Real leather, freshly cut wood, most fragrant flowers (especially Lillies, Jasmine, Sweet Peas and Roses), petrichor, garlic, freshly cut grass
Cut grass, gas/petrol, books… lots of smells really. Some weirder than others :3
Since it’s the time for planting tomatoes where I live, I’ll also point them out as smelling nice
Sunscreen, sun-soaked basil, and new electronics.
Nothing beats the smell of a subwoofer on its first run.
The smell of freshly cooked rice.
Wet concrete. Diesel. I think coffee smells way better than it tastes (unlike the other two)
You like the taste of diesel and wet concrete?
That was the implied joke, yes. (For clarity, I think I have tasted wet concrete before as a kid, I have not tasted diesel)
A combination of the smells from my grandfather’s shed: sawdust, machine oil and petrol from the lawn mower, freshly cut grass, leather, his pipe tabacco, and just a hint of whisky from the bottle he used to keep in there. He had a couple of old, leather, wing-back chairs in there and sometimes at the weekend after mowing the lawn we’d just sit and talk in his shed for a bit while he smoked his pipe and had a wee dram.
Sadly long gone (he died in the late 80s) but I get hints of it occasionally. Sometimes I’ll smell maybe the lawnmower smells in my own shed and my brain will fill in the rest and I’ll feel small and safe and warm and comfortable just for a moment or two.

He he, I love peaches too, thus my lemmy name.
The many smells of forests, seaweed when it washes up on the beach, new steam deck vent and video rental stores, I guess I’ll never smell the last one again though. I know there are candles that are made to mimic them but they are too expensive.
Cheese toastie
Well I didn’t want to boast but I do smell lovely
Halls cough drops remind me of my grandfather, specifically the cherry ones.
That’s really sweet
Summer rain
Petrichor?
Learned a new word today, thanks. Yes.
Lilacs
Imminent snow, petrichor, the damp forest on a warm afternoon, sawdust/cut wood, ozone during/after thunderstorm, after a fireworks show (burned black powder).
Marijuana. And by association, dead skunk (it smells like strong weed/strong weed smells like dead skunk 🤷🏻♂️)
Light BO. A day after sweating at work, great. If you haven’t bathed in a week; 🤮
Whatever the Rock is cooking.
Pot/weed. I understand why non-partakers dont care for it but I gotta get a sniff whenever opening a new bag
Whenever I smell someone else smoking weed outdoors it reminds me of being at a concert or music festival so I legitimately enjoy catching whiffs of it in the wild.
