:hi:

[SarahB]

13. Right now...

His unlaundered shirt that I'm going to take a nap snuggled next to. He's only the second man ever to hit me perfectly with the pheromones in his skin. You ever just breath in someone's scent and feel instantly "at peace, lusty, and just.... home" all at once? Thank goodness he loves me back.

I miss you again. Two more long days. :cry:

44

[Shine]

23. I have been known to do that exact same thing with my man's

shirt. There's a LOT to that pheromone thang....

:hi:

Good luck over these next couple of days. As they say, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

...and just think about your sweet reunion. :hug:

[SarahB]

31. When my children were babies...

I did the same thing. Different kind of feelings, but similar intensity in that different way. Love is a beautfiul thing. :)

[Shine]

37. Yup.

How old are your babies now?

Mine are almost 9 and 12.

Time marches on....

:)

[Beware the Beast Man]

61. My girlfriend's unlaundered bra when we're apart...

One cup at a time I gently inhale, close my eyes, and I get a subtle double dose of her unique femininity mixed with lingering perfume washing over my spirit ...aromatherapy from heaven.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

63. Fresh mown grass

:hi:

.....although, I must say, that is a rather unique one. ;)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

26. I'm just kidding. Garlic, fresh baked bread, and roast chicken smell

coming out of the oven, ocean salt air would be the immediate ones that come to mind. And freshly brewed coffee.

[Shine]

28. It's funny how many of our favorite smells have to do with food

Isn't it true that if you don't have a sense of smell you can't taste anything, either?

I once knew somebody who had that condition.

Bummer.

[Peter Frank]

65. Yeah...

...like the smell of fermented stink-bait must be an acquired taste :eyes:

Green tea body scrub / lotion (I love that stuff)

Car engine (can't really describe it... a smell I remember from working on old cars...)

I used to love the gasoline smell, myself.

Reading your post reminded me of a childhood school friend whose favorite smell was BUS EXHAUST.

Now that's truly unique! To each their own, right?

:hi:

40. The smell of a fire in the winter.

I love the smell of a fire in the winter. That's probably my favorite smell.

Other good ones include vanilla, apple-cinnamon scented candles, outside after a good rain, the smell of most baked goods (while being baked, of course), fresh-brewed coffee, definitely cedar, and the smell of a Thanksgiving dinner as it's being made.

There's others, but I don't want to have to type all day. :)

Fire in the winter...that was a good one.

Boy, you're coming up with all sorts of clever little answers.

:thumbsup:

[Reciprocity]

48. Yep lol. Warning non-speller posting should be my sig line.

[Shine]

50. Hey, at least you managed to spell your username correctly!

:)

[Patiod]

46. honeysuckle, jasmine

Don't like either smell in a perfume, but the smell of a Pennsylvania woods in June, thick with honeysuckle is amazing

And the smell of Venice in June after sunset isn't sewerage or fish or whatever else I've heard summer in Venice described as, but it's an overwhelming smell of Jasmine.

[Shine]

53. Those are two of my favorites, as well.

Jasmine, in particular, reminds me of the vine growing near my childhood home.

It's funny how scents can trigger memories, too, huh?
