Strange things you like the smell of...

[a kind of magic]

Hmm...the smell of horse, the smell of cats as well, I love to give them a big sniff! Our foal born this year, I loved the smell of him just after mum had cleaned him off...he smelt like a baby. I love the smell of cornucresine (sp?) lovely stuff that is!

Also love the smell of new leather, new cars, whiteboard pens, petrol and the smell of proper coffee brewing.

Petrol
Nail varnish
The smoke when you just blow a match out!
Bonfires and fresh cut grass, both of them remind me of my Dad.
Horses in general, but especially on really cold winters evenings when you can see your breath in the air, and you can go into the stable to give them a hug, slide your arms inside their rugs and rest your head on their neck. That's a little bit of heaven right there.

The smoke when you just blow a match out!

I love that too!

Aswell as Stockholm tar, petrol, the interior of old cars, horses' breath, TCP and Germoline!

Good coffee brewing, my puppies, tarmac and hoof oil, petrol, leather, steaming muck heaps, warm bread, cigars, and BBQ's on a summer evening.

[Ibblebibble]

diesel, which is a good job as i spilt some on my hand this morning! my grandads shed... it's a funny musty oily smell but it's comforting and familiar And slighty burnt fruit cake tastes good as well

 

[Merrymoles]

I was at a forge yesterday with a non-horsey chap who couldn't stand the smell of hot shoeing. He thought I was very strange when I said I loved it! It's one of those smells that means something different when you associate it with something you love (bit like the smell of horse and puppy generally).
However, I love the smell of two-stroke petrol too! Probably my misspent youth.

 

[leah_x]

Petrol, candles when you blow them out, creosote, and vicks vapor rub!!!!

horsey smell - mane and tail conditioner, riders magic tail lotion, shavings.

When my daughter was first born up until she was a few months old I couldn't stop smelling her, it was like a drug and I could never get enough.

new born puppies, they smell just like human babies.

I worked with dogs when I was young, and I remember the smell of new-born puppies. That smell is quickly lost to the smells of wee and their mother's licking, but I loved that new-born smell.

I hadn't smelled it for years, until my daughter was born. I don't know why it surprised me that she smelled the same as a new-born puppy! I guess it's the amniotic fluid?

So yes, I sat there in the hospital, sniffing her head. I'm sure it helped the bonding.
