What's your favorite smells?

Last night I was making stuffed bell peppers. I realized I LOVE the smell of a cut bell pepper!

Mine:
bell pepper
freshly cut grass
cotton candy
chocolate
vanilla
watermelon
curry powder
cinnamon
freshly photocopied paper (weird I know)
cucumbers
bacon
smoke from wood burning in a fireplace

all I can think of at the moment.. I notice it's mostly food.. man I'm a pig!

One of my favorites is lilacs in the springtime (sentimental reasons). Some others are the smell of bread baking, although I don't eat much bread, coffee brewing, esp if it's a flavored one, fresh fruit salad, and vanilla extract. I also like the smell of a freshly showered man.

Two of mine from childhood- fresh cut grass- or maybe it was hay. We would go for rides in the country and my mom would say 'smell the sweet grass' I hear it in my head everytime I smell it now.
Lilacs- had several shaggy lilac bushes growing up and we would fill up the house with them. My first house also had lilac bushes.
Baby/child fresh out of the tub
Fresh, clean air after a heavy rain or snow
