Most people like certain smells, like flowers, fresh-cut grass, cookies baking, etc. I like all of those, too, but here are some of my more unusual favorite smells:
- Dial antibacterial gold soap. I love it.
- Band-aids.
- Sizzling onions/peppers/steak. Like, the fajitas being brought to the table next to yours, when you ordered a healthy, boring salad.
- Warm, clean, happy cat. Usually found purring in the sunshine.
- April Fresh Downy. I don't use it often, but I keep snuffling the clothes when I use it.
- ripe peach. I would almost rather smell it than eat it. Almost.
- Lemon Endust. The house isn't clean if it doesn't smell like Lemon Endust.
- freshly-bathed Wendy (that's kind of a given)
- Garlic. Not fresh garlic in a meal, but the garlic that you ate yesterday that is now oozing from your pores. Yeah, I can smell that. Go stand way over there, please.
- Ripe bananas. Green or just-barely ripe ones are fine, but once they cross that threshold, I don't want them anywhere around.
- Gasoline. Normally, I kinda like the smell. Not right now.
- The Refrigerator. All those closed-in smells. Normally, I don't think our fridge smells like anything, but when I'm pregnant, it stinks.
- The Microwave. When you cook something and then shut the door, the smells stay in there & get funky - did you know that?
- Cat breath. Especially Maestro's. Smells like something died in there.

yes, the refrigerator is a highly offensive smell to pregnant me right now too. also the freezer. i don't remember it bothering me w/ my last pregnancy. every time i open the fridge i have to take in a deep breath to avoid smelling it! also can't stand the smell of newspaper right now, esp. wet newspaper. pregnancy sure does wierd things doesn't it?
I love the smell of coffee. It is probably my favorite. I'm not even a huge coffee drinker. I like it every now and then. I'm with you on the garlic ozzing out of the pores thing. Whenever my mom and I eat a lot of garlic it stays with us for a while. Gross.
I remember being overwhelmed with smells too! The litter box was always a huge offender to me, not matter what fancy kind of litter we used. And of course, Hubby was on litter box duty when I was pregnant, so it didn't get the attention I thought it needed. My nose was constantly in a tizzy from that!
hahaha My cellphone is freaking me out with how it smells! I nearly vomit when someone calls me on it.
