    Oh, cinnamon always reminds me of Christmas… love that spice.

    • Shelley Munro

      Me too. Cinnamon, nutmeg and similar scents are an immediate hit of Christmas.

  2. Mr Munro

    You like peppermint that much? ;)

    • Shelley Munro

      Yes, I do, smartass ;)

    I love the smell of babies, the sun on my skin and sea air!

    • Shelley Munro

      Ooh, sea air. That’s a good one. The scent of fish and chips always spins off sea air for me.

  4. Mary Kirkland

    My favorites are…
    Honeysuckle
    Cotton Candy
    Gum Balls
    my rats- *they smell like warm corn tortillas*

    • Shelley Munro

      Honeysuckle is a good one. Warm tortillas for rats, huh? I’ll have to check that one out.

  5. CountryDew

    I’m with you on all but the coconut oil. That is not a favorite!

    • Shelley Munro

      LOL – Coconut oil always reminds me of the islands and tropical winds.

  6. Eva Millien

    Strawberry & Lemons

    • Shelley Munro

      Love the scent of fresh strawberries, Eva. Hubby has planted our strawberries and I’m waiting impatiently for the warmer weather.

    I’d leave out the tomatoes and insert freshly cut apple (or hot apple pie). And I love the smell of strawberries, sealing wax, mock orange and old bookshops.
