Who has ever smelt Huon Pine?
Huon Pine only grows in the temperate rainforest of South West Tasmania so very few people here would know the aroma of it's oil.

 

[Gark]

-Waking up from a campsite tent and another family upwind who roused earlier, cooking bacon over the open wood fire.
- Cedar, spruce and pine forest in early summer morning.
- Strong sweet flower scent from a mature linden tree in late May/early June.
- The atmospheric odor I no longer detect when we get out of the city.

Homemade bread... bacon... cotton candy... a newborn with baby lotion after bath time.
No, I've never smelled (or heard of!) Huon Pine.

 

[jpstrap]

If Huon pine smells anything like southern US pine sawdust, I'd probably love it.

So many, too many to list. Again.

Local forests more or less at valley-bottom level: red cedar, Douglas fir and hemlock, with larch, white pine, ponderosa pine, birch, balsam poplar, and alder mixed in here & there. The duff on the ground in there smells great, too, especially after a rain.

Freshly baked bread. Freshly cut red-cedar boards. Southern cedar (here only imported in thick sheets or small boards). Freshly-ground coffee. Barbecued food items. Mexican molé sauce. Pine & juniper incense brought back from the American Southwest.

Like some of the guys around here, I occasionally do some practical work with carbon steel. I (and my next neighbor too) like the scent of freshly cut steel (but we suspect it wouldn't be good to inhale it too often).

Ponderosa pine bark smells like vanilla. It's really nice when there is ceanothus around and the rotting granite soils they typically grown in.

Freshly baked bread, mmmmm..... but not the pong that comes from my backside.

 

[LoveTulips]

Cinnamon among many others.

 

[Paco Dennis]

When my sniffer is working well, I enjoy the aromas wafting around everywhere. I can't think of too many smells that I don't like, so my list would include a whole lot a smells. I guess I don't need to mention this...but here I go again...my own toots.

 

[davey]

cigars mainly and ideally cuban?

 

[Remy]

I got some wonderful lavender spray at the farmers market. I spray it in the bedroom before bed.

 

[jujube]

I love the smell of mothballs (in moderation, of course). It reminds me of my grandmas' houses and that's a warm-and-fuzzy feeling.

 

[DebraMae]

Mine are mostly tree smells. Pine when I walk out of the house in the summer. Fresh cut pine and cedar. Sandalwood.
Oddly enough, bleach. I love the smell of clothes that had bleach added to the wash water. After they are dry the smell reminds me of fresh air and sunshine. Also, cinnamon and cloves in the winter. Oh, and orange peel. There are a lot of smells I love. I'll quit now...

 

[papa tiger]

Well prepared food, especially Soups, Stews, Gravies & Corn.
Sweet Corn in most everything works, is the answer. haha

 

[Ruthanne]

Barbq food or pizza cooking, patchouli, the fresh air after it rains, new car smell.

 

[MrPants]

Gasoline and the exhaust fumes of an engine burning methanol.
Freshley washed, air dried & ironed bed linens.

 

[papa tiger]

Ur pants off to ya dude! ... ...

 

[Naturally]

Money ... the paper, not the coins
Nice to have that smell around from time to time

Chicken crisping up on the grill as it sears.

Biting into a peach from the orchard's roadside stand.

Cutting into the first home-grown ripe muskmelon of the season.

Home made Cajun dirty rice as it just cooks down, with real minced chicken livers not ground pork and beef.

Heirloom lilac and honeysuckle in bloom.

Aromatic red cedar wood on the planer.
