What Is Your Favorite Smell?

Omackeral

Perfumes and aftershaves aside, what's your favorite smell?

I live roughly a mile away from a Johnston Mooney and O'Brien bread factory. On some evenings I can get a really pleasant smell of toast wafting through the air, it's fantastic.

My favorite childhood smell would have to be sawdust on a butchers floor, I dont know if that's still around these days though. So what say you? What are some of your favorite smells?

I like that smell too, but OH hates it. Until the Players factory got down my area smelled of either tobacco or brewing, depending on the way the wind was blowing. 'Twas lovely.
