smell

Not totally sure this is the right sub-forum for this but... I have just managed to get hold of a book I was after*. It's twenty years old and in damn near perfect condition except it's obviously been stored somewhere a bit damp and smells musty. (Some of the pages were stuck together at the...

Ok, I'm really hoping I'm not the only one here. I have a couple of t-shirts that I've consistently worn while playing sport or working out that, well, they now have really smelly armpits under the sleeves. I could lie and blame a friend, but I'm being honest, it's me. You can't tell they...

Ok, I think very first post was about this, but it was worded really stupidly and I got skewered for it. One time, many, many years ago I went through this brief period (about a half hour) where my sense of smell increased dramatically. It was like having a new sense altogether. It was sort...

Anyone (UK) see the TV programme last night of the same title? Looked interesting. A couple of things struck me. The reaction of some in the scientific community seemed to me to bordering on cynicism rather than skeptcism. Seems to me some of them had a bit of a closed mind about something...

If no distinctive smells are around and you sniff you smell nothing (or so it seems). You're smelling that atmosphere I guess, 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen and all that stuff. Then a smell appears. Suppose someone brings a hot pizza into the room. You smell pizza. But what is it that you're...

"A South Dakota couple makes and markets candles they say smell like Jesus. You can find candles with just about every fragrance imaginable, from blueberry to ocean mist to hot apple pie. Now there's a candle that lets you experience the scent of Jesus, and they've been selling out by the...

I smelt of a glass of eggnog(a nasty sounding drink I don't consume) and it smelt faintly like acetone. Why?

I smell a Conspiracy! Well, actually a whole heap of ‘em. I’m not sure if this link’s ever been posted here but it is one of the most entertaining I’ve found in some time. Conspiracy Planet Here’s a small sample…. Of course 9/11 is fodder for so many conspiracies but I like...

... a senator! :p

They had a free aromatherapy class at out library. We enjoyed the smells, but the claims were not substantiated; the guy claiemd results from his own personal experience. Is it bunk, as i suspect?

Why do homeopathic 'medicines' smell? Some years ago I went to a famous, well-recommended (and very wealthy) homeopath. I was given a little bottle of Loranthus, derived from mistletoe, I was told. Three drops of this was to be added to a small glass of water and sipped at bedtime. I must...

It just snowed here again (yes, in April, you get used to it), and I was wondering as I trudged to class what causes the distinct snow smell. My guess is it has something to do with sublimation, because you can't smell the snow on a very very cold day, IIRC. But I may be remembering the hits...
