    Your favorite smell
    We were talking about favorite smells in another thread. Got me thinking. Maybe a little bit strange of a topic, but what are your favorite scents/smells? Mine-

    My daughters hair after she showers
    Stargazer lillies
    My husbands cologne
    A campfire
    Fresh rain on pavement
    Coffee
    Lilac

    But for real...

    Coffee smells really good.

    Beer. I know that may seem odd, i just think it smells good lol. Even the smell of an empty bottle.

    The cherry blossom scented body wash or lotion or whatever that one of the nurses at my work uses. (Yes im creepy and i asked why she smelled so good.) Who would have guess cherry blossoms smelled so good lol?!

    The air before its about to snow. Idk why but the air smells really cold and clean before its about to snow.

    Theres probably more i cant think of.

    LMAO! You're missing out. I do have some of the other though if you're interested, minus the sewage...side note, we had a cadaver dog on the agency I work for and use human remains to train with. NOT one of my favorite smells, that. You're missing out on the horses, they're pretty awesome.

    Thats actually really awesome sounding dude! I would love to go see that in action. What breed of dogs? Are you a leo?

    I like horses as well kinda sweet smell. I like cats breath over puppies breath because cats breath is harder to come by.
    Skunks,, I like the smell of skunks, but only from a distance.
    rain on concrete
    blood

    Hahahaha! You're ate up! No horses but you're game for that?! Yes, I'm a cop and the dog was/is (he's retired now) a Belgian Malinois. Great dog at what he did but spastic and had one speed: GO!, all the time... It's pretty incredible to see them work and in various conditions (snow, rain, fog/dew, warm/cold days, etc.) and how well they can track with just a miniscule amount of scent to work with.

    This topic had me thinking. I love the smell of Chris's tshirts after he has worn them, his cologne/aftershave, pearberry lotion from bath and body (no longer available), anything peppermint, pot roast that has been cooking all day in a slow cooker and my apple pie. Out of all those, Chris's tees are my faves!

    Absolutely to both. They are just incredibly high drive and like to be occupied. Not a bad thing, so long as you can keep them occupied but for having one at home...I'd pass. I appreciate them for their intelligence and their working abilities but I would never own one.

    Belgian Malinois too high strung. Id imagine them being the next "pit bull" more prey drive and more high strung. DEF. NOT a dog for the average person.

    I would tend to agree with most of that. They aren't for the average person but then, most working line/working group animals aren't meant to be housepets. They're great dogs so long as they have a job but without something to occupy them they tend to act out. More an owner awareness issue than a detraction to the breed.

    Blood - Love that smell and the taste!

    Right before and during a big rain storm

    Snow, like the smell during a blizzard

    a campfire

    Roses

    Tulips

    Snake poop

    I really love the smell of marijuana. The plant, the smoke, everything about it I just love the smell!

    Skunks, when I fostered two babies they had such a unique smell!

    Fish Stink Bait... the stuff you rub on your lures and stuff to make it really smelly for the fish.... EVERYBODY gags at that stuff but for some reason I love that smell

    Strawberry cheese cake

    Most of all, my mothers "The moon and Stars" perfume. I love it. When I smell it on her it makes me remember the good times when I was a kid. When I lived in Belgium and when things were safe and carefree.

    It is just amazing. When they yawn it's the best. Grab them and put them to your nose. Mmmm. But at about 6 weeks they start getting dog breath. Ugh.

    The 2 that came to mind first are gasoline. Don't know why. And when I came home from work yesterday my wife had made a banana bread! Banana bread baking is hands down the best smell ever (to me anyways). Cool thread.

    My girlfriend's smell.
    The smell of a barn full of horses.
    Moss.
    Reptile. (the natural musky odor reptiles have)
    Puppy smell.
    Cloves.
    Vanilla & shea butter.

    After that mashup, people may wonder if my girlfriend smells like a dirty hippie.
