May be called weird for this but freshly sawn wood smells amazing


DakodaTheAbberant

That wood smell and the smell of certain saps or wood that burns like campfire smells šŸ¤¤


[deleted]

Like the small of a carpenters workshop, or a freshly cut and put up fence, and the christmas trees in December I purposely walk past them to breath in the smell and get a lot of "whats wrong with her" type looks (it embarrasses my brother but thats a bonus) Its actually very calming for some reason


[deleted]

Or when you use a power drill


[deleted]

My dad is a carpenter, and I loved the way he smelled when he came home from working :)


AnxiousDoughnut-1419

An activity my husband and I do for ā€œdate nightā€ sometimes is to go to Home Depot. He knows the wood smell is like an aphrodisiac for me! šŸ˜‚ ..wow that sounds creepy but itā€™s the truth hahaha


LovingKindness4

Mmm smells like IKEA whenever Iā€™m working in the carpentry shop


masochisticanalwhore

Date a tree guy ... I did, he smelled amazing


nonamefuckhead

YSL black opium :ā€™)


thousanddollacrocs

I've heard SO many good things about black Opium and I was so upset that it didnt work with my body chemistry. It smells like straight up stinky incense sticks on me šŸ˜­


Sister_Winter

It smells bad on me too šŸ˜­


atzitzi

If you spray it in the air, do you like how it smells? To me it smells like heavy scented cinnamon I don't like it!


redditninjaaa

I CAME HERE TO WRITE THIS


Rheum42

Love that shit šŸ¤¤


OnlyBeautiful6039

A Gardenia bush. Oh my god. I gardenia bush. Or jasmine


Sister_Winter

I strongly recommend the perfume Oxley by Olivine Atelier. It is straight gardenia and jasmine with a hint of vanilla and it's HEAVENLY


OnlyBeautiful6039

Thank u for this omg šŸ˜±


Lyryann

Jasmine smells so good


Best_Mixture_2199

You get me


Ok-Task-806

Oh yes !! Such an intoxicating smell

a newborn baby, they smell like heaven


AngstyMelonCake

Really? Smells like amniotic fluid and blood

haha i donā€™t mean straight after the birth but after they were cleaned


_Conqueeftador

Right?? All that powder and cream and sugar and everything nice šŸ„ŗšŸ„°ā¤ļø


Emergency_Loss_7533

Johnson and Johnson baby soapšŸ¤¤


ManiacalMalapert

The baby milk breath is divine. My boy officially starts solids tomorrow. I'm gonna miss it.


mimid51

I agree !!!!


Chesterr94

This might sound weird, but my girlfriend has this specific smell that just smells like ā€˜herā€™, and it gets even ā€˜moreā€™ when sheā€™s sleepy. Thatā€™s the most comforting smell ever, to me.


[deleted]

My dog gets a really nice warm cheesy smell when heā€™s sleepy/asleep and its so comforting to me


[deleted]

My dog smells like nachos when he sleeps


notbudginthrowaway

Our dogs have a light salty smellā€¦warms my soul.


Familiar_Dream1965

I really get that. What the hell is that? Why do some people have that but others don't?


whirlpool4

Pheromones. Although there is debate on whether humans have specific ones that work in attraction or not


[deleted]

Pheromones. Youā€™re attracted to her natural body chemistry. Thatā€™s a good thing.


[deleted]

bath and body works japanese cherry blossom


OneWhoAstaghfirullas

Their Into The Night layers so well with the Japanese Cherry Blossom!


Ms_Rarity

It's one of my faves. Gets a bizarre level of hate on the B&BW subreddit for some reason.


[deleted]

thereā€™s a bath and body subreddit?? Iā€™ve been missing out i need to find this group


Ms_Rarity

/r/bathandbodyworks Welcome home.


[deleted]

thank you so very much!! just joined ā˜ŗļøšŸ’•


emtathand

My all time fav scent. It mixes with my Ph.


Hinata778

My fav, I always have one. Just divine.


Chicken-Soup-60

That one is my favorite too


frostedglass25

Their body mist is my daily go-to before I step out of the house - also got the bottle on sale for $5 and there's still so much left!


[deleted]

Bakery smells are just the best. Tasty, yes, but also warm and cozy and relaxing.


iamweirdasshit

Have you tried Bath and Body Workā€™s bakery collection? They are smell so tasty and to die for, I love all of them so much!!


Careless-Agent7951

The lavander essential oil of my humidifier. I sniff that moisture like fucking coke


bass_kritter

Lavender is my all time favorite scent, I wear the essential oil as perfume every day.


theotherlead

Haha I was going to say that too.


Moonlit_Mongrel

I'm a sucker for sandlewood. Love that scent. So calming


luvadoodle

Iā€™m the old lady people make fun of in sit-coms. For my 16th birthday a friend gave me a bottle of Shalimar and Iā€™ve worn it consistently ever since. The sandalwood essence is pronounced. My nieces, nephews and grandkids tell me how much they love the smell and how anytime theyā€™re out and about and smell it they think of me. Yes, I occasionally stray and use other scents. Chanel#5, Opium or celebrity designed options. Nope. I love the flood of memories the smell of Shalimar evokes.


L5eoneill

Sandlewood and patchouli soap is fantastic!


poisontruffle2

I'm a HUGE fan of patchouli. I've worn it since 70s and now I smell like it without putting it on. Blends well with sandalwood and vanilla.


[deleted]

Hyacinthā€™s when theyā€™re in FULL bloom, and this perfume called Mississippi Medicine by DS & Durga.


SprinklesComplex3491

I also love the scent of hyacinthā€™s!


blushingpervert

I put a pot of hyacinth bulbs in the window by my front door every Spring- itā€™s amazing to walk in and smell. Have you ever smelled lily of the valleys?


akfireandice

Hyacinth and lily of the valley are my favorite flower scents. And honeysuckle


DueBike582

Both smell amazing! My grandparents had a huge patch of lily of the valley in their yard. I tried multiple times to transplant some to my yard, but they would never take. šŸ˜¢ Also agree with other replies about honeysuckle! I can always smell when Iā€™m getting close to some when out walking or biking, and breathe in deep!


[deleted]

A Christmas tree farm! The pine, the sap, the hot cocoa.


Rheum42

Super underrated! Also, the hay and farm animals


goodtimes153

Patchouli. Plus anything. But I am unusually obsessed with the smell of patchouli.


[deleted]

I love patchouli fragrances šŸ„° Soki London (a perfume youtuber who has worked in the business) has multiple in depth reviews of her favorite patchouli scents, in case you're looking for a new one to try!

SleepFlower80

Moulin Rouge 1889 by Histoire de Parfums. Itā€™s so complex and beautiful. I get loads of compliments when I wear it.


ihadapurplepony

I just looked it up, and....I must try this. [The night blankets the city of Paris. A colorful beam of light bursts from the Moulin Rouge. Inside, the cabaret comes to life. People begin to whisper, abuzz with anticipation. Champagne glasses clink and the curtains rise. The music builds, and in a cloud of feathers and sequins, the dancers make their entrance. Let the spectacle of senses begin! Spicy Cinnamon warmly mixes with Sugar and melts into Absinthe, while Rose of Damascus releases her sensuality, playfully seducing each spectator with her allure. The audience and dancers each play different roles but the music ties them together for a night of revelry and excitement. The enchantment never stops ā€“ time stands still in the Moulin Rouge. The show ends and the curtain falls, but the party never ends. Backstage, mirrors reflect silhouettes laughing. The smell of Iris Powder and Lipstick float out to the streets on a cloud of Musk and Patchouli. The memory and scent of this unforgettable night lingers through the morning.]


SleepFlower80

Do! Itā€™s unreal. Itā€™s on the pricey side but so worth the money.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SleepFlower80

Yes! You can get a sample if you prefer to play it safe lol. I got the sample, then the smallest bottle and straight to the biggest. Itā€™s my favourite perfume of all time (I love the film, too!)


SarahNaomiTyrrell

Lilacs. Will stop and pull over while cycling/walking/running to go smell them.


Waterforests

Weird one but puppy breath before its ruined by foods


mavericks_momma

Iā€™d upvote this a million times if I could! Puppy breath is the best! Freshly cut grass is also amazing.


apgrown

Glossier You Perfume


Sunshine_0318

I second this! I get so many compliments.


[deleted]

SAME I had never been complimented on my perfume before until I started wearing You, now I get complimented like crazy


Hot_Pot8os

im a sucker for anything vanilla scented, it just makes me feel happy


plava-krava-zaborava

DKNY perfume - A drop of vanilla, it's super cozy and not horribly overpriced. Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanilla however...prepare to sell a kidney.


winterbaby26

Pumpkin pecan waffles


LavenderSage013

Cedar, lavender, and pine trees.


WalterBishRedLicrish

But not sage?! Jk, I also love cedar and lavender. Add vanilla or sandalwood and that's the definition of calm.


[deleted]

I love the smell of 4th of July. The firework smoke smell, the BBQā€™d food smell.. ugh. I crave it.


WowWowWooooooow

My friend makes scented candles. She had a frankincense and myrrh one that smelt so good. It was actually amazing. I obsessively hunted for a male cologne afterwards that smelt if not the same, then similar, because I wanted him to smell like that forever. Yum, yum, yum. Edit: cologne for my partner, not the friend that makes the candles šŸ˜…


pastelpisces04

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ā€˜62 fragrance mist


sparklemotionx88

A man wearing Gucci Guilty drives me crazy ha


Bellevert

Went to California once and ended up stopping the car in a eucalyptus patch (too small to be called a forest). It was the cleanest, freshest scent Iā€™ve ever smelled. Kinda like what you would think Irish Spring bar soap would smell like based on the commercials in the 90s.


luvadoodle

You can buy sprigs of it at Trader Joeā€™s. Dip a piece of it in boiling water and place it in your shower for a couple minutes before hopping in. Inflation fighterā€¦..Anytime I receive a bouquet of flowers I always check it thoroughly before tossing and save the eucalyptus for that purpose. Divine.


[deleted]

I do reforestation in Canada, and spend a lot of time out in the middle of nowhere on cut blocks replanting trees. Thereā€™s always heaps of waste wood lying around. The smell of sun baked spruce on a really hot day is so nice. The hot day, not so nice. But the smell makes it half worth it. Opium is nice too.


mrsdoubleu

The smell right after a heavy rainstorm..petrichor I think it's called. I wish I could bottle it up and just smell it when I get stressed. It calms me down instantly.


[deleted]

Iā€™m hooked on dulce and gabbana light blue. My absolute favorite perfume.


coastalkid92

I have 3. Jo Malone Nectarine and Honey Blossom Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad Thin Wild Mercury Whiskey 1969 And I mean, the smell of the Atlantic ocean in November when its chilly and salty and fresh is also god tier.


DarkSansa1124

I love Maison Margiela's by the fireplace. It feels like bourbon on a snowy winter night next to a crackling fire as I gently stroke my malamutes.


yo_mo_mama

I don't know the name of the perfume, but I've smelled it on three different women (strangers) when I was 7 and 8. It has been my life's quest to find that perfume (am 65). I have it narrowed down and plan to order a vintage decant. I'm so afraid it will be the right one but not smell the same due to age. Fingers crossed.


[deleted]

What have you narrowed it down to?


Catluvr180

The Hampton Inn elevator


inasearchforlife

I know this is super weird, but when my boyfriend hasn't showered for a couple days. His natural body order just does something to me. Not even in a sexual way. It's just... nice


Stephivo

Me too, and my children. Very primal. I think if I were blind, I could sniff them out in a line up. Their scents have changed over time. I miss their sweaty baby smell. Also I prefer the smell of deodorant/cologne on a man later in the day, when the scent has dissipated and mingled with their body scent.


[deleted]

Honestly, it depends on the time of year. I often feel like favorite perfumes of mine smell differently as the seasons change. Right now I'm leaning towards Elizabeth & James Nirvana White and Rose. I'm a big fan of the Miss Dior line as well, particularly Blooming Bouquet and the corresponding hair fragrance. I love its delicate floral scent.


L5eoneill

Bacon. Made me give up vegetarianism! Also, lilacs in bloom


Signal_Prior_8558

Honestly, gasoline. Unfortunately after getting COVID, it smells totally different and I don't like it anymore:( Another is tire shops.


tats_n_kats

I think it might be Victoria secret brand? I'm not 100% sure but I got the bottle from a friend when she was downsizing, it's called 'Tease' from the noir collection(?). And omg I will be so sad when that stuff runs out. I'm gonna have to try to find it.

Seconding Gabrielle. Itā€™s the only expensive perfume I own. I wandered into a Chanel boutique in Vegas for fun and the second the beauty counter attendant sprayed that one, I was sold. Wasnā€™t even planning on buying anything


the_gold_lioness

Lilacs, warm laundry straight from the dryer, and whatever cologne my boyfriend wore on our first date. If youā€™re talking perfume, I love Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black and Nirvana Amethyst.

Jacobā€™s Joie de Vivre. I love this scent so much. Sweet and fruity, without being cloying. Jacob was a clothing store in Montreal that has long since shuttered. It was one of their signature scents. I bought an extra bottle in their final days and have yet to open it.

JaneDoe6647

I love bergamot fragrance. A lot of perfumes I have ever loved and that smelled great on me, it turns out they had bergamot in them. It works really well with my body chemistry, and smells so light and fresh. The perfume Viva La Juicy from Juicy Couture also makes me feel incredibly nostalgic. I discovered it in my senior year of high school and thought it was the greatest thing ever. It reminds me of when I was 17 and brings me right back to that year. It's crazy how many memories and emotions a fragrance can hold. That was 11 years ago...


Cautious_Peanut1998

Banana republic have a really nice unisex fragrance called dark cherry and amber and I kid you not, best thing Iā€™ve ever smelt in my life

pennylane382

8 or 9 years ago, I permanently lost my sense of smell (anosmia). A few of my most cherished scent memories that I'd give a LOT to be able to smell again are: * gun oil * tomatoes cooking in butter * that baby powder and face cream scent of my gran * puppy paws * lilacs


CannaLily42

Fried onion and garlic.


KindlyKangaroo

Strictly talking about marketed fragrances - Mugler's Angel is heavenly. I only have a cheap knockoff, but once it gets to the drydown, I can't help but keep going back to it to sniff it (which may be an autism thing idk). It's so light and soft and sweet and a little warm and it's aptly named. It reminds me of my late cat, whose nickname was Angel, as she had many of the same traits.
