thunderstorm air

<thumbs-up>


I LOVE thunderstorms in the summer; I used to throw on some old clothes and go walking in them when I was younger sometimes.
 
Dammit, how could I forget the smell of the rain?

Greatest smell ever.

Yeah, good smelling women are really great, but I dunno, it gets old. Rain never gets old.

The smell inside my bathroom cabinet at my childhood home. I could jackoff to that smell. :lol

And, oh yeah: Gasoline, new tires, the wind from a car's AC, and Axe Body Spray. :D

My friend bought some perfume called Initial. When she wears it, she's the best smelling person on the planet.

I can't believe so many people are saying gasoline.

What's not to believe? It's one of the best smells in the world.

What I can't believe is that there's been no mention of toxic smells (particularly toxic pens), which for me is almost like a drug. Can't believe the inside of a dry cleaners hasn't been mentioned either...smells so good I could live in one.

Sunday Dinner.


(Chicken/Lamb/Beef Roast with mashed spud, yorkies and stuffing.)


Give this man a medal. Preferably a yorkie pud shaped one.

Also the smell of a clean, freshly made bed.

Lots of recognizable smells already mentioned :). Not mentioned: warm asphalt on a summer's day after it has rained. Salty sea air. Old (wooden) sailing boats. Grass (not weed). Lanvin (French parfume).

I dont' drink coffee very often (very very rarely). But he'll when you walk into a coffee bean shop it's just such an awesome smell.

Newly cut grass, early in the morning in the summer before the dew has evaporated.

Freshly ground coffee, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, cocoa powder, fresh bread, steaks/roasts, dark chocolate, basil, thyme, rosemary, mint, sizzling butter, lime/lemon, mango... food rocks! I always take a sniff before I put something good in my mouth... it tastes better then :)

$50/hour, but no kissing on the lips and colors must be pre-separated
I love the smell of fresh bread, and I suppose good bakeries in general. I too love the smell of gasoline. Often, I will be fueling my car and take nice deep breaths of it. I swear, I wake up in the funniest of places afterwards! This cheap Targets hand soap I'm using now smells ridiculously good and fresh. Wal-mart could never make anything that nice...NEVER!
 
* Woodburning stoves/fireplaces in the winter.
* The air on top of a mountain when you spend all day trying to reach the top.
* Fresh ocean air in the early morning when it's still chilly.
* The smell after a spring rain in the forest.
* Grandma's House when she's baking cookies and such near christmas time.
** The smell of my girlfiends skin.
* Autumn air on a warm day. peak foilage.

I think you're referring to the smell of O3 (Ozone)

The hair of a woman smells so good, especially when she is lying in your arms....aaahhhh

also the smell of spring, after the cold, harsh winter, you'll get out the door one day and smell spring.

Grass after rain.
Gasoline.
Everything new mad from plastic, straight out of the box, untouched.
Fresh bread.
Woman's neck and breasts.
 
A good woman will still smell good the next morning, even if you've been out all night in a smoky bar.

I'm with the Japanese coworkers. Women/Girl's sweat is the most intoxicating smell I've ever encountered. Especially a while after she's showered and then sweat a bit is quite nice. One of the girls I've dated in college would come into my creative writing class right after she'd been to tennis practice. It's no wonder I clamored after her. She'd just gotten a workout and her phermones were running wild.

If I have to narrow the scent origin down a bit, I'd say any time a girl's metabolism raises itself and hormones are produced is when my brain starts to make me think about making the guy-girl legos click. I'd say that most the time I notice the feeling is an exciting emotion and not just lust. I start to wonder if the girl is bright and intelligent and what she may like to do for fun. A friend of mine and I have had this conversation many times, and we have come to the conclusion that we just enjoy being around women most of the time.


To add to my list… I also like the smells of:

new electronics and their packaging, like the styrofoam in my 1987 NES and my Gameboy in 1989

new Tires

new leather

something baking in the oven

toast

really danky dank wafting in a breeze, down to me, on a cold day

chicken soup

the stale smell of books that seems to stay in my nostrils for hours

lavender

green clay

the morning smell of my grandmother's fried eggs when I was a child.

ozone-clean air before rain precipitates.

Dial soap before, after, and during a hot shower.

wet garden dirt in the summer time.
