There's new research from the University of Wisconsin that shows the mood you're in can influence what you think about a certain smell. If you're grumpy and you smell pizza, you may find the smell of pizza annoying, even though you might usually find it enjoyable. This got me thinking (which can be dangerous), what are some of your favorite smells?

The smell/mood study appeared in Men's Health, but instead of your mood influencing  how you perceive a smell, what smells can change your mood? What are some of your favorites? What smells do you find repulsive? Is there a smell that makes you feel a certain way?

I love the smell of fresh brewed coffee, a tobacco pipe, a fresh Christmas tree, cooking bacon, sautéing onion and garlic, sunscreen, and a nice perfume on a woman. These all take me to my happy place.

What about you? Cindy and I are discussing this morning on the show. Call us at 320-252-9897, or comment on the 98 Country Facebook page.
