Thumbs up Re: what smells do you love?

The smell of the African air. You smell it as soon as you step off the airplane. The difference in the African sun can be felt as well. It's a magical place.

I like to mix herbal extracts together. I am not too big on essential oils. I like it in watery form and I like a complex, herbal, medicinal smell.

I try to mix at least 12 ones to get a really complex scent.

When I was a kid, my mom smelled like Jovan Musk, Dentyne gum and cigarettes. I loved to bury my face in her neck and just smell her. Thank god she's quit smoking now. I'm 39 years old and I still love to smell my mom. It feels like home. I hope my kids like my "smell".

I love the smell of leaves in the fall. I love the crisp smell outside when a fresh snow has fallen. I love the smell of my dog, especially when she was a pup. I like the "new car smell" when I get a new car. I like the smell of my daughter's freshly washed hair. I like the smell of anything cooking that I am hungry for.
