Do You Like These Smells Too?
Fantastic Smells
This is always fun and I’ve actually made a list before…here! I love that Stasha is using some of my ideas; it’s always flattering. So without delaying any longer let’s see how many you think are fantastic too!
- A FRESH pot of coffee brewing in the morning. I can’t think of a better smell to wake up to. It definitely tops morning breath even from a cute 4 year old.
- Tomato Plants- their leaves are so fragrant- even the slightest touch and your hands smell all day.
- That stupid Polo Blue for men, I’m still writing about it from my happy list. I’m still rubbing that magazine sample all over me and the girls- buy a bottle? That would make too much sense.
- This might sound gross but my husband after he’s been working- not his day job work but real man-work, like building something or chopping wood. Hubba Hubba!
- My dog Bowie, rest his soul. I saved his collar in a zip lock baggie to remind me of him and I know people think all dogs smell the same but they don’t. I miss that guy

- Fresh bread baking
- Vanilla
- Fresh cut grass (this might be confusing because I love the sound of the lawn mower- it reminds me so much of my childhood- so not sure if it’s the smell or sound that pulls at my heart).
- My girls when they are clean; not sweaty. They are big enough that their sweat is gross and no longer cute
- And of course- THE OCEAN
I went back and looked at my other list and it is very similar so I must really love these smells. Link up if you will with the rest of the posse at Monday Listicles!

I have some of the same favourites – bread, coffee, and the ocean. I miss my dog’s smell, too.
ho hum….
So hard to only list 10, coffee & tomato plants made my list too.
REALLY! Tomato plants did! That’s awesome. People never realize how lovely they smell!
I actually love my husband’s smell after he works around the house too. Funny, we have so much in common. Thanks for a great idea.
Thank you! This is so fun!
Ahhhh, the ocean. I almost forget what that smells like. I’m sorry you lost your dog. They are such a part of a family!
the best! get there! And thanks; it’s been 4 years but….
Bread and the ocean are some of the things that I like too
isn’t it wonderfuL!
I’m not sure I even realized that tomato plants were fragrant! I’ll have to remember that next time I’m in a garden. I’m with you on the ocean!
they are awesome! As soon as you smell them you probably will realize you’ve been smelling them for years!
#8 I am going to say its a combination of both. Even though I’ve heard my husband and neighbors cut grass for years there has to be a certain combination of conditions that really tug at my heart. My grandparents didn’t have AC so the windows were always open and there was always a breeze. If its a windows open kind of day, everyone is cutting grass, the breeze it blowing – add some coffee brewing and I might just start crying
You are dead on! Everything about that comment is so true! Open windows, breeze, especially at the beginning of the spring season!
Agree wholeheartedly with #9 – I love my kids’ scents when they are clean, but I nearly gagged as I just threw a load of dirty socks and underwear into the washing machine – they have adult sized stink now! Great list topic – thanks for coming up with it!
thank you!

Man sweat, yes. Children sweat, no. Hmmm. Interesting. HAHA
haha! It is funny….
I had some of these as well…isn’t a shame that our kids don’t always smell as sweet as they did when they were babies? Not that they always smelled sweet as babies…
haha Yes, so sweet
A fresh pot brewing in the morning was my #1 too…but to me, it always smells better when it’s coming from someone else’s place.
I don’t know why I didn’t say fresh-cut grass – I think it depends on my mood if that scent really gets me going. I do like the combination of freshly cut grass and wood even better.
I forgot wood burning! I love a fire roaring!
Great list! Mine is so similar! Though I love the smell of tomatoes I’ve never noticed the plant… am going to go sniff mine in a few months!!
as soon as you sniff your recognize! it’s yummy!
Man Smell has a very line. there’s a point at which hubby has been working and I’m like…..get that tool belt and to the bed NOW! And then 5 minutes will pass and I am like… do not touch me, or anything own and I just turn the shower on.
Being a man, of course this is hilarious so they must immediately grab you in a playful armpit stinky head lock.
boys are dumb. and they smell.
hahahahahahahaha BEST reply ever! And you are so right! My husband has hugged me in the summer and a little while later I think “what is that smell?” well its’ my shoulder from where he had his stinky armpit! haha
Great list!! I can totally relate with you about your doggie. They don’t all smell the same. I have kept collars from past fur babies and I also have some first collars because finding them when I’m digging trough pictures just brings back memories of them being puppies. It’s just another way to cherish good memories.
Oh I totally forgot the add the Ocean!!!
I def have to smell a tomato plant! Great list, especially the dog collar
I agree, dogs do smell different. Like Willy’s paws smelled like Doritos- hahahaha!! I would add the smell of summer rain, especially when it hits the hot pavement. Love it!!!
