Administrators Eric Posted June 14, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted June 14, 2019 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted June 14, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted June 14, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWARREN123 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 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! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted June 14, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted June 14, 2019 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud0505 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 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! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrB Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I also remember the caster oil and nitro fuel smell we used in our Cox .049 engines for our fly by line planes. Dave.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no desire to start smoking again, but that smell gets to me. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no desire to start smoking again, but that smell gets to me. 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...... Dave.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rellik Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Cracking open a fresh can of coffee. Opening a fresh pack of cigarettes. After that, neither one supplies the taste the fresh aroma promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
