What’s your favourite smell?

Do you just love the smell of rain? How about when you walk pass the bakery and catch a whiff of freshly baked bread? Mmm…yummy.

If you love these smells, you’re not alone. According to a survey involving 2,000 people, freshly-baked bread came out tops. In fact, it even beat the irresistible aroma of bacon, freshly-cut grass and coffee to be at the top of the list of 50 favourite smells.

The top 10 included cakes baking in the oven, the seaside, freshly laundered clothes, fish and chips and fresh flowers.

However, don’t be surprised as some stranger smells also made it to the list like log fires, fresh paint, petrol and matches.
