Yeah, the new car smell that somebody mentioned is good. So is fresh cut wood and new paint, like you have just had a room remodeled. I also like cut grass - especially the kind that has the wild onions growing in it and you can smell them too when it's cut. Burning leaves, a fireplace fire, spray starch when you are ironing, garlic, certain incenses, safeguard soap, regular shower to shower powder, the smell of the old 1982 Rave hairspray, freshly ran off mimeographed papers from back in school (yeah, this next generation never got to experience that one), Love's Baby Soft cologne, Jean Nate cologne, a Christmas tree, Gorgio perfume, White Linen perfume, Halston perfume, Joy perfume, regular green Polo men's cologne, matches when you strike them, the incense they use in Mass (Queen of Heaven I think it is), the inside of a new tire store, the inside of Shakey's Pizza in Fairfield in 1978, this one thing of cream cologne that Coty made in the late 70's - it had 4 or 6 little squares of the cologne in the compact and one of them was called something like Woodland Glen or something, food being bbq'd, clothes that have been hung out on the clothesline, old lady's houses that are all clean and neat and no pets and have this mothball smell, hospitals (I may be the only person on the planet who likes the smell of hospitals, but I was in one a lot sick as a kid, was taken to work with my mother a whole bunch when I wasn't sick, volunteered in one for several years, and worked in one for years - I basically grew up in hospitals), Jergan's lotion, the original almond smell, Noxema - not the knock off brand - the actual brand name, Coppertone suntan lotion, Hawaiian Tropic suntan oil, Old Spice because my husband used to wear it, those crumbly soft kind of peppermint sticks that used to come in a tin and I think had a lion on them, a baby's head.
