Best Smells on Earth

[Eric]

I love the smell of a really hot firearm. The smells of the hot metal, baking lubricants and traces of cleaners, the gunpowder and carbon and all the other hot materials. They all combine into a very unique, and to me, pleasant scent.

When you go through one of those automatic car washes that spray the pink, blue and yellow bands of foam on your car, there is a smell that is a bit tropical and a bit like bubblegum. I love that smell.

Smell of a country meal cooking, smell of a farm, smell of small arms fire when you are winning, the smell of a lovely young lady fresh from the shower.

Smell of a new born, smell of a fall day while out hunting or fishing.

So many good smells in my memories!

The smell of a wooden kitchen match being lit.

I smoked for fifteen years and I stopped twenty-two years or so ago. Even now though, I will occasionally walk by someone with a lit cigarette and it smells unbearably good. Not always. Sometimes a lit cigarette smells better for some reason. I have no desire to start smoking again, but that smell gets to me.

The smell of new car ...

Nah...  I love the smell of Diesel also. Normal to me.

A lot of my favorites already listed. I'll add:

Jet A. Basically kerosene. Just smells like power.

Electric train sets and slot cars have a distinctive electric motor smell. Reminds me of my childhood.

Buttered popcorn, from a movie theater.

Cedar closets.

I love the smell of cedar and I love that bugs don't.

I forgot about that.  I remember my trains.....I used to race 1/32 and 1/24 scale slot cars at the slot shop. Thanks...

Sheets, pillowcases and towels that have been hung out in the sun to dry.

A hot iron on freshly sprinkled clothes. My grandmother ironed my underware ya’ll!

That must have hurt like hell!

I also remember the caster oil and nitro fuel smell we used in our Cox .049 engines for our fly by line planes.

Not as much as the starched blue jeans,

Me too.  When I stopped, I sat in the smoking section at work during breaks.  I figured if I couldn't take the smell I hadn't really stopped.  Now I like the smell as long as it's not so thick that it's hard to see, but I have no desire to smoke again.

I quit also many years ago.  In the spring the smell of cigarette smoke outside still is enticing. Like having the devil on one shoulder saying "Come on have a puff, what will it hurt,, smell these nice Cuban Cigarettes".. and the Angel on the other shoulder saying "You quit for 40 years, don't start again".  The Angel wins......

Horses have a good smell. Dogs have a good natural smell when they're clean.

Baking bread, not just the dough.

1-2-3 Oil. (Oops! I meant 3 in 1 Oil).

An all-cotton Oxford cloth shirt, fresh out of the dryer.

I wondered if that's what you meant.  While I was growing up that's the oil used for everything from my gun cleaning to my mother's sewing machine.

And the smell of a good cigar, not those cheap white owls, outside of the house of course ...

[Rellik]

Cracking open a fresh can of coffee.  

Opening a fresh pack of cigarettes.  

After that, neither one supplies the taste the fresh aroma promises.

Cedar.

I love the smell of Jambog. 

[Walt Longmire]

Polyglas tires doing a burn out.

[Walt Longmire]

Race fuel.

 

[Walt Longmire]

A smokehouse smoking salmon.

 

[Walt Longmire]

Diesel and dust.
