  1. Because i love the ritual of opening anything and opening a new can of paint excites not only the mind but the senses aswell

    The smell everytime i open a can of enamel reminds me of melting wax crayons on cast iron radiators as a kid

    That memory trip back is worth the effort on its own

  6. Woke up with a banging headache this morning as paradox left a new can of paint open in the kitchen last night.

    Hopefully the ibuprofen will kick in soon. :)

  7. He was obviously enjoying the smell a little too much. Is he on the kitchen floor, knocked out with the fumes?!
    Hope your head feels better soon.

  8. I too have a liking for creosote as it reminds me of my dad who used to come home quite often stinking of the stuff.
    Another weird smell from my childhood is chicory as we used to have a chicory factory in the next town - no smell like it but who uses chicory these days?

    The smell of an old shed with all sorts of tins in - you can't beat it!
     
  10. A green house with loads of gorgeous smelling tomatoes reminds me of my grandads brother "uncle graham" as he used to grow the most delicious toms.... looove the smell of vine ripened tomatoes... Yum
     
  11. Love the smell of creosote too. Haven't done it for a while but I couldn't walk past a newly creosoted fence without stopping and smelling it. It doesn't bring back any memories or anything, I'm just a bit odd I guess :D.

  16. Love the smell off fresh tar, love it when you can smell it when the roofers are doing a flat roof...

    I hate the smell off Farts in school. Most come from me.
