Spent gunpowder and Hoppe’s #9. That is the smell of a good day of quail hunting.

Anything to do with horses…dried manure, saddle leather, wet saddle blankets, even the smell of hay and sweet feed. A close secound is the smell of a rough framed house, before the exterior doors, windows, and roofing are installed.

cleaning the stable and spreading fresh straw, baling hay, the smell of your horse to name a few……….

Chainsaws and deisel fuel. My dad was a logger so anytime I am around those scents I think of him.

yes, Bay Rum. That’s one of the main ingredients in making a barber shop smell manly!

And gun cleaning solvents. Unfortunately, they changed the formula of Hoppie’s 9 some years ago and it dosen’t smell the same any more. Something about the EPA found one of the ingredients bad for the health or something like that.

Yup, Old Spice! I use it evry day.

My dad grew up on a farm before rural electricity and forever after loved the smell of a kerosene lamp in action.

Never tried Old Spice cologne before, but Chaps by Ralph Lauren is really cheap and incredibly manly.

Stick welding. That is one manly smell. Nothing can match the characteristic odor of 6011 and the hum of the ol’ Lincoln buzz-box.

Here’s a smell that’s hardly ever smelt these days. Probably because it’s illegal but I loved the smell of burning leaves in the Autumn. It’s a shame kids these day won’t get to experience it.

JTT, you mentioned jet exhaust and that’s one of the best. It has a smell and taste that I’ll never forget. Here’s one that may be familiar to a few folks out there. The smell of a naval warship. Not the cruise line kind of “boat” but a ship built for combat. The mixture of oil, grease, exhaust and layer after layer of paint can’t be beat. I’m sure that smell also brings back some bad memories to some but not for me. It always takes me back to when I was a young Seaman walking up to my first real Navy duty station. That ship seemed massive and had a life of it’s own.

Robert Carter. Bacon, yes! And I love the smell of old churches. I agree, real men go to church. It’s a manly thing to do, (unless your church sings modern, girly praise songs, just my opinion).
