I love the smell just after it starts to rain.Yeah call me crazy but it's relaxing.I love the smell of food cooking also.Not that i'm obsessed with food or anything.I think thats all i think the potion would smell like for me.

Hmm, I am not sure. Probably:

• A warm, blazing fire filled with burnt embers, cackling and smoking
• Cookies baking
• New book

All got good smells . But I probably need to think longer on this.

Hmmm.... there would be many....

But the ones that come to mind right now are :

-- the smell of winter ( you know..that crisp,fresh smell)

-- the smell of christmas trees (all pines)

and i love what 62442al_Man said -- a warm blazing fire , crackling and smoking

Mine..

* Cappucino Vanilla
* Salt, sea and that pine trees on beaches
* Chocolate
* Fresh paint ( I have just done with painting my room)
* Cherries

I'm going to say bleach, and freshly washed laundry.. Which is strange because it isn't like I actually like doing laundry..but I do love the way it smells...

Since I love candles and potpourri so much that is what mine would be, a cross between blueberry pie, peaches and cream and cinammon. I just love those scents, I have like candles in every room in my house and when they are all lit the smell is so captivating! I also love the smell of fresh brewed coffee so that would be in there somewhere also

I agree mine would probably smell like chocolate. Maybe even it melting in your mouth. That's sounds delcious.

Mine would be the smell of pine and the ocean, with some clam chowder fragrances there too. mmmm now im hungry!

i'd have buddist type insence and the smell of big old books. but it would be a clean sort of smell, not too sickly otherwise i'd fall asleep all the time. can it change? because in the morning it would have to be coffee.

Hmm, that's a tough one to choose. I might have to think about that... Let's see... well... Chocolate is a good one, I like that, but I'm not to sure that's what it would be all the time, right now I think mine would be the smell of a Chipotle burrito . (It's a Mexican restaurant chain that makes excellent burritos) Haha, well right now that's what I'm craving, tomorrrow it might be different though.

cool thread mine would probably be.....chocolate, coffee, coconut......and petrol lol i know the last ones a bit strange but i just love that smell!

hmmm mine would probably be many different things:
~fresh baking especially Chocolate Chip Cookies
~cologne...mmm the smell of guys
~rain...i swear it's the best smell ever
~vanilla
~cinnamon
~this one's weird but the smell of ice: i play ringette and i love the smell of the skating rink
~also anything tropical!

Probably...strawberries, rain, this fruity perfume that I really want to get, vanilla, christmas trees...we just got ours and now our livingroom smells good...maybe nailpolish...skip the lecture, I just like the smell when I'm in the same room as someone who's painting their nails...

Petrol, Coffee, and my baby daughter (who smells like biscuuits most of the time)

I love the smell of petrol I have no idea why....

Coffee reminds me of mornings and my all night songwriting/Pro Evolution soccer tournaments with my friends when I was younger

And my baby daughter - well I like biscuits anyway but your own child is always one of your favourite smells


Edited Later - Ooh ooh ooh - and probably toffee cheescake - hmmm now i'm hungry - or curry - or ...er ... there's too mnay smells i'd like It's probably get all mixed up and not smell like anything and not really nice at all

To me it would smell like my baby daughter, paint, the smell of smoke when you blow it out your nose!

yes im weird.

I think it would be the smell of fresh coffee, just washed linnens, pizza in the oven and a christmastree... maybe there are some things I forgot but I think that's about it

Hmmm...I'd say mine would smell of freshly picked mint leaves because that's when the smell's the strongest, peaches which are my favourite fruit, and the smell of the air just after it's rained and there is a full sun, just when the puddles are evaporating.

i'd say mine would be the smell of hp books,fresh coffee,my girlfriend's hair(i mean"it always smells chocolate!!!!") and the smell of paint or fresh-light fire and many others....i love this thread!!!

Hmm.. I suppose I'd smell the melon scented Febreeze (haha), chocolate, permanent marker, liquid paper, chocolate, coffee... my fiance's cologne, I can't remember which one it is... Axe too lol. Hmm... baby lotion, I love that smell, the smell of rain, that crips scent in the air when it's winter, a clean diaper (if/when you're a parent then you [will] understand exactly what I mean), anything with citrus. Ah, Herbal Essences shampoo too, the fruit fusions are my favourite. The smell of a new book that's yet to be opened. Hot chocolate, strawberries, watermelon, bananas and nail polish. If there's any then oh well. This is a good topic though.

Hmm, I think i'll smell the atmophere of an airplane which will take me away from my home, smell of a new novel and i guess a cigaratte or perhaps a motorbike!

My smell would have to be chocolate or sandalwood. I love the smell of sandalwood. And carbon paper. (i know that sounds a bit weird) I guess you grow to liking it after working in an office that uses it all the time.

Mine would smell like sandalwood, lilies, after it rains, starbucks, hairspray, and cut grass.

hmmm mine would probably smell like winter, like snow. Something special always happens to me on the first snow of the year. its nice.

Mine would probably smell like pine trees I LOVE that smell. Also a new book, after it rains, chocolate, in the winter when your about to go down the mountain (it's the perfect mix of pine and snow), sweet pea, the ocean and coffee! There's probably other scents too I just can't think of them right now! I really like this thread it's interesting!

Mine would most likely be the smell of clean laundry, i love that smell! Or the smell of horses, i know people think they smell bad, but to me it is a comforting smell. Another may be the smell of peppermint i love that smell!

my amortenia?? wow this is hard!
i love the smell of coffee... i hate the taste
i love the smell of chocolate... it's dreamy
i love the smell of the world when it's raining and after ... i don't know how else to describe that!
i love the smell of mowed grass... oh dear even more like Hermione! lol
i love the smell of hot chocolate... and it tastes great too!
i also love the smell of lillies and roses... they smell so sweet
oh and the smell of something cooking!! lol ... especially cookies and cakes!!

i bet there's more....

Hi,

I think the smell of Amortentia to me would be a mix between:
- Great Maiden's Blush (that's a huge rose with a great smell!); I smelt it in Villa d'Este, "near" Rome when I was there... as well as:
- Yasmin, which I don't have a reason for, I just like it
- Venkel? It's a bit of a minty smell, it would mix up great with the rest
- Forest after a good rain, but just a bit of it mixed with the rest.

And maybe also the smell of the sea, but I'm very used to that. It's not really that special. I think Amortentia has a special smell, not a usual one, something you're used to.

I like the smell of cut grass, but not overly so. I really like the smell of clean air. We usually go to Saas Fee on holidays - that's in Switzerland - and in that village, no cars are allowed to drive (and you don't need one either! it's not that big). Then you smell the forest and the flowers and everything around you and that's great! I'm not sure how that'd fit in with the above... it doesn't mix that well, I think.

Marieke

wow, hard question....
i think for mw it would be the smell of coffee ( even though i only drink cappuccinos and lattes, it's never just balck coffee for me )
and also the smell on the air after it rains and the smell of lavender candles...
oooh... the smell of new books!!!
well i think that's about it.

Your Amortentia is quite similar to mine, and yes, I agree, the smell has to be something special, sacred in a way. Mine would be the smell of clean, fresh, cool air (although there really isn't a scent) as well as the air after a thunderstorm. The smell of Jasmine is beautiful as well and the smell of delicious Italian cooking on cold nights.

Many people have listed the smell of fresh snowy days, I wish I had the oppurtunity to smell fresh fallen snow, that will never happen where I live!
I can however say the smell of warm spring nights, where a soft breeze drifts through your window and you can hear the crickets chirruping outside...
Books or parchment smell lovely as well, and crisp, clean sheets .

I quite like freshly mown grass too, along with new paper. I like the smell of vanilla scented candles too, and the smell after it rains on a sunny day, when all the steam risies up Oh, and the smell of a pepperoni pizza cooking!

I like:
-The smell of a new HP book, like when you've just got it from Amazon or Barnes and Noble, or wherever.
-The smell of chocolate cookies being baked
-The smell of that steam that comes out of the dryer (does anyone not like that?)
-The smell of this little pillow with eyes that I've had since I was 6.

For me, it would be...
1. the smell of freshly cut grass, like many other people, it seems!
2. campfire
3. white Royal Lilies (or as my dad puts it, "that stench is unbearable!")
4. cologne
5. dandelions (it's a childhood thing)
There are so many more things I can think of, the more I think...that would be boring everyone to death, tho! :-)

ooooh hard one......um i would smell the rain, freshly mowed grass, vanilla, freshly cut strawberries, wild flowers in the countryside and the air outside on a cold winter day.
but i am sure there are lots of other things but i wont write tem down to save you all!

My Armortenia would be a mix of chocolate, roses(not the chocolates the actual flower), grass(only when it has just been cut!) and the smell of my local library(I know it sounds stupid but it has a lovely book smell!!)

hahaha this thread is sweeeet

I loooove the smell of cedar, and the smell of sandalwood. yummmmm

I also love the smell of rain, it's just so fresh...

...anyways

Fuoco

smell of fresh ice? smell of *ahem* a majical herb. hahaha...smell of chinese food. mmMMMmm yummies..

I'd have to go with the smell of leather, pine, and vanilla. Maybe a little patchouli too. Mmmmm.... Why can't they make a perfume like that???

Hmmmmmm. That one is hard. But I think mine would smell like freshly cut grass, strawberries, the wind rushing on a summer day, and possibly the smell of home-made cinnamon bread.

Good question, this is hard! But fun nonetheless !!
Mine would be the smell of the ocean when the water is a bit rough, the smell of sprng ( I know vague but can't describe it) and strawberries....

I think that the scent of "Sugar Cookie" smells really good. But I also love the scent of Hawaiin Ginger. Teehee that's what I wear for perfume!

Hm...this is very hard...I am not the kind of person that remembers smells easily but i have some that are my favourite...
So, my amortentia would smell like fresh coffee (every time my mum buys coffee, i just smell it for hours. I don't know if every kind of coffee smells so nice but the one we call "greek" smells great!), then it would turn to rose smell (ah...i miss that smell. The ones i buy every once and a while from the flowerist's are very pretty and have amazing colours but they don't have a smell , which is horrible because roses are worth for their shape and their smell) and last but not least, the smell of sea (the salty one, have you ever smelt that?) and of summer in general. Yes, i'm a weirdo. I even believe that snow and winter smell.

oh this is a good thread anyway emm i think i'd smell wet dirt like when it rains that smell has always apealed to me ever since i was a little girl
i love the smell of certain guy cologne
i also love the smell of a new book lol i know it's weird but books have certain smell when their new and it's great!

Mine would smell of cinammon - that always reminds me of xmas, don't know why though. And roses - i just love their smell - how romantic of me
.X.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
mine would probably smell like my dogs- they are my world!!!!,
the beach for sure, i love it there...
and also my books!
not a day goes by where i dont read a part from a chapter of Harry Potter!!!!!

Hm....I guess I would smell:

1) Fresh rain. So pure and clean.

2) A sprinkling of Vanilla. Mmmmm I love it.

3) Rose petals fallen on damp earth. So sweet and homely.

4) The ocean. That yummy soft, salty scent.

And finally: 5) My best friend and (*ahem* secret lover although he doesn't know that I like him!!) He's got such a welcoming smell.

My amortentia would smell like...ummmm...the ocean,the sweet slaty smell.And umm...chocolate!!I love chocolate.And the smell of rain when it touches the sand.I remember when I used to stand in my window and smell the rain.Um..the smell of new books?I love flipping through the pages and smell it.lol..

Mmm, vanilla... sweet vanilla!!

And honey! with a touch of chocolate... my perfume (a Britney Spears) and I think, If I do it when I'm practicing hockey, probably sweat and dirt hahaha

I love the smell of the rain, so probably it'd be present in my potion.. I'm a water girl haha.. Mm.. I think a bit of Iris and red roses... they're my favorite flowers..

And as I like the beach, the salty sand and the smell of coconuts would be there too!!

Ok, C U later!!

I love this thread!!! ok I have 6!!

1.First would be the stuff the guy I like wears it's PoloBlue, I absolutely love that stuff to me that's what a guy should smell like
2.The smell at a highschool football game (I'm a cheerleader go figure) It's just the smell of fall and it's cold and refreshing I don't know hard to explain.
3.Cedar (it reminds me of our cabin at the lake)
4.New books, I love the smell it's great it's like the anticipation of a good story (lol don't ask I'm a goof)
5.Right before a thunderstorm ,very calming and clensing
6.Right before it snows, I LOVE snow!!!!!

-Kelso

This is pretty cool. I think mine would be the smell of the boy I like. It's not a cologne, it's just him. It'd also have the smell where you go outside on a really cold day and it just smells cold. There'd also be the smell of brownies cooking in the oven, and my cat because she has a comforting smell about her, haha. That's about it!
