What's your favorite scent?

[Mandzanita]

This is a two part question :)

1) What's your favorite perfume/spray/lotion that you like to wear or that you just like to smell (could be one for your guy!)

My favorite scent as of yet is called Miss Marissa, it's a scented oil and it smells like peaches and fresh laundry! Yummm Of course I love alot of other scents but that's the one I wear the most. I'm also looking to get a new one from Ralph Lauren called HOT. It's so yummy, it almost smells hot!

On guys I love Burberry :)

2) What smells do you like out there in the world? Don't be afraid to list weird one!

I love the smell of:
Asphalt after the first rain
Video Stores (like Blockbuster)- I have no idea why, lol, I just do.
Vanilla
Citronella Fly Spray
Jasmine

Those are just a few...

[Pinky]

1) Lynx :D When mixed with a smokey smell I just love it!

2) The smell of a petrol station
Post Office smell! (Don't even ask ;))
New leather
Neatsfoot Oil :p
Tea Tree Oil
and the smell of PC World! (can ya tell I'm a total nerd? :D)

[Equine_Woman]

I don't really wear anything. . .I like the smell of orange scented lotions. . and there is this stuff I bought at the Hyatt Hill Country Spa and Resort that is a room spray and I love it to death!! It's a citrusy smell with grapefruit and it's wonderful.

My favorite smell of all time is the smell of night, when it starts getting cooler and you can smell the earth and the trees and sometimes something sweet. . .I used to smell it everyday when I was working as a breeding assistant. I had to put the mares back in their pasture and it was often dark outside (around 10:00 at night) and it would just be me and Shorty (the only gelding in the operation) putting all the mares and foals back into their respective pastures. We had to ride about a mile to get everyone settled and I loved every minute of it!

I also love the smell of the Marigold horse spray. It's one of those natural fly sprays and it smells WONDERFUL!! It's expensive but I use it when we are going places, like to the vet, or the farrier is coming. . .lol. Anywhere I"ll be around the horses for a while! The vet calls it their "perfume" because they always smell so good when they come. Lol.

[cloedoll]

Horse sweat, horses in general, hay, grain, Abercrombie & Fitch's perfume Classic, Hollister's perfume Malia, cookies in the oven, rain, the outdoors - I have more, lemme think, lol.

[sugarsgirl]

hmmm I like a lot of different smells:

-my dad's cologne-Derek Jeter's Driven
-Britney Spears' Midnight fantasy perfume
-vanilla
-country kitchen candles
-fresh cookies from the oven
-new leather
-Dawn apple blossom scent dish soap
-really early in the morning when everything is fresh
-the barn, and anything else to do with horses
-Christmas cookie hand scrub

Thats about all I can think of off the top of my head.

[TheBadLands]

1) Sensual Amber (bath and body works) Cherry blossom comes in a close second

2) Stables on a cold morning, my shampoo, hamster shavings, gasoline

[Mandzanita]

OOOhhh I love Sensual Amber too!!

[ownedby7horses]

Favourite smells....
1) the smell of the barn. there is something so soothing to me in that scent, especially after a bad day.
2) coconut hand lotion, body spray, shampoo....anything!
3) the smell after it rains
4) fresh cut grass or hay
5) anything horsey....sweaty horse, fresh outta the bath horsey, dirty horsey...you get the idea!

[cloedoll]

2) Stables on a cold morning

YES, that's a great one.

[Ranger44]

Can a guy play this game?

I agree with after a fresh rain. As far as everyday scents my favorite is "unscented." My nose is very sensitive to most perfumes (drives my wife nuts). Anything flowery smelling makes me react like an allergy. Perfumes or colognes that are more musk like can be pretty good. Did I mention that I am a guy? LOL

[Tatesgram]

Let's see;

babies
leather
fresh cut wood
puppy breath
cinnamon
cookies right out of the oven
fresh turned earth
horses

to name a few :p

[TheBadLands]

;)

YES, that's a great one.

Isnt it? I miss it :(

I know a lot of men who hate the flowery smells...weirdos :p

[Diane of Buck's Hollow]

My favorite perfume spray/cologne is "Tabu". Don't laugh..it really smells good on me. And guess what...SM gave me my first bottle when I was 15 yrs old.

I love scented lotions...grapefruits, coconuts, almond.....

My favorite smell is....Horse......

I love how it smells:

After it rains

When grass/hay is cut

Babies and especially their blankets.

My husband...anytime;)

Leather

When I am driving in my car on the way out someplace other than the barn...and I get a whif of my horse...That is to die for!!! Always makes me smile.

Oranges

[Gypsy Rose]

I'm allergic to too many chemicals, so perfume for me is out!

I love the scent of vanilla, though. In hand creams, shampoos, etc.

Fresh spring morning
Fresh cut hay
Rolls baking
Clean leather
Citronella
Horsey smells, of course!

[Remali]

I haven't bought it in years, but it's still my favorite.... Magie Noir by Lancome.

Anything horses (even poo!)
Fresh cut grass
Laundry that was hung out on the line to dry *THE BEST*

The smell of fall.. cool foggy mornings with falling leaves (it has a smell, I swear)

Diane: That's so cute that SM bought you your first bottle of Tabu so long ago!

[Horseaholic]

[Mandzanita]

Isn't it funny how scents smell different on different people? It frustrates me though because I'll absolutely LOVE a scent on someone and then go out and buy it and it smells nasty on me....grrr.

Oh I forgot, I love Puppy breath too!!! Oh my nose was in my dogs mouth everyday when she was a wittle. So preciously skunky :)

[sugarsgirl]

Ooo I also love the smell of Cinnabon!
Like when you're walking through the food court at a mall, and all you smell is grease, but then you walk past a Cinnabon and all you smell is the cinnamony goodness of it. mmmmmm!

[cloedoll]

Isnt it? I miss it :(

Awe :( :(

[AppyLover]

I wear chanel coco and my hubby wears no bounderies. hmmmm good.


And out in the would I love burned wood, horses, snap dragon and lilly flowers, rain, leather, and who doesn't enjoy that "new" car smell? ;)

All I know is if you made me work there you might have to pump my stomache within the first hour!! LOL That place smells just like my heaven will :):)

[cloedoll]

Oh, I forgot, horse breath...odd, but I think it smells nice.

[vicklynn]

I like Vanilla Fields perfume
My husbands Stetson

horses
freshly cleaned or new leather
vanilla or cinnamon candles or spray
Frebreeze
Orange spray in a vehicle
My dogs, 2 days after a bath

[carla]

I wear Pink (thanks, Diane!) and sometimes Happy. I love the smell of Tommy Girl (old school? lol) but I don't really like to wear it that much. It's a little bold/musky for me.

And aside from horses/barns/the other obvious ones:

(this was a mistake for me to see this thread; I'm a smell/memory-link freak!)

I love the smell of land being cleared, especially after it rains. That fresh cut tree/dirt/wormy smell.. reminds me of when my grandparents had the land cleared for my pasture- I thought I was dreaming!

I LOVE the smell of fresh sawdust when someone's sawing lumber.

I love the smell of my outdoor cat, on the sides of his neck just below his ears. When I was a little girl, I had a tomcat named Bandit and I can remember burying my face in his neck there and he smelled the exact same way.

I love the smell of a bonfire/brush fire in fall.

I love the smell of SSS. I really don't like the too-sweet smell in itself, but I used tons of it on my horse when I got him (I was 12) and it will forever remind me of that time. :)

Can I do one more? I love the smell of a puppy's breath. My grandmother loves that smell and so it reminds me of her.

Okay I'm stopping!

[Harleys Owner]

LOL....speaking of scents. I'm sitting here in my office and can see out into the street, and I just saw a skunk run across and go behind the building...yikes. My building is next door to a restaurant and the owner of it told me that they have had trouble with a skunk hanging around their dumpster. I went over there and warned them because it's closing time and they take the trash out for the night. I don't think the trash is going out tonight:)

Funny that I saw this thread right at this time:)

[Sundays Man]

My favorite is good ole Hoppes #9. Makes me want to go a cortin and a sparkin.

[WashingtonBay]

FUNNY! Sunday's Man I was about to say Hoppes :D I swear!

[ownedby7horses]

The smell of puppy breath is another favourite of mine. I will admit, I refrained from saying that one because too often people are like "you like the smell of puppy breath? You're sick!" So, I don't tell anyone that anymore, but since some of you guys said it, it'll be alright for me to come clean about that one too!

[Sundays Man]

Oh yeah Carla. I love the smell of fresh turned earth and tree roots all mixed together too, and the smell of a fresh rain, just as it's starting, and my favorite of all is the fragrance my wife wears "TABU" LOVE IT!!!

[Sundays Man]

FUNNY! Sunday's Man I was about to say Hoppes :D I swear!

Yeah, makes me want to go and clean ALL my guns.:)

[Diane of Buck's Hollow]

Oh, I forgot, horse breath...odd, but I think it smells nice.


Me too Cloe!!!:)

Also. Have we all forgotten about the smell of a can of coffee when you first open it? mmmmmmm

or waking up on a cold morning to Coffee brewing?

[Diane of Buck's Hollow]

My favorite is good ole Hoppes #9. Makes me want to go a cortin and a sparkin.

Huh? You do?

[carla]

Ooh, yeah Diane! COFFEE!!! :D

*the smell of a leather saddle, baseball glove, etc.
*vanilla
*raspberry body spray
*the smell of Holister clothing (even though I only own like two or three things from Holister that my aunt bought for me, because it is WAY too expensive and I cannot afford it)
*baby goats and puppies. I don't know what it is but they have a different, innocent kind of scent, and once they reach a certain age it just fades away
*rain
*fresh cut grass
*Christmas- the scented candles, all the baking, the Christmas tree, all of it. :)
*my dog after a bath (the kind of shampoo I use for her smells really good!:D)

[carla]

Ooh- got another one! Scotch tape.. reminds me of Christmas.

Oh, and the JC Penny Wishbook catalog- not sure if they even do that anymore, but when my mom would get it in the mail the first thing I would do is close my eyes and flip through the pages to smell it. (gosh I was a weird child)

ANNND I love the smell of children's section library books.

Wow, I'm right there with ya. I love the smell of Libraries in general but the Kid section has a different twist to it. I used to sit in front of the "horse section" and read ALL the books they had. I still remember the pictures so vividly. Wish I could remember some of the titles.

My own brew body cream (cheapest creme poss with added almond oil and 4 drops of Lemon Essential oil and 3 drops of Lavender Essential oil)

as for other smells I have such a sinus infection I couldnt smell a skunk if he was sharing my shirt

[LittleRedMare]

I don't wear scents because they hurt my nose, but my hands down favourite smell in the world is my horse. I just love to bury my nose in her fur. I also love the smell of my cats, of snow, of lemon and the smell of barn-coveralls combined with molasses- it smells just the way my great-uncle used to smell.
