flowers are pretty but i always notice the way that they smell more than anything. i've heard that some people have this thing called allergies that makes them less enjoyable. maybe i wouldn't like them much then either, because your nose gets all stuff and food doesn't have much taste if you can't smell it.

other things that i like the smell of: grilled meat. even if it's not spiced, it still smells good. fresh cut herbs, because it brings back good memories. coffee, even if i don't think i'll ever like the taste of it. snow - someone once told me that snow doesn't really smell like anything but it does. oh, and babies. babies always smell good, except when they need a diaper change.

what's your favorite smell? is it something just from home or have you found it here too? or maybe there's one that you don't like. those scented candles never really smell like what they say on the jar to me.

and skunks really stink, but i think most people would agree on that.

call me a freak, but i really like the smell of nail polish.
and gasoline.

( She's very strange. )

leather too.

( Which is easier to understand. )

i don't think they have candles like that though :)

Black coffee, a hard-seared steak on an improvised grill in the middle of nowhere, a good whiskey. Any of those smell better than flowers.

Mileage may vary on baby-smell. Only one I've been around seemed to always need a diaper change.

[foxtrots]

leather! that would be on my list too.

gasoline smells sweet but in a weird way. i bet it would be a popular candle scent, but it's probably not a good idea to add gas to a candle.

[probably not.]

[foxtrots]

ahh you have a really good nose.

i think their heads probably always smell better than the other end. was it your baby?

[anotheroldsoldier]

My nose is pretty normal, my taste is just better than most.

Didn't get that close. It was a friend's baby.

The forest after it rains. Summer air before a big storm. Winter air after it's snowed.

My favorite smells involve a lot of precipitation.

Cow and buckskin leather, clean cut redwood, rosewood, sandalwood, just to add some non-weather scents.

...I've never smelled a baby.

[foxtrots]

ok but that steak - rare, medium rare... i won't believe that you like it well-done you're too cool for that.

i don't have any friends who have babies/ i mostly just smell them in the supermarkets.

[foxtrots]

you just reminded me of how much i like the smell of all of those things weather scents too. that's a lot of wood though.

they smell so soft! people are really careful with their babies, so they only use gentle stuff on them.

[anotheroldsoldier]

Rare. Is there any other way to eat it? Anybody who orders well-done might as well order shoe leather.

I bet their mothers just love that. You realize how that sounds, right?

[lykou]

That sounds like it would be true. I guess I just haven't had a lot of reason to be around babies. Not human babies, anyway.

Animal babies are another story, but they usually smell like their parents.

[foxtrots]

exactly!!! it's a waste of good meat, please respect the cow.

ah. a few have smiled at me. a few have seemed really upset by it.

[foxtrots]

have you been around a lot of humans at all?

The smell of mountains.

love the smell of leather. but also thyme, and rosemary, rosewood, sandalwood. reminds me of being a kid.

love the smell of rain, too. and the smell of sand, when it's been baking in the sun for a long time.

whoever told you that snow doesn't smell of anything was a liar.

[foxtrots]

ah. yeah, that.

i think i've been in cities for too long. i was born at the bottom of a mountain and i didn't even think of it.

[foxtrots]

why do they remind of you it?

rain is such a nice smell. clean. i can't remember ever smelling sand before, but now i really want to.

[luckyescape]

I was born near a mountain with a lot of woods. IT always makes me think of home.

[lykou]

I've been around lots of humans, just not in a context where it was socially acceptable for me to sniff their babies...

[tanker]

because my mom was always making little bundles of these herbs and plants, used them around the house for protection
and we lived in the forest, so it's all reminiscent of it, for me.

it's just this really warm smell. the kind that's hard to describe.

what're you talking about babies smell weird

[ And, to answer your question: ] smoke and chlorine

[foxtrots]

where is home for you? which country?

[foxtrots]

they have a very soft smell, what's weird about babies?

and i'm not sure those are healthy for you to be breathing in too much.

[foxtrots]

i think i need a towel, my mouth just started watering.

[anotheroldsoldier]

Thank you. If you aren't using the whole cow and you're overcooking it, that cow died for approximately jack shit.

Important question the second: A1 or no A1?

I think you're supposed to ask first, before you approach a stranger's baby.
