His unlaundered shirt that I'm going to take a nap snuggled next to. He's only the second man ever to hit me perfectly with the pheromones in his skin. You ever just breath in someone's scent and feel instantly "at peace, lusty, and just.... home" all at once? Thank goodness he loves me back.
I miss you again. Two more long days. :cry:

Isn't it true that if you don't have a sense of smell you can't taste anything, either?
I once knew somebody who had that condition.

40. The smell of a fire in the winter. |

I love the smell of a fire in the winter. That's probably my favorite smell.
Other good ones include vanilla, apple-cinnamon scented candles, outside after a good rain, the smell of most baked goods (while being baked, of course), fresh-brewed coffee, definitely cedar, and the smell of a Thanksgiving dinner as it's being made.
There's others, but I don't want to have to type all day. :)

Don't like either smell in a perfume, but the smell of a Pennsylvania woods in June, thick with honeysuckle is amazing
And the smell of Venice in June after sunset isn't sewerage or fish or whatever else I've heard summer in Venice described as, but it's an overwhelming smell of Jasmine.
