not to be sniffed at...

Nose had a real treat this morning on journey to work.... bluebells, then lily of the valley then lilac freshly cut grass and the smell of baking as I went past sainsbury's Fresh coffee and strawberries..

what smells do you enjoy...

Also love, Jasmine, Stephanotis, Gardenia, Roses and lavender can't wait for summer

Wisteria? is that the big long dangly purple stuff that hangs off the side of walls, buildings? I like this stuff - whatever it's called.

My property is walled all the way around and the walls are covered in Jasmine. It smells gorgeous, especially when it's been raining, but it's probably what's caused my dreadful hayfever lately. My bougainvilla looks gorgeous but doesn't really smell.

I also love the smell of freshly mown grass, freshly baked bread, fresh herbs, champagne, curry, Zara's Orange Blossom range, and anything by Jo Malone.

NoM how can you bear to leave it the smell must be wonderful

I love my Jo Malone candles...the smell of a freshly bathed baby...freshly mown grass, fresh coffee, bacon/bread/fried onions cooking...fresh salad, the peach roses in my garden. Talking of smells....I can invite 6 people to a BBQ - and once it's lit, it seems that smoke signals all the other neighbours in the cul-de-sac to 'I've just popped round to' etc....and we end up feeding the whole grove!

I forgot the weirder things... Tarmac, the smell of coal fires (takes me right back) and beeswax furniture polish

[merciasounds]

It's lemon soap and lavender air freshner that takes me back to visits to a maiden aunt as a child
