Well, sort of spur-of-the-moment sparkle in my head... I am just curios... and I want feedback! :P Mine? Of Course... EARTH wet after the RAIN , whether it is raining still or not (I prefer to smell it when there's some light heavenly drops coming down on, especially when I am dancing underneath the clouds...). I like to think that was one of my first Pagan experiences... ;)

those unexpected (and otherwise unexplained) scents i smell (perfume, aftershave, flowers), that lead me to believe, someone who's crossed over is paying me a visit. :OL

funkpuss	08 May 2002
Because once I was told that I smell quite pungent and I thought you cheeky sodd. But it's true I've got a strong smell but it's not offensive and I'm very clean. But at my best I smell of a perfume called jungle elephant by Kenzo. That sounds worse but everyones says to me that's my smell and it suits me!! I just got myself another BIG bottle the other day too!! Funky:)

Jenny-Li	08 May 2002
The smell of spring, a fair green scent of new life... mmmmm Jenny *loves this time of year* :D

Kiama	08 May 2002
I don't have a favourite smell as such.. But the ones that remind me of wonderful things is that smell of frosty nights and bonfires that is always there round November... And the smell that comes around at Christmas... Its the smell of my Dad's really gaudy 80's Christmas decorations on the ceiling, mixed with sherry, and a bit of Christmas tree... It brings back some very fond memories... And, when I'm, hungry.. The smell of chips is HEAVENLY!!!!!! Oh, and I can't get by without the smell of my boyfriend.. Its just wonderful. And I LOVE the smell of the Lynx aftershave, 'Africa'... Kiama

a few... the scent of campfires during the summer brings back a lot of memories. one of my favourites (Well, it's more a feeling that a scent.) is at night after a snowstorm. The stars are out, and everything's covered in a layer of smooth sparkling white. the air's cold and smells like campfires.

I was going to start a thread about ,"what do you smell like=favorite perfume,cologne etc...." but you beat me to it. (sort of). I have a response for the ladies to use in a typical pick up line that men say, so here it goes....... When a guy approaches you and says,"My, you smell really good. What are you wearing?"I like to respond back with,"no underwear." (DON't YOU JUST LOVE ME!!)

Dragonfly	08 May 2002
I love the smell of the earth and the way the moring air smell right at sunrise. I love spring smell flowers trees the smell of bread when it rise don't ask me why. :)

Rhiannon	08 May 2002
Baby's heads after Johnson's Baby Shampoo! Nag Champa incense, pine trees and honeysuckle. My fave purfume is called Autumn Breeze, sort of musky/woodsy and at first it smells like apples. Rhiannon :)

Sam	08 May 2002
The smell of a fresh dump in the pot! ROFL! Just Kidding. Okay, there's a story to my fav. smell. Here it goes. We were doing a science project in school, which involved mothballs. My teacher was crushing them for the experiment, when he cried, "Whew! These stink! Can you guys smell them?!" Wel, we couldn't so he called on me to come up and smell them. ============= Low and Behold my new favorite smell was born! The End!

Hi I used to work as a Dental Nurse years ago and you could smell the fear of the patients, even the ones that was very clean. They all had the same smell, it was a very srtong smell but it's so hard to discribes but you just knew staight away if the patients nerves got the better of them. Even the ones who pretended that they was confident. I know this myself as when I'm stress out I smell like a Wilderbeast:eek: I was going to tell a rude joke about fish but it's not for this forum, my name say's it all. HHHHmmmmmmm Funky:*

kayne	09 May 2002
My scent of choice is Gucci: Envy. I love it and when ever I put it on it helps me feel in a 'going out and having a good time' mood. I also really like the smell of Australian Eucalypt Forests! Reminds me of making cubbies and exporing the bush as a kid. :D

wavebreaker	09 May 2002
Quote: Originally posted by kayne I also really like the smell of Australian Eucalypt Forests! Me too! On my last visit to Australia I made a balloon flight in Queensland and just before we landed we passed over a group of eucalyptus trees. The smell was wonderful! By the way: my eau de toilette is called Mystery Australia. Doesn't smell of eucalyptus though. Don't really know what it smells of, I guess that's the mystery about it... ;)

Fairchild	09 May 2002
Easy: Gardenia flowers & sandalwood. They make me come alive, uplifting to put it in a nutshell.

Maan	09 May 2002
Jasmine it take's me back to a camping trip under a jasmine bush or tree.....? And the smell of strawberry!!! And fresh baked pie And of course the smell of new books ( or decks ) :)

Duality	09 May 2002
honeysuckle, vanilla and caramel what can I say? I love sweet scent!! oh and the smell right after lightening, crisp fresh and totally revitalizing!

cricket	12 May 2002
I actually *thought* about this one... *L* Black, sticky, slippery river mud. Or lilacs. Or wisteria. Or baking bread... mmmm yummy... Most the time, just because, it would be the smell of an old barn. One that's still being used. One with hay in the loft, and a couple of stalls for horses, a tack room (with the door open), and plenty of room for free roaming cattle to wander in when the weather turns bad.

Phoenix	12 May 2002
I absolutely love the smell of citrus, be it real, or synthetic. I also love the smell of sandalwood, sweetgrass, patcholi, and Sage incense!

Liliana	13 May 2002
Liliac, Dragon Blood incense, a tarot deck fresh out of the box(ad new book too) :THP

Pollux	13 May 2002
Liliana, I do think you should be treated for your Tarotical Pathology. And that Dragon Blood is extremely powerful (so take care!) BUT IT ALSO IS EXTREMELY EXPENSVE!!! *LOL* I just wanted to add one. It came to my mind cos I happened to read once again the Ode to a Nightingale by Keats. I just love the smell of freshly made wine - red one has got such a healthy, warm fragrance... white is just not as nice and friendly. And the countryside around, the house and the cantin (does it exists in English?), when the grapes are still being kept to ferment, they just smell so good! When we start producing wine there's that scent all over the place...

kayne	14 May 2002
Ahh!!! Pollux! You are making me want to go pour another glass... Mmmm :P

catlin	14 May 2002
Lilacs, wisteria, newly aquired decks and books and my Benny boy (don't tell me that cats cannot smell sweet. As he often sleeps in the drawer in which I keep my decks, incence and other magic utensils he has taken on this special sweet smell which you cannot describe. You just have to burrow your nose in his pelt to get THAT smell.

Liliana	14 May 2002
Theres a place here i can get Dragon Blood incense sticks for 7 cents each (just recently raised from 5 cents) Unfortuately its almost always sold out lol. It is really good quality stuff too. :THP

Nightwalker	15 May 2002
Definitely Lilac. I have a houseful in the spring when they are blooming. And all my bath products are lilac scented if I can find them. I also like the way the air smells in the Mid-West (Nebraska) right before it rains. There's just something there that gives me good feelings. Nightwalker

Zhritza	15 May 2002
Lavender. And cypress oil. I also love clove oil, but it's too powerful, I need to find a good diluted version that isn't diluted with stupid palm oil and the like...
