I haven't smoked cigarettes in over 10 years but sometimes, walking past someone lighting up can be unusually pleasant. And I seem to notice it more on a sunny day.
- I'd rank cigarette smell up there with shit or fresh vomit.CyBrainX
- Maybe it's an ex-smoker fetish.mort_
- Yeah, every now and then one smells toasty and good. Outside, from a distance, on the breeze on a summer's day. Nostalgia-inducing.Fax_Benson
- Yeah. Very different to being in a room with people smoking or being beside someone just back from their smoke break... rank!mort_
- I did a job in LA once and smoked hundreds of Parliament Lights. Smelling one of those on a hot dry day takes me straight backDaveO

- i'll never understand the italian vs french thingscarabin
- Basically the same thing, perhaps different ratios, and use of butter versus olive oil. Both delicious ;)Nairn
- I make a large batch of a soffritto-based sauce to freeze for my daughter each month and use less celery as it can be a bit hectic.Nairn
- No i mean my italian friend hates the french and i get the sense it’s a back-and-forth cultural thing for themscarabin
- I thought your mention of soffrito was a reference to this rivalry and i was thinking out loud so to speakscarabin
- Oh yes, everyone in Europe hates everyone else. It took me many years to realise it wasn't just us Brits... .Nairn
- IT gf speaks four languages and uses them for work. The disgust she feels when she has to go to France is delectable.

The smell of a good fragrance on someone you like is pretty special. It ties that scent to that person and when you catch it somewhere it takes you back.
The smell of hyper masculine fragrances, combined with cigarette smoke always takes me back to my dad's local pub...
