Onions in the frying pan.

Magnolia trees when they bloom.

The sanctuary after Deacon Bill has practically fumigated the place with incense.

The area immediately surrounding any funnel cake stand.

New car smell.

New high end electronics when they are plugged in for the first time.

The lake, when boating. Combined with sun-tan lotion.

Beer.

Pizza.

Beer and pizza together (two smells absolutely made for each other)

I used to love the smell of Aussie Shampoo about 20 years ago. Then they changed the scent, and, unrelated, all my hair fell out.

At the risk of sounding like a real wuus, I have to admit lavender is nice. I buy Mrs. Meyer's Lavender Laundry Soap and it's awesome.

Other smells I love:
Fall in the northern states, outside.
Most yankee candles.
Fresh baked chocolate cookies
Clean sheets hung on the clothes line

Some of my favorite smells are:

Olive oil and garlic sautéing
Lavender
Used book stores
Hardware stores
A grill warming up

What are yours???

Clean laundry right out of the dryer
Disneyland (yes, it has a smell)

I knew it.

the Disney Store in malls smells like Disneyland too. They must do the same thing.
