Certain smells can remind you of of a time or place. Maybe your childhood, or someone you know. Or your grandma's cooking. Smells can really impact our thoughts. Some smells are good...and remind of of good things, and then there are the bad ones. Here are some of the smells that we love and hate the most. Let me know if your likes and dislikes match up.

A new survey found the ten smells people love most are:

  • Fresh baked bread... this reminds me of my childhood, walking to school and stopping in at Wagner's Bakery for a pastry and smelling the bread that was baking.
  • Bacon...yup!
  • Fresh cut grass...reminds me of spring and summer!
  • Coffee...sometimes I think coffee smells better than it tastes! I've heard people say they love the smell of coffee but don't like the taste.
  • A cake baking...this is why I buy candles that smell like a cake is baking.
  • The ocean...this may be my favorite scent of all.
  • Clothes right out of the dryer...I like when you can smell someone doing laundry even when you're outside!
  • Meat cooking..nothing like the smell of steaks on the grill, and that's what I'll be doing this weekend!
  • Fried food...honestly not a fan!
  • Fresh flowers...I take a walk everyday and right now a few people on my street have lilac trees that have bloomed. The smell is amazing!
  • The ten smells we hate the most are: (these are all pretty gross and self explanatory!)
  • Garbage cans
  • Drains
  • Body odor
  • Sewage
  • Vomit
  • Spoiled milk
  • Rotting food
  • Public bathrooms
  • Dirty diapers
  • Old shoes
  • I'd like to add two of the smells that I hate the most! Mine are all of the above and the following:
  • High school boys football jerseys! Any mother of a football player can relate!
  • Decaying animal...my sweet cat Sterling loves to kill animals and bring them to me as a present. If you don't realize he left one on the back patio for a day or two, well the smell is horrific!

What are some of your favorite and least favorite smells?
