My favorite scent has to be fresh coffee percolating on a campfire just before sun up on a cold and frosty morning. Favorite smell is the african bushveld before a raging storm! Lindy ;-)))))))))))))))

Remember standing on the railway bridge near where i lived on a farm, the smell of the steam from the old locomotives was somehow quite pleasant and unusual. David

I live somewhere slightly rural. Yesterday the fields had been spread with manure and I could smell it from inside the house. I've got used to it and for some reason I quite like the smell now. :-)

That's unusual, April An aroma, I expect, that would appeal to a young person.
