Anything woodsy, spicy, dark, mysterious and anything citrusy, like organic lemons type of smell. I wish I could incorporate my favorite colonges into my shaving stuff : ( That would be so awesome.
Get some unscented soaps or creams and add a drop or spritz or two of your favorite cologne into the lather bowl, then whip up your lather as usual. I've used both oil and cologne with good results.
I love the smell of a warm load of cloths out of the dryer. Some freshly cut basil, scent of hot peppers oooh the scent of strawberry ice cream Most things vanilla scented (as long as it actually smells like vanilla not a bad rip off)
Speaking of shaving products, I like Boosters June Clover. Otherwise, blueberry pancakes are top of my list.

I love the smell of a deciduous forest in autumn. Though it's from the decaying vegetation, and is a sort of rotten odour, it is a very nostalgic and memory evoking smell for me. And a new one for me...My wife and I walked into a small specialty East Indian grocery store with an attached restaurant a couple days ago. The combination of spices offered for sale in the store, with the incredible cooking smells drifting over from the restaurant kitchen...fabulous!
Shaving product aromas I like? Stetson Gold----Avon Rugger 'no longer available'----English Leather 'been around forever'.
