Time for some random fun in the lounge. Hopefully Harry Potter fans will recognize the title and give this thread some attention.

So, I believe it was in the 6th book, where this love potion was introduced. I'm not going to ask who do you use the love potion on. But, according to Hermione's description, the potion smells different to everyone. It always smells like the things that person loves.

So my questions are:

1) What are some scents that you love?
2) What do those scents represent to you? (besides the obvious physical object that emits that scent)
3) What do you think that says about you as a person?

[B]1)[/B] Just a few: I love the smell of campfire, herbs/spices, fresh stationary paper, and certain types of cologne.

[B]2)[/B] With campfire, I always imagine Fall & Winter night times. I don't really do a lot of camping and never had a chimney in my home, but the holidays always come to mind when I think about that.

Herbs & spices always remind me of different places like Africa or Mexico. I'm not really sure why on that one either.

Stationary paper reminds me, of all things, cucumbers (which happen to be one of my favorite vegetables. (Am I the only one that thinks paper smells like cucumbers. Paper also reminds me of success. Weather that has to do with money being made out of paper or just the prospect of achieving wealth due to something on paper, I don't know.

And there are certain types of cologne that remind me of the ocean or the sky. Obviously, I love skydiving and I love the ocean so just getting that feeling of being on the beach (even thought I'm not fond of it) or flying through the air is always a nice sentiment.

[B]3)[/B] Maybe I'm just taking a shot in the dark here, but I think it means I'm a person who likes to travel. I know I want to see the world some day and places like Africa are definitely on my list. I think it means I'm an adventurous person who has a calm and sensitive side. I think it also says I'm very communicative through many different mediums, and I love the prospect of wealth. (As long as it's achieved through fair and rewarding means) But I also think it says that I'm more of a loner... I don't know. Lastly, I think it says that I'm a person who loves his family. Even if I don't get along with them, being reminded of night time holiday seasons makes me think of relaxing evenings at home just being happy without having to do anything special.

Okay, so go ahead... And don't be afraid to state what you love. (Trust me, my cousin loves the smell of gasoline. I kinda worry about her for that one) I've heard just about all of them.

1: I really love the smell of Ajax, Clorox, and any kind of bleach. Also, I love the smell of gasoline and sharpies.
2: Um...................I'm not sure exactly. The smell is just clean is all.:animeswea
3: It says that I'm a clean person, I guess. I'm bright and happy!!![/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]1) What are some scents that you love? Rain on pavement, plumeria blossoms strung around the neck, and fresh lavender bouquets strung up around the kitchen.

2) What do those scents represent to you? (besides the obvious physical object that emits that scent) It means that the cold season has come, and it's time to snuggle in bed with your nearest and dearest or get out sewing projects and start making quilts. Plumeria means that I'm in Hawaii again, or another tropical place, which means I have the free money to enjoy myself again without stressing about funds. Lavender means that it's summertime or early fall and we can begin to make sachets by weaving the blossoms with pink and purple ribbons.

3) What do you think that says about you as a person? I think I like flowers. Maybe it's a sign...

It was the Half Blood Prince. Or as I know it, Green book.[/FONT][/COLOR]

1. I like the smell of my friends' pillows, rain on dirt, canned dog food and meat.

2. The pillow scents remind me of my friends, the smell of rain on dirt reminds me of my childhood in Texas, canned dog food just smells appealing (not to mention I expose myself to it every morning when I feed it to my puppy!), and I LURVS DA MEEEAT!!!

3. I adore my friends, I may actually have fond-ish memoties of my being 5 years old, I have odd taste in canned food products, and being a carnivore makes me happy.
