Between the religion threads, the dating, sex and racist threads we´re going to take NSG to an early demise. Isn´t something else there that we can discuss that doesn´t involve sex, religion, the proverbial god and race?
Yes, yes there is.

Whatcha smell like?

right now I smell like....puke, hubby is sick :( (yes, I took a shower, and yes, I still smell it)

Usually I smell like lavender and tea tree oil.

I hope Nanatsu is happy.

I smell like sweet basil and madness. *nod*

Liar. You smell of greasepaint and rubber and everyone knows it!

Bath & Body Works Midnight Pomegranate. Sometime The Body Shop's Ananya, or a local metaphysical stores' (sadly out of business) Geisha. Or sandalwood

I smell like tea-tree oil because I just took a shower and washed my hair. Mmm so silky smooth...:fluffle:

Not right now. I'm cooking. :)

I've recently showered, so I smell like soap, mostly. My feet smell slightly like soap, with a bit of something (possibly leather) thrown in, and my hair smells like wet hair.
Also, congratulations, you just managed to make me spend several minutes holding the bottom of my right foot up to my face. Only three other people can make that claim, and one of them got a kick in the balls for his trouble.

Lucky for me I have no balls. :cool:

... hmm...
a sharp, tangy smell slightly on the sour side. (been moving HEAVY printers so I'm kinda sweaty)

It was worth it. :)

chlorine and cocoa butter.

i swim every day and it dries out my skin.

Roaches, mayonnaise, and barbecue sauce.

You're cooking too, eh? ;)

I smell like smoke.

Don't ask.

My kids think I am a ATM machine. So I must smell like crisp 20's. Other than that I smell a bit of cologne.

You're cooking too, eh? ;)

Well, baking, yes. But the odd thing is that my torso just smells like mayo. I mean, I haven't touched the stuff in, oh, three days or so. I'm wondering if someone soaked me in my sleep...

currently? Armani Code.

<.<

Naw.


:D

I smell like dried sweat, cotton and lavender hand soap. I need a shower. :(

Hmm... are you a white child? My bf claims that all little white kids smell like mayonnaise and bologna. I don't know, don't ask me how his mind works.

I've noticed that all kids smell like peanut butter.

I take shower once a day when I'm at home, and twice a day when I have to work, and the only same piece of clothing I wear more than one day is pants. And since I don't use any stuff that smells more than a couple of minutes after I step out of the shower, I don't think I smell much of anything most of the time.

But right now, I smell a lot like pizza. Oh God, why did I have to eat it all. Why can't I control myself. :(

I smell like Lavender and Vanilla... which is actually not a good scent. Combined together, it sort of smells like diaper. But I have to finish using this body wash because I'm a college student and therefore cannot afford to throw stuff away just because it smells funny! D:

rain and prestige

But, without Dating, Sex, or Racism....Smells will die off :(

I smell like me with just a hint of garlic.

Normally? Old Spice and Honduran cigars. Or any kind of cigar really, if I can't get Hondurans.

If I get caught in the rain though, I tend to smell like a wet dog.

Sweat, most likely. It's like 100 degrees down here.

I don't know as I just came out of the shower and applied deodorant. That and I actually can't smell... so.

Yes, yes there is.

Smell? What is this...smell? I have no idea what that is.

(Seriously, I have no idea, seeing as my sense of smell is very...minute.)

My kids think I am a ATM machine.

You mean, parents AREN'T cash machines?! :eek:


I smell like what I've just been cooking (and eating), but generally I just smell of pineapple.

Garlic.

My son smells of tea tree oil. It is supposed to repel headlice. Apparently nobody has told the headlice.....

Accounting.

I smell like white chocolate mocha (shower gel), rain with a hint of sea salt and vodka (face wash stuff)

would anyone like to guess what I taste like?

give him a skin head so all his friends know :)

This thread smells like...victory!
and i smell like um...i don't know what i smell like.
I think the sense of smell is a very odd sense to have, sight is pretty important, touch again important, sound important, taste important, but smell? what use is that?

Right now I smell of sweat and beer.

Not the nicest combination but in my defence, I only got back from teaching a karate class just in time to watch the United Barca game and haven't had time to shower yet.

I smell like old spice, because I ran out of deodorant and have been mooching off my hubbie's until I get to the store.

Smell allows you to perceive something as inedible before consuming it. For example, without a sense of smell, how would you know that dog shit tastes bad? I seriously doubt many people have tasted it.

Smell also enhances the sense of taste, thus giving more fulfillment. Certain types of food have no taste if you don't smell them, although take this with a grain of salt as I cannot mention them right now.

Smell warns you that the air you're breathing may be toxic in certain cases. Granted, not every toxin can be smelled, but not every poison can be tasted either.

Thusly, people without a sense of smell generally don't live as long because they only get a warning about bad food after eating it. Bad meat might look fine, but smelling it can reveal serious defects.

So we can detect silent things out of the range of vision without having to be touching them or licking them.

Such as food, predators, mates, diseased bodies, etc.

Hold your nose and you can't taste the difference between raw apple and raw potato.

but potatoes are so much tougher in texture to apples, and they have a different sort of skin.
It's far easier to bite through an apple than a potatoe therefore you can taste the difference even if you hold your nose.

Try a cube of slice potatoe and a cube of sliced apple. The texture is slightly different but they taste exactly the same with no sense of smell.

that's not taste but texture.

what you do is skin both apple and potato, and cut out a small wedge of the same size from both. then taste both with your nose plugged up.

All my other points still stand. How would you know dog shit tastes bad without a sense of smell? How would you know the air around you is stuffed with sulphur?

On topic, I don't know what I smell like. I think that's a bad thing, but ack, I don't care.

JuNii is right about texture.

I wonder if y'all are confusing taste and flavour?
There will certainly be taste if you hold your nose but no flavour.

I think of taste as being attributes like salt, bitter, sweet etc which are also there (as well as texture) when you hold your nose.
Flavour is due to aromatic compounds.

to get quickly back on topic, i smell of neither of apple nor potato...faint smell of fabric conditioner is all i can pick up right now :)

But i class texture under taste because the two are inseperable for me.
and seeing as my sense of smell is really bad, i rely on texture more than what my taste buds tell me.

For example, i would not like to eat a chicken milkshake, yet a roasted chicken tastes nicer, the main thing that has changed is the texture. is that clearer?

see above but thanks anyway.

So you agree that smell is an important sense?

Not as important than the other ones, but probably better to keep it than lose it i imagine.

Walked into that one.

i smell of a days work and melted cheese.

I smell like one of Lolita Lempicka´s perfumes. I don´t recall its name, all I know is the bottle is gorgeous and it comes in an orange box.

Awww, Dyakovo smells like a trimmer. It's ok, you can take a bath and everything will be alright.

Maple syrup. I spilled some on my arm

Well mostly I smell like me, but sometimes I smell like sage, and sometimes I smell like coconut and sometimes I smell like satsuma. But mostly just me. I don't know, ask Sumamba what that smells like.

I smell of fear and desperation.......and pizza

I smell like bleenies!!!!!!!!!!! yum. I have to go wipe the grease off the ceiling of the kitchen now.

What are bleenies?

I suppose right now I smell like baked salmon, and beef stew. I've been cooking for the past couple of hours.

At the moment, I smell like a library, with slight hints of sweat and kiwi.

Don't ask. :p

i smell of chicken casserole (leeks, celery, carrot, bouquet garni and a little tomato paste). It was good!
