Those lovely damp late evenings in Summer just after the first hay cut. (you'll think i'm nuts for this one) The smell of Jeyes Fluid. And the inside of old petrol Land Rovers, anyone whose owned one will know what I mean. Pet hate - Garlic breath - Yuk! S.

I love the smell of a baby, just after a bath. I love the smell of fresh, clean air in the mountains near me, especially in the fall, when the leaves have just fallen. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke. I hate the smell of petrol.

I also love the smell of a baby, especially freshly bathed and powdered (but it must be Johnson's baby powder), bacon cooking, fresh bread, fresh cut grass, Autumn mornings. I hate garlic breath, diesel fumes and, since I gave up smoking last April, stale cigarette smoke. Yuk, did I really smell like that? Sue

Lynne are your local farmers putting the sludge that comes from the sewage farms on their fields? Our local ones got paid to spread it a couple of years ago - it came in tipper lorries and by golly did it hum! Sue

I like the smell of clean babies, fresh bread, clean washing, newly cut grass and Autumn. Hate the smell of dogs, cheesey feet, Bachelors super noodles, fried food on peoples clothes and the bloke that goes in the newsagents who always wears shorts even in the middle of winter! Have you also noticed that you go off/are attracted to certain smells when you're pregnant? I still can't stand the smell of Obsession perrfume and it's 15 years since I had my first baby. Just a little whiff of it and I could heave - think it reminds me of morning sickness. On the other hand with my 2nd daughter I had a thing about sniffing roll mop herrings and I don't even like them. I'm pleased to say that one has worn off. Jeanette

When I was pregnant I loved the smell of Lysol disenfectant and Zest lemon soap. My mouth would water so much I had to hold myself back from tasting them! Hate the smell of our tent, first time it goes up every year.
