I thought this was a fun time waster.

You forgot villages rank with fear.

The last aroma in the list has a name: petrichor (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/petrichor)

Too specialized.  I almost took out babies for that reason, but then remembered there were a lot of parents here.

Definitely a mixed bag when it comes to the smell of babies.  :lol:

That's how I'm interpreting it -- of these smells, which two are your favorites.  Or if you could smell them, which two would you like most to smell.

coffee and dirt

cant smell coffee anymore but i can still smell turned earth

Some, not all, freshly turned dirt has a pleasing aroma.  Oddly, my compost barrel often has a smell that is pleasing.  Those little bacteria are amazing workers.

One of my favorite essences is from freshly cut wood of certain varieties.  Too bad. Some of the cedars produce toxic fumes. Other woods have unpleasant smells when freshly cut.

I enjoy scratching a lemon with my thumbnail.

That wasn't consciously meant to be a euphemism.

Need a separate poll for flowers.  Right now, my favorite is gardenia. Honeysuckle runs a close second.

Also, the smell of piña colada shampoo.  I want to drink it.

Do it!  I don't know enough about flowers myself to make that poll.  Just my luck I'd add some that have no smell.

Chocolate. It really doesn't matter to me which type of chocolate it is. I like them all.

The fence that separates My back yard from the neighbors', has Confederate Jasmine vines.  When in bloom the smell is delicious. Hummers and bees approve as well.

On the negative side there is the ubiquitous Virginia creeper vine, also called Skunk vine. When you cut it or damage it the smell is not pleasant.  The damned skunk vine is a menace.  It invades every place, mostly on the brick wall that separates my house from the street.  Removing it from the wall is a stinky process.  I usually poison it, at some risk to myself, with Roundup chemical.

I love the fragrant aroma of fresh tomato leaves as you brush against them.

I don't think I remember the smell of tomato leaves but I do love the smell (and taste) of tomatoes.  :P

The closest you can get to the smell of tomato leaves is if you buy tomatoes on the vine.

There is a cattle farm near me and the smell can be sweet - at times.

So...if you think someone is not telling the truth the expression should be, "That's pigshit!" instead of, "That's bullshit!"
???  :notsure:

i lived downwind from a hogfarm once. i could handle the zmell but when we flooded i was inundated with almond hulls and rotton orangez. i kept hundreds of beehives in the area so we all tried to get along

I would have picked Homemade Bread and Books.
