The smell of rain evaporating from hot asphalt or dirt after a hot day

I always bring this up to people when it rains and we're near asphalt and they just look at my like I'm crazy. Something stranglely nostalgic about it.

Anyway:

Lilacs and lillies of the valley, recently bloomed especially.

Freshly mowed grass.

Freshly laundered bedsheets and pillowcases with Downy used as the fabric softener.

Lemon pledge/Mr clean/ Lysol cleaning solution.

In case you can't tell I really love spring lol.

Edit: forgot about cedar! It's such a relaxing scent.

The clay Roma Plastilina. Nothing in the world smells like it, oily and rich earthen smell with a strange tang. I have never not opened a bar and stopped to take a deep inhale.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Rain in Tucson had the weirdest smell and now that I don’t live there I miss it, especially when you’re out in the cut away from the gross oily roads that haven’t been rinsed in 10 months.

My family makes homemade kielbasa and part of that involves having the meat and spice mixture sit in the fridge for a day for the flavors to blend.

So for a day every time I open the fridge I get a wiff of future sausage and it's amazing.

There once was a famous conductor who was asked, "Which is your favorite orchestra to conduct?"

The maestro replied, "How can I pick just one? This one has the best brass, that one has woodwinds that touch my heart. And this other one, the percussion...oh the percussion!"

I recall a melange of smells from my childhood when I was maybe 9 or 10, the aroma of my dad and his father, and their buddies when they hung out in the garage after work. I never knew exactly what it was until I accidentally replicated it in my own adulthood. It is the blend of sweat, beer, cigarettes, and farts. It is a link to my ancestors. It is the smell of my people.

This, but especially the manual for Dark Cloud 2, which was treated to smell like old books and parchments, tying in with the game's invention mechanic. I've never seen anything like that again

The Great Twist
The smell of spring. I can't explain it, but just as the snow is almost fully melted and a warm breeze comes through I can smell spring around the corner and it is the THE BEST smell. Also, my discontinued cologne Armani Mania is pretty damned good too.

Someone grilling ribs over charcoal in the distance is a game changer as well.

Has anyone said a newly opened back of pokemon/yugioh/magic/whatever cards? idk why it's so good, but it is!


Drying tobacco, hung up in the barn.


That weird "military" smell in certain bases. Like, when you go in, there's like a certain smell. idk if it's a mix of boot polish and whatever paint the government uses, or what. It's very nostalgic to me, as my father and step-mother were both military, and I'd go on-base with them sometimes and get to see their work. Some of my favorite memories are of being with my dad on the flight line, getting to see the fighter jets up close. I suppose jets/their hangars have an interesting, distinct smell, too, what with the oil, fuel, and other chemicals they use.

My favorite cooking smell is by far saute'd onions and garlic. When Mrs. WITCHCRAFT is making dinner I frequently pop into the kitchen to go "oooh that smells good" and it's literally just onions in butter, food is barely started cooking. It smells good on its own merit, but also promises a much deeper, varied, and rich dinner to come. It makes me anticipate good food. My personal Pavlov's Bell.

The term you're looking for is library smell. Hundreds and thousands of books on shelves, condensing their scent and producing their own unique dust. Decades of paper, hundreds of pounds of wood pulp.

That reminds me, I also like the ozone smell of a laser printer or copier running full blast. Like the wonderful smell of gasoline, I assume you probably shouldn't be huffing it but I sure do like the way it smells.

You just gave me a random memory I had forgotten for years. My dad used to work at an airport, and when he came home his coat and work uniform had this distinct smell. It didn't smell like any kind of fuel or oil or anything else. It reminded me of the smell of maple syrup but without any sweetness. I can remember being really little, and giving him a hug right when he came home from work, still in his uniform, and that exact smell.

Thank you for reminding me of that smell :)
