BFTD Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Always liked the smell of Swarfega for some reason. Loved it when my dad would come in with greasy hands and bring the tub out from under the sink. Only just found out it's supposed to be pronounced "swarf-eager" though...I've only ever heard it referred to as "swarf-aygah" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked in an electrical factory for a bit in the late 80's, it put me right of the smell of molten solder which I liked because I like fixing electrical shit.

Scary Bear Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Came to this thread late and they've all been done.Pipe Smoke - YesBaby/Kids head after recent bath - YesFreshly laid tar - YesPetrol/Two stroke - YesSea air in the morning, usually when it's cool - YesThat Brewery smell in Edinburgh, again usually in the morning - YesFreshly cut grass on a summer morning - YesThe sweat around your bawbag area - Yes (for some ungodly reason)Campfire smoke - YesMarzipan - NoCigarette smoke - NoChippy - No. I am really going off this unhealthy past delight in general. It's right up there with Scottish football in terms of things I seem to do out of habit alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely smell it now but occasionally you do and am back in time. I remember being 6 years old and my Dad walking me through the crowds on Gorgie Road with the smell of pipe tobacco wafting about.

capybara Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 What's the smell you get in old sheds? Bit hard to describe, but it's when you've got loads of old machinery and the like. Anyway, I'll choose that smell. And if anyone can bottle it up into an eau de cologne, I'd buy it. Agree. I loved the smell on the old Glasgow Subway.
