  • Pine trees, eucalyptus, fresh cut grass, and I LOVE diesel!!

  • @TxTom - oh yeah, TexMex 🤤😋
    I had a client in San Antonio a few years ago. Texas has much better TexMex than Indiana (as you might expect).

  • Lavender, gardenia, patchouli, yummy, flavorful cuisine.

  • -Gasoline
    -Coffee
    -Lighter Fluid

    I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I would know what patchouli was if I were to smell it but I like the word itself. Im just a hard working, blue collar, low class ass at heart. Just trying to keep my fingernails clean. Which reminds me …

    -Fingernail Polish Remover

    @NickWk - Years ago, G. Gordon Liddy had a radio talk show and someone called in once asking him for dating advice. Liddy said he wore Hoppes #9 as cologne and any woman who was attracted by it was a keeper 😂

    @metanoiahour 💯😂

    I love the smell of cinnamon and orange together. Vanilla and freshly cut grass are contenders for many, including me.

    Absolutely love lavender, I use a subtle organic spray on my sheets and pillows from an island lavender farm in northern Washington on the San Juan Islands.

    Fresh rain outside, that brisk but aromatic subtle smell on the winds.

  • Dragon's blood, pine trees, cozy comfort candle by Main Stays, warm vanilla. I also feel temperatures in a room can affect comfort level like the cooler at work makes me feel good whereas any retail store that's really hot makes me irritated.

  • Lilacs in the spring or worn as perfume. Reminds me of past companions and springtime.
    The smell of pine shavings on my woodworking shop floor.
    Oiled leather harness and the musky scent of horseflesh.

    :lol: "Sir, you might want to send a maintenance man... the lights are off... those flashlights are keepin' me awake."
