What smells do you love?? Hate?? I am focusing on non-garden scents, but if you want to include that you can. We did do a thread a couple of years ago on that but we have some new regulars.

Love:

Coffee - both freshly ground beans and 'cooking'.
Gasoline - go figure. Weird, but I do.
Vanilla.
Cinnamon.
Certain women's sweat - sorry, cannot be more specific. It is what it is!
GARLIC!!
Wet soil.
Wet leaves.
The air when it rains.
Ozone after an electric arc. (Remember I am an EE!).
Salt water.


Hate:
Fish.
Lake water.
NYC subway homeless person.
Cat pee.
Spoiled dairy!


Garden-related:

Love: Jasmine, Gardenia, some viburnums(judii, Mohawk, carlesii), most roses, BASIL!!, honeysuckle, mint.

Hate: Some viburnum (dentatum, dilatatum), datura, creeping chameleon (gross!).

Smells that most hate that don't really bother me:
Skunk, petroleum products.


I have many more in all categories, but I just wanna get it started.
