What are your fave odors? Least fave?
My faves are: gardenias, lilies-of-the-valley, the monkey house at the zoo, Irish Spring soap, sandalwood incense, pipe tobacco, ylang ylang and fir essential oils, fresh pine trees...

Least fave: 99% of perfumes (some literally smell like Raid), cat urine, gasoline, cigarettes...

3. I have no appreciable sense of smell.
The only thing my nose will pick up is citrus fruits, so I guess that's my favourite. When I eat Christmas oranges, I like to rip the peels in front of my nose and inhale.

8. Funny you should mention the curry...I love to eat it, but the smell?
Ugh! I make my own and it clings to your clothes and skin. When someone sits down in a computer lab and I can smell the curry on them, my stomach lurches.

13. My favorite is the smell of the ocean.
Oddly Lake Michigan smells like that sometimes, too. I'm also partial to cookie baking odors.
My least favorite would be skunks, vomit, and insecticide.
