Top 7 Smells (vanity)
PA Times | 9/14/05 | Dr. Pissant

Posted on 09/14/2005 8:43:56 AM PDT by pissant

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.

congratulations on baby. There is a special scent about them (except when you have to change them). Just didn't want you to end up in jail like that guy who tickled baby's belly . We have to be politically correct.

1. Burning leaves in the fall

2. a slightly used baseball

3. mesquite bushes after a desert rain

4. red, red roses

5. the smell of fresh sex...yes it has a "smell"; it's the only reason I close my eyes - sometimes!

6. the coal smoke of a steam engine

7. machine oil

8. Mown grass - right after mowing (sorry - a repeat!)

9. My lingerie drawer!

and

10. a defeated "dimocrat" (kinda like napalm in the morning - but more satisfying!)

woodsmoke on a flannel shirt
a freshly opened can of coffee
my husband's Tabac aftershave
gun-cleaning fluid
sheets fresh off the clothesline
fresh baked bread
the inside of a cedar chest
the inside of a cow barn after milking (not a big commercial enterprise, but one on a mom & pop farm. I know - sounds weird but brings back memories)

The smell of my computer after I leave DU. I haven't been there in years, but I assume things haven't changed.

My husband would agree with your list except he has no sense of smell. I used to think it was funny until I smelled smoke one evening and he couldn't.

Absolutely! My third daughter was born on June 9th and the Russian Olives outside the hospital were in full bloom. The smell always reminds be of her birthday!

I believe you open yourself to criticism insofaras you discrimminate against a set of olefactory stimuli which are deemed not pleasant. Much more fun could be had by asking the freepers to collate those sensations.

We could borrow the thread title from Jeff Foxworthy.

"Now, tell me that don't stink!"
