Some Nice Smells

[lupestripe]

Being a wolf I'm quite used to using my olfactory sense. So here is a list of smells that this lil wolf likes:

1) New upholstery and carpet
2) Petrol and benzene
3) Freshly baked bread
4) Crisp springtime dew (or indeed any grass after it has just been raining)
5) Bacon frying
6) Fish being battered in a fish and chip shop

I like the smell of phenol. It's used as a base in many perfumes and aftershaves.

I love the smell of fresh coffee (strange though as I can't stand the taste of coffee.)
That brand new computer smell that lasts about two days after you brought it.
That fresh type smell you get after a heavy rain fall.
Frying bacon and fish and chips.
and that green radox shower gel you get from Tescos ;)

I agree completely about the fresh coffee thing - it's a really nice smell yet it tastes like utter shite. I wonder why that is.

Those silver bags that computer chips come in - the smell of the insde of them is divine. Completely agree with you about new computers and also photocopier smell - acetone is a really sweet smell too. Wonder if they are linked?

Radox shower gel, hmm, I'm cheap and stick to Lidl's own. It gives a nice foam hehe.

It's also a benzene product isn't it? I'm not too sure about perfumes and aftershaves meself - they have an odour similar to that of a chemical toilet. I find them more offputting if anything (although my boyfriend's aftershave is mrrr).

Phenol is an alcohol made from benzene. My aftershave is alcohol free, so I don't dry my skin out or get hurt if I cut myself :) But it's also scentless too.

What's the point of the aftershave then? Indeed what IS the point of aftershave, is it to neutralise the skin or something.

Phenol is an alcohol yes...hmm an alcohol with a benzene ring attached. So you can drink yourself to death quite literally. Marvellous!

nono, it is a benzene ring with an oh group attached. but still quite deadly.
