Hello and Happy Sunday!!

What is your fave perfume or fave things such as candle scents, coffee brewing, a roast cooking, etc?

I love Peony Pink and Blush Suede by Jo Malone

coffee brewing

Bath and Body Works 3 wick candles, Flannel, Winter, Sweater Weather

what are some of yours?

 

[Gunther4ever]

The scent of Lilacs that always let me know that summer is on it's way.

Jasmine and to a certain extent roses. If the rose scent is heavy then it reminds me of 'grandmother scent'. I like a light rose scent.

As a general rule, I prefer clean air to scents, especially artificial ones, like burning sticks. But there are notable exceptions.

So, the scent of freshly ground coffee is certainly pleasing, and to preserve this scent in the coffee itself, requires connoisseur methods, like Greek/Turkish coffee, Italian espresso etc. On the other hand, sugar and milk will spoil the fine aroma.

Several foods smell appetizingly, but only while I am hungry., off-putting if I am not.

Finally, when it comes to purrf...oops...perfumes, again, the smell of garden roses beats anything artificial.

 

[Winchester]

The smell of freshly ground coffee doing its thing in the coffee pot
The smell of baking bread permeates through the house
Lilacs in the spring (and around here, in the fall, too! For the last two years, our lilacs have been fall-bloomers as well as spring.)

I like vanilla and orange scents. I don't wear perfume though. It bothers people.

I don't wear perfume though. It bothers people.

Thank you! I'm allergic to certain scents like perfume or cigarette smoke and it can bring on a bad headache/migraine. However, I love the smell walking into a coffee shop or bakery. I also enjoy the smell of puppy breath, it's an acquired scent.

I don't like the smell of perfume. Most of it is too strongh and it stinks. I smoked for 40 years and cigarette does not bother me much. I love puppies breath, baked bread and brewing coffee.

Sandalwood. If it smells like sandalwood, I'm buying it.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I like fruity and food smells the most like berries, coconut, cherry, and vanilla. I'm not a huge fan of floral scents. My weird favorite scent is the ink from those community news brochures and booklets. I know it's super weird, but I also open them up and just smell them for a good 10 seconds.

My weird favorite scent is the ink from those community news brochures and booklets.

When I was in school many years ago copies were made with a mimeograph machine and the ink had a strong very distinctive scent.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

I like the smell of roses, and the lawn after rain, but generally I prefer clean air to distinct scents.

 

[lizzie]

I have to be careful with fragrances because of my allergies,so really all I wear anymore is a vanilla scent.The smell of coffees in general,baking bread,candles...I have one that's apple pie and another that's maple/pumpkin and I adore them,roses and I've always loved that old scent of patchoulli.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

My favorite perfume is one I don't wear. Shalimar was my grandma's signature scent. For years after she went into a nursing home you could still get a whiff of it in the house. I'm not sure if Grandpa was giving it a spritz on occasion or it really just lingered after decades. I really need to buy a little bottle for myself.

On the rare occasion I do wear perfume; I like Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker. I need a new bottle of that too.

My other favorite scents are things like homemade sauce simmering, bread, brownies. And LILACS!!

I do love Scentsy but what scent I am into changes with the season. Right now it's apple/cider type scents.

 

[susanm9006]

I am very sensitive to scents and oils. I do like the scent of peach, blueberry and some mixed berries.

Jasmine and to a certain extent roses. If the rose scent is heavy then it reminds me of 'grandmother scent'. I like a light rose scent.

Nicole hates my fave perfume, Peony Pink and Blush Suede, she said I smell like "an old lady!!
ha!!!

 

[Kat0121]

My favorite perfume is Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan. I love the smell of fresh coffee, bread baking and vanilla.

lizzie I love patchouli too. Sandalwood is also a favorite.

Yes and also we used to get a newspaper in the mail during the summer months called the Weekly Reader that smelled wonderful.

 

[Antonio65]

Freshly cut grass, and all the natural smells in springtime.

 

[nurseangel]

Very Irresistible by Givenchy is my favorite perfume. Evergreen, pineapple, lemon, and pipe tobacco are my favorite scents in general.
