The scent of any citrus fruit makes me feel good and positive so I like to put a few drops of essential lemon oil in my body cream.

Would calm and relaxed be considered positive emotions? Probably not....they really aren't emotions so to speak, but the scent of fresh mint as well as the taste of it brings me to a calm and relaxed place...

@CyclingThroughLife mint is good, on lamb chops 😂😂 but mint is nice as long as it's not too strong ❤

Hi.

I think you're from England - just over the North Sea. I'm from Norway. When I was a teenager I went with my protestant church to England. We had lamb with mint-sauce there - all new for me. I like chocolate with mint-filling.

Yay, we're both Lavender people! 😀 Do you also put dried lavender in your bedroom? I used to do it but now I used the essential oil.

A rather Proustian reflex with me is tomato leaves. I discovered their smell while a child with my grandfather. I also love the smell of barns no matter what the animal is in there.

@RogueOne1983 seawater is refreshing on a hot day. But one thing I do not like is when I get it in my mouth.

@RogueOne1983 well we used to go to a beach where they disposed of waste through a pipe that went out in the ocean but that has to go somewhere.

@soulsings yeah it is fish food!

Not the toilet sewage ewww

I worked on a ship I said where is the garbage disposal? They said the fish are! We put food down the pipes it comes out the fish are following the boat waiting to eat it!

It was pretty cool!

@amiablePeace77. I love squeezing the Orange and other citrus fruit Peel and seeing the little sprays of essence shoot out . Your fingers smell like the fruit for hours .

I love that scent too! Usually I leave the citrus fruit out for a while so the room smells nicely from citrus.

The smell of cut grass = the freedom of long summer days.

The yeasty smell of baking bread = comforting safety.
