Cinnamon and Vanilla, the perfume of my first real friend. (There is a bunch of other stuff in it as well)

It always reminds me of her, and now we finally have facebook contact, hope to set up a date soon.

Pine, Fir, Cedar, Wood, Fireplaces, Campfires, Watermelon (melons in general), Old Spice, My Dog, Before and After a Storm, Strawberry (berries in general), Vanilla, Spearmint and Peppermint, High-end Cigar Smoke Remenants on People, Fresh Made Noodles, Some Types of Bread

The smell of incense candles but, this goes back many decades though but, still something I recall quite well though..

Coffee beans, or coffee percolating on the stove (don't like the taste at all, though)
Twinings Four Fruits tea
the orange-vanilla oil that my wife will dab behind her ears sometimes, just for me
freshly-sawn lumber
old, old records
the spaghetti sauce that I make
roast beef in the oven
a bakery
mimeograph ink (bet a lot of you aren't old enough to have smelled it)
the smell before it rains
black licorice
freshly-laundered bed sheets
old-fashioned hardware stores - the mingling of the smells of all the things they sell
real potpourri (not the fake kind in a bag from Wal-mart)
lavender

The last two remind me that the most heavenly smell I've ever smelled was the Horticulture building at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto (they tore it down years ago). They had thousands of flowers on display, and the mixture hit you as you walked in the door. If there's a heaven, I imagine it should smell like that.

Roses

The smell of Spring... probably my favorite.

Stippers... I don't know if they have special parfumes but they often smelled amazing. (Its been a decade or so since I smelled one though so here are some everyday favorites)

Cedar

Peat moss

Pine sap

Patchuly oil (I don't know how to spell it, its like a parfume)

A wood fire

Brewing Coffee

Baking Bread

oranges

Hot Japanese motorcycle engines.

Dinner, when I'm hungry nothing smells better.

The smell of cinnamon, don't ask me why just do..

Nag Champa incense
Hawaii - the smell of plumeria and other flowers blooming is omnipresent
Pencil erasers

New cars.
My famous (well, famous to me) vegetable curry.
Magazines with that shiny paper.
The smell outside after it's rained.
Freshly baked bread.
My cats fur.

New cars
Newspaper
Tire shops
Cigarette lighter fluid
Cigars
Pine trees
Gasoline
Frying ground beef
The acoustic room in Guitar Center
Freshly painted walls
Marijuana
Pen ink
Typewriters
Vinyl records

I was thiking about this thread as I worked and I missed three big favorites.

The smell of an oncoming storm in the late spring.

Cured concrete.

Black soil

The rubbery smell of sport sections in department stores in the spring/summer. The smell is much weaker these days than it was twenty five years ago. I guess they are making stuff out of synthetics more now.

Cooking food.

cedar
the woods after a rainstorm
vanilla
caramel
chocolate
woodsmoke (campfires, fireplaces)
burning incense
my boyfriend's natural scent (greatest smell in the world)

Whoa that's a great call. I'd never have thought of it but that is an awesome smell.

Also...

Marijuana (fresh or burning, preferably fresh)--that's been a favorite smell of mine since long before I ever tried smoking it.

As many other have said, campfires.

Vietnamese pho (quite possibly the best of all).

Freshly brewed, high-end coffee/espresso.

Coffee. I don't drink it, but I love the smell.
mint especially really strong varieties. Sometimes they can really clean out one's sinuses. We have a really strong variety in a small garden outside and I just need one whiff to unclog my sinuses
stir fry
gunpowder
fruits
fish
cheese
pizza
CHOCOLATE
