Mine is lilacs, because there was a lilac bush at the bus stop that I used to wait at with my mom when I was a kid, it was my school bus stop and the public bus stop so we spent a lot of time on that corner and now when I smell lilacs I just immediately feel like a kid again.
My wife’s soap.
Every time she comes out of the shower I want to pounce on her. I often grab her while sitting for a hug and plant my face in her tummy. Getting a good whiff.
Oddly enough she uses fragrance free soap so maybe it’s just her natural scent. Haha.
That means you liiiike her
That’s a really nice memory. I also remember how the bushes would smell from when I was a kid in the garden.
Now my favourite smell is my wife, and I bet some of yours will now also be, “this guys wife”.
I also choose this guys wife
Onions and garlic simmering in olive oil.
Smells like the start of something delicious.
My dog’s feet. They smell like corn chips.
It’s a combination of Pseudomonas bacteria and yeasts. Obviously totally normal, but I agree. It’s a great smell.
Rain. Or, rather, the sweet earthy smell of wet moss or grass and decomposition and the rest of it that is far beyond any human descriptions and impossible to even approach with words 🥹
Combined with the sound, it’s the most divine state a world can exist in, period.
Petrichor?
Not sure if the smell of autumn’s decomposing has a distinct word though.
A core memory unlock scent for me is any time I smell honeysuckle. We had some where I grew up, and it just instantly takes me back.
Others are a spray from Lush called sleepy time. It’s Lavender and Tonka, and it is the most calming scent I’ve ever been around.
Dark chocolate. Good roasted coffee. Wife’s body spray Tea and Bergamont from bath and bodyworks.My weird ones are lumber and gasoline
That rain smell, I remember being happy when my mom allowed me to play in the rain.
True story: Last night I stood out in the rain in my backyard and I laughed as hard as I could. I really don’t know what came over me, I have always loved to stand out in the rain, but I never just let loose that kind of joy before. I mean I just stood with my head to the sky and laughed with my whole body and every fiber of my being. Then I came in, changed, and slept like a baby.
My stuffed animals after I’ve been snuggling with them for a while. They smell like love to me. Probably smell like weird BO to others, but they don’t to me.

Orange blossoms. Everything “Orange blossom” scented just smells like perfumey oranges, nothing like actual orange blossoms. You can only smell them on the tree, this time of year.
go to spain, they have Fête du Citron - the fragrances overload the brain
New life goal!
Or school petrol stations when we still used leaded fuel right??? Modern petrol ain’t shit by comparison, smell wise that is
A dog’s natural scent. I just love dogs and cuddling with dogs.
