There are two smells that I really love, one being lavender, I really adore the smell of this, I find it really calming and relaxing, I tend to buy bath toiletry products that are lavender fragranced, I find they help after a hard day at work!

The other isn't so good for me It is when you go in a supermarket, and they have the smell of freshly baked doughnuts wafting everywhere, I just can't resist the smell,and end up buying a bag of the things, not such a good result. *smiles*

I have several favorite smells.

One of my favorite smells is the smell of baking cookies. It reminds me of the ladies in my church that I look up to, because they are always cooking in the kitchen.

Another one is the smell of freshly cut grass. Everytime I cut the grass and I smell it, it makes me think of being out at my grandpa's farm, which is my favorite place on Earth.

I also adore the smell of walking through my old neighborhood. The place I used to live was completely covered in 200-300 year old trees and so many different kind of flower bushes, some wild some not. Walking around during the beginning of Spring just had this amazing smell of flowers and nature.

I also enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass. It is probably the only motivation for me to mow my lawn I also enjoy the smell of my wife next to me. It makes me feel calm and comforted. Call me sentimental I suppose, but I wouldn't trade that in for the world.

I like the smell of the ocean. The first inhale you get when you've been "land locked" for such a long time. That and my mum's cooking. Doesn't have to be anything in particular. Just something to remind me that I miss home sometime.

Scientists uncover new connection between smell and memory. Neurobiologists have identified a mechanism that allows the brain to recreate vivid sensory experiences from memory, shedding light on how sensory-rich memories are created and stored in our brains. Using smell as a model, the findings offer a novel perspective on how the senses are represented in memory, and could explain why the loss of the ability to smell has become recognized as an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
