just filled up an old hot water bottle for the missis. there's something about that smell, it reminds me of my childhood, cold winters in our old house with no central heating, a bed covered in blankets, many of them itchy, being really warm and sleeping the safe worry free slumber of an innocent child.
takes me right back that!
Lets get this straight...............you like the smell of hot rubber?????????????????????????????? 😉
Smell of bonfires really works for me, as does when you can smell the fire when walking past an old cottage.
similarly reminds me of childhood but more out of the necessity of needing a hot water bottle so as not to die of hypothermia in the hay loft conversion bedroom of our 400 year old farm house.
by eck t'were cold back then
Petrol mmmmmmmmmmm
Two stroke oil.
Reminds me of motorbikes in my younger days.
fresh bread
Creosote, the best smell in the world, followed by freshly cut wood.
burning heather or burning corn stubble
two different episodes of my childhood but both equally evocative
my watch strap.....it stinks, but in a nice way 😕
Newspaper on a dark windy winter morning, very much reminds me of my childhood paper round
a freshly opened bag of raindow drops.
The smell from an empty purple canister of mini eggs. MMMMM...
Ziggy if you like creosote I dare you to ride along the A48 docks road in Newport of an evening past Monmouthshire Timber Supplies. It's so strong it's actually made me feel woozy - my lungs and throat tighten up and my eyes stream.
On the subject of pungent smells, the Mrs bought me a lemon tree in a pot the other day. Now the flowers have come out I have discovered that they don't smell lemon at all they smell of cheap vinyl, it's nasty.
Hot tar when the council are mending the roads.
Always reminds me of when I was a kid. Not sure why.
diesel fumes on a cold, frosty morning...straight back to ski resorts of my youth in an instant.
the inside of my dad's 70's cocktail cabinet...musty wood and alcohol fumes...lovely memories of nicking tots of whishee!
proper, not skunk, quality weed in a plastic bag...the smell of summer and the malverns 😉
ah yes the sweet smell of pollen rich resin
a smell lost to this world I fear 😥
Playdoh.
youngs 303 oil. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Bacon frying. Smelt some on my commute home the other day, considered stopping and begging!
OOoh yeah, playdoh smells ace. All almondish. I liked it so much that I ate a tubfull at my Gran's house. Took quite a bit to poke the bits down the plughole when I puked it right back up.
I used to live in a flat above a launderette and next to a bakery...
Hmmmmm... washing and bread.
Castrol R - used at speedway meetings....wonderful stuff.
a babys head, don't know why but they smell great 😐
Barbeque, can smell one from miles away, direction connection to my saliva glands.
Pedo 😉
I'd go with bacon frying or the smell of a good chip shop or a sunday roast.
my middle finger
Quite a few,
Mrs NBIF or my daughters hair after coming in from the cold.
Brewery.
That first cold, clear, sunny day after the worst of the winter is gone, and (this is the strange bit) I walk out of my front door and all I can smell is sillage from the farmers fields nearby. Brilliant.
Cut grass. Summer term at school, start of the cricket season. Summers don't seem as hot these days.
An alpine farmyard when it's -15 degrees. Muck, straw and frozen nostrils.
Woodsmoke.
A cat that has been outdoors.
Wet roads after a long dry spell.
neoprene wetsuit
gt85
surf wax- the stuff i have smels a bit like refreshers
and camel/marlboro cigarette smoke but only when outside in france.
Open a pack of Post-It Notes. Hold it up to your nose and flick the pages of the pad.
Lovely. 🙂
Smell of the road in the summer after it has been dry for ages but just rained
The smeel just as it starts to rain in summer.
Cut pine
Wood fires
Butyl acetate
mmm Castrol R..

Peat smoke, whisky, cigars, bracken, snow..
Sausage rolls fresh out of the oven
Clean bedsheets, that have been dried outside on the line
That first cold, clear, sunny day after the worst of the winter is gone
I know what you mean, but sometimes I smell spring.... It's odd....more of a feeling than a smell, but it's when the air smells fresh and new, and the breeze feels a bit warm, rather than a bit cold...

Quote from "My Beautiful Launderette" - hot buttered toast next to an open fire, and ****y fingers"
Hot buttered white bread toast and the smell of a freshly made espresso.
Cut grass or wood smoke do it for me.
