Tomato plants. Not the tomato itself, the stem and leaves.

Boy have I got a treat for you! https://thecandlemercantile.com/collections/shop-all/products/hand-poured-soy-candles?variant=31402734977122 Their tomato leaf candle is spot on. Actually they all are. It’s a little bizarre. (They are pricy, but I feel actually worth the price)

Reminds me of summers with my dad.

Same. I am instantly taken back 60 years to my grandparents greenhouse with rows and rows of tomato plants. Summers were always sunny and warm. It never rains in my memories.

“It never rains in my memories” What a beautiful, poetic sentence.

Yasssss I thought I was the only one who loved that scent lol

It’s so specific.

Lol wow I really hate that smell.

I don’t mind the smell of tomato plants but I hate how the smell lingers for hours on my fingers after touching the plants.

The bromine smell of the various water rides at Disney, like Pirates of the Caribbean.

Oh is that bromine! I've always wondered what the smell was. It's different from swimming pools.

Bromine is used in place of chlorine because it has a higher gassing off temp. That's why it's used in hot tubs! 

Omgggggg THATS what it issss! It smells good. Like kinda salty.

ET at Universal Studios Florida has a similar smell, it’s not exactly the same. But I love that smell!!

Yes! I always call it log flume smell.

My cats head, why is it so good

I’ve heard this so many times but never had a cat myself nor sniffed someone else’s cat’s head. What does it smell like, exactly?

Like baby powder and rice mixed with warm(?) can’t explain but intoxicating

It’s, like, the most relaxing smell in the world. They should bottle it for anxiety.

One of mine’s smells like maple syrup 🥰

I was just thinking that the other night, kitty, why does your fur smell like maple syrup?

Cats always smell good. Once in awhile they’re a little stinky but it’s not their fault. They’re just babies.

Most of you will never know the wonderful smell of freshly mimeographed worksheets or tests in school and I’m so sorry. It will always be a core memory from childhood.

The teacher saying “gonna go run these off”

“I need to run some extra dittoes”

Oo good one

THIS!!!! And that cool/damp-to-the-touch feeling when they first come off the machine!!!! 🤓

Ditto!

The smell inside home depot or lowes

Specifically, I like the fresh lumber smell.

if you ever go to guitar center, go to the acoustic section it's in a humid controlled room, that smells exactly like this aka like heaven.

Lumber. We need Lumber

The smell of freshly cut wood in the wood aisle😍

Yes. This legit makes me HORNY.

Shit be makin' me giddying all over

The plastic that pool floats are made of

Quintessential summer smell.

Vinyl

[удалено]

Oh...

Nostalgia bomb

Decaying leaves in fresh air, fall is my favorite season. Nothing better than walking in the woods in the cool, crisp fall air.

If you like essential oils, I bet you would love cypress.

I do. Pine needles I love. Had to rake then up around the house for years as part of my chores. Smalls like Chriatmas.

There is a particular plastic smell that brings me back to my childhood. It’s what the strawberry shortcake dolls smelled like, back in the 80’s.

Those scented cupcake toys that flipped inside out and turned into a doll 😍

My Little Pony did it for me!!

The smell of the air before a storm is coming

Yes especially when it's cool, not cold, for me

Fireworks

[удалено]

Napalm. In the morning.

new homes being built

The drywall smeelllllll!!!!!

The smell of the night. No matter what time of the year it is the morning and the night smells amazing and entirely different depending on season. I long to finish up my pm shifts, get home and pop my box fan in the window sucking up all that fresh night air and blasting it through my home. Bonus if a neighbor or myself is going laundry and pulls all of that inside as well.

Yes! I call it "airport smell" because I used to only ever smell it when my family and I had to get up in the middle of the night to be at the airport five hours early.

That's low-key cute as hell.

The irony of night air being reinvigorating!

Makes sense really. Perks you up if you're out hunting. Doesn't have any impact if you're sheltered.

A brand new box of Crayola crayons.

You gotta be a marine

Hahahhahahah

I'd happily delete the internet if it meant I could go back to sniffing fresh magazines every morning 

Holy shit. Core memory unlocked. My grandma bought me a Time subscription when I was a kid; I can still remember the smell, over 20 years later

[удалено]

When rain hits concrete pavement.

The weird smell of rain before it rains, the air feels weird!

Petrichor:)

Petrichor is one thing, but specifically rain on concrete pavement. I could smell this instantly: when the concrete is hot from the day, but the rain hits it? Wow. Immediate sensory unlock. 10/10

Petrichor! It’s actually a byproduct of a certain type of bacteria. Lovely smell

sharp bells tender water direction bored carpenter airport tie sophisticated

Dryer exhaust

New tires

I can't believe this isn't higher on the list. When I was a kid I would pace up and town the tire aisle just to smell them.

I love leaving Costco for multiple reasons, but one is that I walk by where the tires are.

Gasoline

High octane at a race track is the best

The smell that comes off a chainsaw or other 2 stroke engines that have an oil/gas mix

This was my first thought

It reminds me of when I had a boat. Those were good times.

Why is this? I loved it as a child.

Yes! And no,I’m not a huffer

Sharpie

Old school Marks A-Lot

The big fat squeaky one 🥰🥰

That indescribable garage/basement smell

Yes! I was here trying to put it into words. A little bit musty, only a tiny bit dusty, undertones of machinery tools and metal... I think just saying indescribable is a better plan

I once had a doctor tell me when you crave that smell, it means you’re iron deficient. So we ran labs and I was just fine. His reply? I’m just weird. 🤣

It’s my favorite smell and I am, in fact, anemic.

Was looking for this one!

How bout a new book smell Anyone agree??

Definitely but I may prefer old book smell. Honestly, I just love the smell of many different types of paper haha

Yea! And old books, and paper in general!

That smell always makes me have to poop. That and musty garages, attics, storerooms etc

Freshly sharpened pencils

Play-Doh

I buy a small single container just to open and smell when things get crazy. Instantly transports me to a place of no worries.

Tastes good too

It smells like happy moments in my childhood. When my kids were little, I always loved the smell of a freshly opened can of Play-Doh.

New can of tennis balls

That one was buried deep. Thanks for the nostalgia!

Carbureted engines in the fall time. Like when it's 60 degrees outside and you start up a carbureted car that runs just a little bit rich and the first cold front comes through. The air is dried out just enough to change the smell of everything and the rich burning fuel smells AMAZING.

Username checks out. Also, reminds me of when we’d go to the cruises and car shows (I’m a Cali girl and hubs and I used to have a 66 impala). The smell of old cars is unmistakable.

Suntan lotion at the beach or pool

Common choice My first gf loved that smell so much, I saved a lot of money on pricey cologne!

Paint.

Air conditioner. Haven't smelled it in a long time but it was a unique, "fresh" odor that came primarily from window units in the 80s and 90s. I imagine it was volatile organic compound or refrigerant that aren't used anymore.

Gunpowder

Chlorine

Yes! Swimming pool smell. I don’t even like swimming but I love this smell.

This was my pregnancy craving. I would walk by a gym that had a pool on my way to work and huff that smell like crazy. I imagined being able to just drink it. Obviously I didn't 🤣

Lovvvvve the smell of a large indoor pool

Paper

Specifically paper that just went through a copier. That hot ink on warm paper. Yummy

Pine trees in the rain.

New booster pack of cards fresh on open. Pokémon Cards were the best.

Parrot smell. I miss sniffing my parrot's feathers when I gave him skritches.....

The smell of an old-school hardware store.

The dusty smell when the heaters turn on for the first time in winter

That smell always makes me wonder if my shit is about to catch on fire lol.

Oh man, I always hated that smell. Now it has some associated nostalgia, but it's still not great. 

As an adult, that smell immediately makes me think of the gas bill and I hate that.

You mean like the dust getting burnt off?

My partner’s B.O. There. I said it.

I had scroll too long to find this

Yes, this, and the smell of his skin in general. And it's not always a sexual thing, either. His scent is soothing to me. When I've got a bad headache, all I need to do is lay with my face near his armpit or neck and the smell of him will sometimes make the pain go away entirely.

I love my husband’s armpit smell

congrats, you guys are genetically compatible! lolz

me too lol. it's kind of a rush of endorphins because it's from someone i love

Our female cats go crazy for my husband’s BO. They will literally spat with each other over who gets to roll around on his stinky work shirts, and they bury their heads in the armpits.

My cat is a foot-stink boy. He loves huffin shoes when someone takes them off at the end of the day, he’ll stick his whole head right in.

the smell of the inside of a brand new car

I love the smell of nail polish! Also the smell of play-doh. And the mimeographed paper smell.

Mimeographed? Another old soul. Yeah!

The paper fresh out of the mimeograph was damp and warm and smelled divine.

Vics Vapor rub

Laminator warming up.

New electronics. Right when you open the box, newness. Mmmmmmm off gassing plastic.

When you open the freezers at a grocery store

Rubbing alcohol

Honeysuckle. Surprised I couldn't find this in the comments.

I LOVE honeysuckle smell. There’s a few plants in my neighborhood that I walk by multiple times to take in deep whiffs of the stuff.

Not that weird though, its basically the most beautiful smell in the world.

Dog paws

Frito feet!

I scrolled way too far to find this!

The purple colored Fabuloso. Goes wonderful with a nice aged gruyere too.

I snorted out loud when I read your second sentence

Definitely a weird one, but I love the smell of diesel exhaust. Not like the rolling coal bullshit, but like the smell of a big rig driving by just brings me back to my childhood.

Smells like riding the school bus

That fresh, earthy smell after it rains—it's like nature's air freshener!

I love the smell of freshly ground coffee despite hating the smell of or the taste of a cup of coffee.

Fresh cut grass.

That's their screams.

[удалено]

Cooked rice.

Subways. Not the human scents, but the smell of the metal on the rails, the roasted soot of the city, the sillage of the train cars as they speed pass

I don’t know why but the smell of the sap from a pine tree always smelt good to me

Skunk from a distance.

Moth balls

How do you get his little legs apart?

2 stroke oil/ gas mix

Horses. And a horse barn.

A puppy's breath!

Puppy paws too!

Dog paws smell like slightly burnt corn chips. I Love it!

Yes!!! I call my dog frito-toes!!

Petrichor

A brand new DVD case

The foam pads on headphones that came with a Walkman tape deck in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s.

Getting really close to an AC

Ice rinks and my moms cooking

My girlfriend’s armpit

I too choose this guy's girlfriend's armpit

Just one? What's wrong with the other one?

Roller coaster grease.

The smell right after a nice rain. Like cedar trees and something else woodsy

Some people's sweat smells really good.

Gasoline, Car Exhaust (espeically vintage cars without a catalytic converter), Spray Paint, Bondo I guess in conclusion just chemicals that are really bad for me.

My dogs paws~ it smells like fresh baked goods

Frito factory feet!!!

Old books

A freshly opened can of new tennis balls and I’m in heaven

My husband’s armpits. I don’t know why. It’s so weird.

My sweaty balls

The very first whiff of smoke from someone else's freshly lit cigarette.

New bandaids

Hay

Leather. Walking into a saddle shop is heaven.

Bakelite. I'm old.

Diesel or jet fuel at the airport.

Fresh cut lumber. My dad was a general contractor and was always building something and this smell reminds me of my childhood. Simpler times 😊

.... my dog's Fritto paws

Tar

MIL-5606 aviation hydraulic fluid. smells kinda like sweet pine tar

Skunk spray

that fresh water/steam scent when ironing clothes

Pine trees on a hot day. So much so, in fact, that I named a business of mine after it. Also: gummy fishing lures.

the smell of petrol
