I'm sure there will be some lure/bait answers, but what is the smell that hits you deep? If you were a wooman (spelling intentional) trying to court me, bathe yourself in Hoppes #9, or (a close 2nd) boiled linseed oil.

Rain, puppy breath, shotgun that has just been fired, campfire, my dog's head, waxing traps, freshly brewed coffee, back straps on the grill, the prairie on a crisp morning.

Bacon frying,
Damp musty smell of leaves in the fall,
The Sulphur smell of a long awaited rain.

I'll second or third the smell of just-fired shotgun shells.

Baking bread.

Freshly cut grass.

Line-dried clothes.

Wet leaves in fall.


Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.
