Talking awww paper

Does anyone besides me like the smell of paper? I think they should make a air freshener out of it or somthing. I just love that smell when you open up a new wall calander or a magazine. fordguy101

No the greatest smell which is not really a smell at all is when walking into a walk-in freezer and getting a good wiff of the cold crisp air...Ahhhh, nothing better

Actually, that's not the paper you are smelling.
It is the ink.
Being a printer, you learn these things. Soy ink is known to have an odor. (To me, it is a 'sweet' smell.) The smell or odor is much more obvious than oil based or rubber based inks.

And yes, the smell is intoxicating!!!

I can remember in High School when we would get the papers that were run through the mimiograph(?) machine. They always had a strong smell of amonia.

The only time I seen the smell of paper being popular is when Playboy introduced the Scratch and Sniff Center Fold.

Another nice smell is of freshly cut wood on a table saw, expecially if you're cutting a lot of pine or oak.

Some of my generic smells (not smells like Grandma's house, etc., but that everyone knows): freshly cut wood/sawdust, gasoline, diesel fuel, permanent markers, and... err.... my "own brand" (austin powers...."Everyone loves their own brrrand!")
