.

What do you guys have to say about that?

As much as I love the smell of bacon I don't think it's going to make me be attracted towards someone of the opposite sex.

Karma though for the video.

Favorite smell: fresh cut grass in the Spring... which is hard to come by anymore living in a mecca of concrete and pavement.  Bluesad

Hated smell: either the cat little box after 2 weeks, any kind of AXE body spray, or the smell of food items after they've been sitting in the crisper drawer so long that they've melted into primordial ooze. Buggedout
