Rh's post made me think what my fave smells are. Grass, petrol, that smell just before it rains and stale beer and fans such as the smell that might blast out of an 80s pub as you were walking past are my favorites
Always love petrol:-). Out of interest, and not sure how right it is, I read once that the smell and the taste of coffee, go different ways on your taste buds and olfactory. So, it isn't at all unusual for people to prefer the smell to the taste.
