lemongrass and orange OR lemongrass and coconut combos....it smells just like you have scrubbed everything thoroughly and fresh spring air is billowing in all around a cool crisp quiet tidy house in the country.....and since I am a mega-clean freak, this pleases me to NO end! :-)

in the winter:
baking bread
good strong scent of gourmet coffees

The smell of a baby freshly bathed and lotioned in baby lotion...that is perhaps one of them most mommy-intoxicating smells that exists! ;-) I miss it terribly!

Clothes just come off the line outside
My kids, even when they stink (lol)
Vanilla
and a strange one for ya... unleaded fuel. I always loved that smell.
Oh and Bergamot, as far as natural fragrances are concerned or those aromatherapy oils go, Bergamot is my fave.
I love it when I walk into a room and one of my kids are peeling an orange or lemon.
I used to love the smell of my kids heads when they were babies, they smelled so sweet, even before a bath (and after a diaper change ;)).

Any kind of pumpkin or pumpkin spice candle when it's fall
my boys when they were babies and I used Johnson's baby lotion after bath
chocolate
real Christmas trees (even though we don't have one now, I did growing up)

Basil - don't know what it is, but the stuff relaxes me and I just love the smell of it!

The beach - brings back really great memories

the ocean
these little sage soaps I used to get (but the store has gone :( )
honey calendula lotion by Kiss My Face
fresh orange
fresh lime, lemon
wood fire, wood stove, etc.
autumn leaves, especially from maple trees, when they are all piled up, or a bunch on the sidewalk that you walk and crunch through [sniff sniff....ahhhh!]

drakkar men's cologne (as cliche as it is)
tova and tova nights perfume
love's baby soft
babies, of course
