Maybe you think it's odd, but I would say my favorite of the five senses would be perhaps the least valuable: smell. There's something about a certain smell that is a memory trigger and a happiness booster that the other senses just don't quite have. Here are 10 senses in particular that will surely put you in a good mood!

1. Fresh Air

Perhaps the most basic but one of the best. It's the vanilla of scents: everyone likes it all of the time. It's nothing fancy, but brings a lot of joy regardless! There's nothing quite like opening your car windows on a warm and sunny day.

2. New Sneakers

It's hard to describe the satisfaction of buying a new pair of kicks, and the smell of them just adds to the experience. There's something about it that makes shoe inflation totally worth it.

3. Fabric Softener

Is there such thing as too much fabric softener? I don't care what size my laundry load is, I fill that thing allllllll the way up. And, ok, I'll admit it, I buy those scent boosters to add to it, too. Needless to say, I'm the laundry queen.

4. Burning Charcoal

There's something about burning charcoal that brings back memories from camping and BBQ's when I was little. On my bike ride home from class everyday, I pass a restaurant that has a rich aura of fiery charcoal. It's definitely a mood booster after a long day.

5. The Ocean

Ahhh, salty ocean scent. I wish I could bottle it up and bring it home with me. It makes uneven, gritty sand seem so much comfier when napping on my towel under the sun.

6. Pine Trees

Balsam just makes me feel like adventuring through some snowy mountains. I look forward to getting my Christmas tree with my dad every year when I go home!

7. Rain

Also a classic. There's no way to describe it. It's not sweet. It's not savory. It's just...rain scent.

8. Lavender

Lavender scented things are usually pretty great, but there's nothing like the real thing. Honestly, all flowers bring joy. Need I go on?

9. Wood Chips

This is a weird one, but if you know, you know. I've also been a camp counselor for the past two years, so I'm exposed to it a lot. It reminds me of my days swinging during recess as a kid and kids yelling, "you're married!!" when I would swing at the same exact pace as the person next to me.

10. Gasoline

The one we have all been waiting for! Everyone likes the smell of it, but nobody talks about it. Well, I'm here to tell you that you are not alone and the guy that sits next to you in Econ or the woman in the cubicle next to you likes it just as much as you do. Secret's out. Enjoy your waft or two, but, ya know, don't be inhaling this stuff on a daily basis. (For obvious reasons.)

Open your nostrils to the world and get a lil bit happier!
