When I was a little kid, I had a friend who used to run up behind trucks and inhale deeply when they accelerated away.

I thought it was weird as hell, but I guess a lot of people like that smell. :)

My personal top two smells are probably fresh cut grass and the air after a rain storm.

Never have I smelled anything as divine as my own brand new babies. There is something so powerful in the scent on their heads the first 2 weeks. It must be nature's way of helping a mother bond because I don't think anyone else's babies necessarily smell good.
