Something pine oriented. Fresh green, burnt wood, or creosote.

Yes.

Though more specifically, the smell of the air in the mountains.
Pine/spruce-scented, clean, fresh...love it.

I cannot slice a lemon and not take a big whiff of the first cut before I get back to the slicing.

The smell of burning electronics (fresh) is kind of neat (unless it messes with my shows!) but like tobacco and other smokes when it lingers and gets stale it's gotta go!

MMMMM cinnamon oatmeal...

Kind of what I do - contact cleaner with hexane - smells terrific like those magnum44 markers! Even though the swab is clearly wet I ALWAYS have to smell it before using. Probably killing a few brain cells but oh well.

I love opening a bar in the morning, and smelling stale beer and cigarettes. It's like ambrosia :^)

Ugh - too many places have an overwhelming "aroma" of vomit and budweiser piss too. D:

I've been in a couple of those joints. /That's/ a smell I can do without :^D

I miss the smell of my granny's house. It was nothing I can describe, but was a smell I loved.

10 day old corpse in a warm room

Try 6 year old corpse, pulled from the ground.

Does that smell? I'd think it would be fairly well preserved at that point.

No, it's possibly the worst smell in the entire world. When I worked as a grave digger in high school, my boss whose been there for 25 years, said it was by far the worst thing he's ever smellt. Once they opened it up, him and the other guy just hurled, instantly.

Glad I was off :thumbsup:

Basil. I love that stuff.

burning flesh

Most people will get hungry at a whiff of smoke from a deep pit beef BBQ - and that's actually what they are smelling! D:

I LOVE the smell of napalm in the morning...It smells like VICTORY!

You're NEVER, EVER supposed to let the magic smoke out...

Everyone knows this.

How would you know it was magic if not allowed to diffuse through the room? Ventilation hoods be damned!

Did you know Purell burns with a nearly invisible flame? Put a lump on a plate, light it and pass $100 bills over and watch them ignite and people run! :twisted:

You know the smoke is magic because, most often, once you let it out...electronics stop working.

Sweet thing...unlike most of ATOT, I'm not rich enough to burn $100 bills...even for a magic trick like that.

What's in the purell? Even alcohol usually has a slight blue tint to it when it burns. (although in the sunlight, it can be almost invisible...I've seen a few good fires with the alcohol-fueled funny cars in my youth.

I've had electronics keep working even when the smoke was pouring out - only because the part that was smoking (voice coil) was not part of the amplifier circuitry!

Heh the trick is to put them out before they burn too bad. Banks will still take them.

Here's what's in Purell:

http://media.gojo.com/msds/english/PURELLInstantHandSanitizer.pdf

Lack of O2 or poor aspiration causes yellow, sooty carbuerizing flames. Reminds me of running the oxyacetylene torch with O2 shut off. You get these black things floating all around you. Burning foam cups can do similar as well.

heh-heh...but fill that styrofoam cup full of pool chlorine...then add a couple of spoons full of brake fluid or some other hydrocarbon...and it burns very nicely. (one of my favorite tricks from HAZMAT class.)

I think they are putting that with 91% rubbing alcohol in pop bottles to make "bombs" now.
