RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Halls cough drops remind me of my grandfather, specifically the cherry ones.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 2 months ago

That's really sweet

[–] AlpacaChariot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Bit of a weird one, but... freshly peeled parsnips

I could take them or leave them when it comes to eating, but they smell great. Maybe it's a memory from childhood or something!

Sun bathed skin, forests(both the humid ones and the dry herby ones), baked bread, lily of the valley flowers, and many other flowers.

Ocean pine forest on warm summer days when walking to the sea side/beach.

Fresh bread just out of the oven

That crisp smell of cold fall days, just shy of frost.

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 3 points 2 months ago

Stinky dogs.

They smell like friendship

The first time you fire up a brand new toaster creates this incredible smell that I've only experienced like 3 times in my life.

Allll of my partner. Mmmmm.

[–] rapist1@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Cooking bell peppers on a frying pan. Add onions and it's even better.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Coming into the house when it is very cold and snowy outside and smelling bread baking in the oven.

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

Lots of nice smells, but I'll just list a stranger one I like. Dry hay.

[–] classic@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

My sneezes (when I'm not sick)

[–] loaf@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

A fresh bag of weed, especially ones that are high in limonene.

Wet concrete. Diesel. I think coffee smells way better than it tastes (unlike the other two).

Edit: the top of my cats head

Freshly harvested cannabis is my favorite smell, far and away

vinegar, just can’t get enough of it
