Researchers have long realized that our sense of smell contributes greatly to our overall satisfaction or disatisfaction with foods. It has also been established that smells can trigger memories, good or bad, of events long ago.

Here at the Pissant Research Center, we've now compiled the definitive list of smells that improve our moods and make getting out of bed each morning that much easier!

Top 7 Pleasurable Smells

1. Baked Pies:--It does not matter weather its apple, blueberry, or pumpkin. It triggers an instant drool reaction

2. Chocolate Chip Cookies:--Self evident

3. A Good Hoppy Beer:--The combination of the sweet smelling malt and the flowery hops...makes me want to crack one right now!!

4. A Woman's Perspiration:--Not the 3 days without a shower smell, rather the smell of a clean, lightly perfumed woman who is sweating for the best of reasons

5. Gasoline:--There's a reason why many people get brain damage from huffing. Plus it reminds us of sunny days mowing the lawn

6. Fresh Mowed Grass:--Often follows the smell of gasoline and the preceeds the smell of a Good Hoppy Beer

7. Pipe Tobacco:--Everyone had a relative that smoked a pipe, and in light concentrations, the stuff smells good enough to eat.

Humm......The crisp smell of morning through an open window when a touch of frost is in the air. Of course this only works in a sparsley populated area!

I am always looking for peppermint candles but they are so hard to find unless its Christmas....

"if someone marketed peppermint candles year around they could make a mint!!"

No pun intended, right?

I totally agree. Peppermint is one of the more uplifting, clean scents out there. I just buy the "essential oil" stuff. I also buy the sweet orange oil and put in in a little clay pot in my office. Makes it smell very nice. :o)
