    Wow, lots of 'fresh' scents...

    Freshly dug earth has different smells by area but I find most quite pleasing.

    My favorite floral is lavender. I also love the smells of cut grass & conifer forests.
    At home, I am nuts about the way my hands smell. after I have just started a batch of vanilla extract or rolled some beeswax candles.

    I like citrus smells in the summer and musky/spicy smells in the winter.

    Aroma is seasonal for me. But all year round I like "fresh" scents like baby powder and barber talc.

    Salt Water from the ocean with all the extra stuff mixed in.
    The smell you get while pulling in a huge multihull kite, The sail is covered in dryed spray and it is all around you while you are packing it away.

    Also wet cut grass and white tea come in a second place.

    Really like the fragrance of the Original Scent Jergens - Cherry-Almond. Best though would be Chanel #5.

    Caramel cooking, a top quality Welsh single malt whiskey, Vanilla, freshly cut hay, the smell that you get from the earth on a really hot summers day, after a real cloud burst the the ground sort of sucks it up and gives off a wonderful scent, leather cigars, and most definately the sea breeze on a cool evening by the seaside.

    Freshly cut grass, my wife before she goes to bed, a new home right after it's been framed, bed sheets just out of the dryer, a Florida Summer storm, inside a tire store and unicorn farts.

    Tobacco, a light vetiver (earthy and not too smokey), citrus and spicy scents like nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. Some floral scents like lily and lilac. The scent of the breeze coming off the sewer lagoon on a hot summer night.............

    I have Gunpowder fragrance . Smells good, too. Can't say I know what actual gunpowder smells like though.
