This may seem a little weird, but come Summer, I purchase, weekly, a hot dog from a cart, and leave the wrapper in the car. That aroma is so captivating........

Sec ... I have a grapefruit hand wash ...

Channy ... love eucalyptus smells, too.

Muggsy ... I love the smell of petrol. When I was little I wanted to wear it as perfume "when I grew up". Never have, of course.

Boris, I like the smell of coffee, but haven't drunk it since 1989.

Bandcamp ... well, yes, it is a little weird 😉

Nothing wrong with "good" weird, though.

Stawka, have you tried the Vanilla Fridge Wipe? It's called something different now ... but it still smells the same. Great for deodorising the house before visitors 🙂

Paint ... love the smell of freshly mown grass ... and the smell of rain (about the only thing I do like about rain, lol).

Kopenhagen ... I am SO glad you mentioned lemons.

Last night I cooked a "Thai" beef salad. It was pretty Australianised, but it was good.

I had lettuce, tomatoes, asparagus, red onions, green beans ... all laid out prettily on a plate. Then I added the thinly sliced beef and the lime (we were out of lemons) and fish sauce ... and then added some beetroot.

It may sound a little odd ... but it tasted good.

Anyway ... the smell of fish sauce and lemon/lime juice is one of those hunger-making scents.

I use vanilla essence and hot water to clean out my fridge,

and I have a small container with bi-carb and I put a teaspoon of vanilla

essence onto it. That lives in the fridge and gets changed once a month.

I have vanilla scented oil (the ones with bamboo sticks for evaporation)

throughout the house too.

Vanilla essence is cheap. I use vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for cooking

baby puppies milky breath. Mind you I am a bit over that at the moment. I just helped Channy hand raise 8 orphaned puppies.
