Like a brand new car, it's just to bad that the smell goes away

How could I forget about cut grass?  But I do like the smell of a new camera more!

I particularly like the smell of metal that's been ground or drilled. Reminds me of good times messing about in metalwork class.

I agree on the electronics, cut grass, but not on the smell of gas.  I do like the smell of new leather

The smell of leather is actually a perfume they put on it to mask the smell of dead animal (I am a trained leather worker).

Smell is just another sense to explore with. The next thing will be scented inks for photos to really set the scene :toocrazy:

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

LOL no wonder you can't smell anything else.  :banana:


Seriously though, that smell is too strong and artificial smelling for me.

Some of the smells I enjoy, in no particular order:
  • New electronics
  • New musical instruments (particularly certain wood instruments like a guitar or cajon)
  • New car
  • Fresh cut grass
  • The scent of fresh French bread baking (I worked in a bakery years ago and that smell never got old)
Used to like the gasoline smell as a kid but not anymore.

Dear Oddman, oops sorry I mean Kenman, life is full of good and bad smells, I love the smell of grass, and the smell of freshly baked bread, on the other side of things I am surrounded by farms and it's muck spreading time, oh the joys.
