What's that smell?

truncated · 05.03.2006, 10:42 AM

I have quite an olfactory obsession. As is generally true of all humans, sense of smell is the most closely linked of all the senses to memory and emotion.

Some of my favorite smells/the ones that affect me most strongly:

Lavender
Jasmine
Pumpkin
Cinnamon
Natural vanilla
Musk
Hot tar
Skunk (I love that smell)
Chamomile
Bread
Unwashed hair
Almond
Amaretto
Sweat
Old books
Fabric softener
Mown grass

What are your favorite smells?

Yeah, agree with the girl smell one.
Cut grass
New carpet
Can't beat those.

I hate the smell the guy's in general, me especially.

I have an unbreakable habit of associating memories of people with their perfume/cologne, even if they don't wear it habitually.

I'll be damned if I can remember names or faces no matter how many times I've met a person (I have failed to recognize members of my own family after extended periods without contact), but I will always remember a person's scent.

Take it you've read Perfume then?

I hate cut grass personally! It reminds me of work pushing a lawnmower for 3 1/2 hours cutting greens :S

I like 'girl smell' myself, as long as it's not overpowering. I like subtle girl smell, ones that you catch the barest waft of, affecting but not cloying. Perfume overload is a crime.

Are you referring to the Suskind novel? No, but it looks intriguing.

Danny Himself · 05.03.2006, 10:59 AM

Girl smell. Hm. I'm not sure what exact smell this is, but yes, I agree.

*dreamy look of resignation*

For a person who seems obsessed with smell you have to read it. I'll send you a copy if you want?

Well it depends which girl smell you're talking about. For me everything goes ^_^

A free book? Hook me up.

You're so getting repped for that.

Savage Clone · 05.03.2006, 11:01 AM

Not a big fan of perfumes.
Oils are nice in small doses.

h8kurdt · 05.03.2006, 11:01 AM

Another boost to my ego, horrar. Wlell listen send us your adrees and i'll send it you.

My absolute FAVORITE SMELL OF ALL TIME (as far as 'perfumes' go) is Bath & Body Works Rice Flower & Shea lotion. I refuse to wear anything else. It is an olfactory orgasm.
