The ocean, that salty beachy smell.
The markets in South America, the smell of FRESH fruit and veggies is so over powering and unbelievable.
The rain forest in general... Man, I miss Colombia :[
Nag Champa
Winter green
Mango
Oranges
Lemons
Limes
Steak grilling
Hmmm.... Good food in general

I could go on forever, and I could never just choose one :]

I like the earthen rainy smell, too! It's in my filters!

Top three in no particular order.


Gardenias, the smell of a carbon cutting/grinding disc on steel, and sawdust.

Dang, I thought of a couple more. Traction fluid used in drag racing has a sweet bubblegum smell that I like, and nitromethane. CH3NO2
