What's your favorite smell?
The least favorite smell thread is bothering me (because I hate stinky things), so I'm starting a new one.

My favorite smells are:

1. The scent of a man when he's all hot and sweaty (but before the BO sets in). I think it's a pheremone thing.

2. The smell of a new baby (often as a result from #1).

3. Lavender

4. Cinnamon

5. Roses of course

22. Might as well get the whole quote while we're here.
You smell that? Do you smell that?... Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
