I love the smell:
you get when you go in to a tyre shop,
When you walk in to a shoe shop
Drive in to a petrol shop (petrol garage, just keeping it in style)
New shoe smell (not old shoe smell
)White Musk on women (I don't know why, it just pushed that button!)
That smell when you walk out of your front door in the morning and it's been raining but now it's hot.
Hmmm, good vibrations

The optimist claims that we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears this is true.
Always make time to play in the snow.

And even better if there was grass recently cut nearby.
I like the smell of foggy mornings too.

i recon all morning smells in the country are good and i live on a farm so.
but if you live in a sity then it probably doesn't smell so nice. sometimes though farmers near me spray their feild with liquid cow excrement and that don't smell to good (my farm doesn't farm if you see what i mean so i don't get that problem)

The smell of a motorbike is quite good too!

Mmmm, fresh cut grass is the best on a summers evening.
Petrol and burning glo fuel are delicious too though.

You lucky people you. For as long as i can remember ive been almost unable to smell. No reason that i know of. People ask me "do you smell something burning" and i nod my head, smile and go turn off the tator tots which, it turns out, are NOT supposed to cook for 2 & 1/2 hours.
Kangaroo Island eh? I hear that place is really hopping!

There's a shop that sells toast in the morning at the tube station.
The smell is GORGEOUS.
No need for advertising signs there.

Reminded me of the woody smell inside my guitar! It's not as strong these days, but when it was new..
I quite like the smell in a new car. Although.. they sell it in sprays now.. I guess there are some other people who quite like it too
