The house I live in now is just down the street from a Nabisco(now Kraft) bakery and they bake cookies on wednesdays and snack cakes on mondays. I'm sitting here on this nice,breezy 60 degree fall day out on my patio really enjoying this sweet aroma. I smell this all the time but for some reason it smells really fantastic today. Maybe cause I'm playing hooky from both my jobs

...just kidding. I like the smell of good indian food. And my wife smells really good.

ok, arousal smells aside (hopefully that's a given with most folk, pick your gender) here's mine-

Baby right after a bath smell

Sitting under a tree in Fall smell

Warm down comforter on a Winter day smell

Leather in a car smell - preferrably of the Sports or Luxury derivative

Chocolate Mocha Cake fresh from Bing's Bakery smell

Reedy bamboo and rice paper door in Summer smell

Anyway, new electronics does it for me. I really can't stand the smell of fresh cut grass, I don't know why everyone likes it so much.
