The smell of doughnuts cooking, especially jam ones. I'm practically salivating just thinking about it. Also if you've ever been to Cadbury World, the place just smells heavenly. I agree with the curries thing too. Perfume wise for me it's all about Marc Jacobs Daisy.

Freshly washed linen, cooking and baking smells, the smell of "Christmas" (cinnamon, cranberry, etc).

And more straightforward: lavender, cinnamon and chocolate!

Most disgusting smells: Rotorua in New Zealand (Google it, I thought I was going to get sick when I stayed there for a single day!) and the smell that escapes when cleaning dishes that have had raw egg on them, ewww.

I like the grass, bread, actual smell of ground coffee before it has been brewed...used to work in an italian restaurant and stand smelling coffee very sensually much to the boss's amusment :D

Love pine , especially the sap straight from the bark. Geraniums are my fav flower smell, close second the bunch of Cyclamens’ on my windowstill (now thats a flower that just won't quit). I'm there with the wet smell of the earth, especially with all the leaves around at the moment, the smell of fresh air from the washing is heavenly.

Wierd ones are my own smells (all of them :mrgreen: ) petrol and marker pens.

Yes, add this to my list of unpleasant smells. My eyes water and my nose tingles when I get a whiff of a Lush shop - I have to walk on the other side of the MetroCentre Mall, and I've been known to take a deep breathe and hold it as I scuttle past, so that I don't inhale the odour.

OMG that lush shop should be banned!!! How on earth the workers are able to stand in there all day without passing out is beyond me.

I find the smell of lavender gives me headaches, ironically.
