I was just talking to Jack Hise regarding his post about recipes & I said that even though not a recipe, I love the aroma of bacon & eggs cookin’ outside on a cool crisp morning.
What are some of your favorites? Fresh cut Christmas trees, cut grass, rain? Let’s hear 'em!

cedar and evening campfires
Fresh cut alfalfa hay.the smell of rain.
Dry leaves on the forest floor in late fall.
And a nice warm campfire on a cool evening.

The only limitations we have are the ones we put on ourselves.
Sagebrush after a rain shower.

I’m with ohiotuber. The aroma of bacon and eggs over an open campfire is hard to beat! Throw in fresh brewed coffee with cool morning air and it’s heaven! Ron
The smell of cedar or pine,the smell of a campfire and coffee on the fire.Lest we forget the sound of the rain on my tent roof and the breeze rustling through the trees.
After reading the post it sounds like we’re all a bunch of Romantics.
Sagebrush after a rain, coffee in the morning fresh on the stove or fire, pine forest after a rain, etc.,etc.,
Grass or alfalfa, fresh cut set of the hayfever, no matter how good they smell, darn it!

I vote for teasels 
The smell of balsam after a summer rain.
The smell of saltwater because it is evocative of so many wonderful times past and there is nothing that I like as much as the ocean.
And in winter, Fox Urine, 'cause then I know I’m out in the woods.

I like the smell of the gas/oil mix from a boat on a cool spring morning…
And the smell of the lake just after a summer rain
The smell of coal burning, wisping through the bitter cold winter breeze from a neighbor down the road. He has a genuine working blacksmith shop. The building is native stone with a cedar roof. There are probably not many of us left who remember heating the home with coal, my job as a child was to get the clinkers out of the furnace. The smell brings back some fond memories of days from the past. , I
The smell of hickory burning, just after a cold, damp rain…or a cool, foggy morning.
Bacon n eggs without question.How do I like em??. ANYWAY you make em!! Even the smoke in your eyes from the woodfire add to the high.
And, in second place, I agree on the after rain sagebrush. Perfume of the plaines.

PS: And didja ever accidentally tred over a wild strawberry patch???
I’d rather be in Wyoming!
For me it’s two smells that linger in my memories and make me think of happy times:
The smell of a freshly opened jar of salmon eggs, preferably Pautzke’s Balls of Fire, 70’s vintage. Ahhhh, to be a naive kid again.
The smell of the old brands of fly dope that had TCE or some other type of solvent in them. Call me crazy but just opening the jar made me think fishing.
Now days it’s just the smell of clean air and fresh water.
To add to my own…the smell of beef brisket being cooked for 10 hours or so in my smoker over charcoal, hickory, & apple juice. This is an aroma that WILL be wafting around Kneff Lake one night, ALL night, during our Michigan Fish-in.

Now there’s something I hadn’t thought of in a long while…
the smell of Old Time Woodman’s fly dope
a scent that can’t help but remind you of fishing and camping.
free to fish without police supervision
When You get up before anybody else quietly sneak out onto the lake theres the smell and feel of the fog and the water .
At the other end of the spectrum is the ride home and your brother in law just spent three days eating chilli and drinking beer .
Gnu Bee !!! LoL …
My ex-wife didn’t like the “smell of the woods” when I’d get home. … I couldn’t understand why, …
Then one day I realized she was smelling the diesel fuel, hydrolic oil and luma-gel (napalm) that would always be on my clothes.

The sense of smell is one of the most powerful of the senses imho.The smell of a cheap cigar brings back memories of Doc Russell a really bad dentist ,but amazing Musky hunter. He’s been gone for 25 years,but the whiff of an old stogie still brings back a flood of good thoughts from my childhood.
