what are your favourite smells?

I love the smell of curry. It's nostalgic. There's also the scent of fish that I enjoy, both raw and cooked, which hilariously to me many people find off-putting. Vanilla makes me think of my boyfriend, so I find it calming. There are very few smells that you can find outside a kitchen that I will love or count among my 'favourite'. The closest is Irish Spring soap.

This is such perfumista-bait, I love this question! Sit down darlings, we are going to be her for quite a while! I am a huge fan of gourmand perfumes, so most of my favourite scents are food-related - chocolate, cherry, and vanilla are my main gourmand faves. I also like florals, especially rose and violet, and some more spicy/incense-y notes like frankincense and sandalwood. (This is why my perfume sample collection is so big, I like too many scents!)
