285 A Form Of Huffing.
I used to collect Star Wars figures. I found the smell of the drying paint and vinyl quite intoxicating, as did some of my contemporaries. After a while we realized that our desire to sniff new action figures was a mild for of huffing. The smell of freshly opened toy gives a feeling of euphoria to a lot of collectors. It doesn’t make it less weird, but at least a person can find some small comfort in knowing they aren’t alone in their weirdness.
Stumble it!

Whats really fun is if you paint miniatures but fail to notice the proper ventilation warning on the can of primer ^^;
Also, as Nina smells like candy I can see where her clothes would have such an affect on small forest creatures like Brook.

Hehe. I’ve got a few friends like that. I remember the one day where me and my brother sat down and decided what all the people we worked with smelled like. We came up with some interesting smells.

Crave: Freshly sharpened pencils… Oh yeah.

You should put “Nina scented” air fresheners in your shop. They’ll sell like hotcakes!

@ viuey_visarelli: mmm books. old books are better.
i also like the smell of my new ipod. IT SMELLS NEW. new electronics smell good…..
Crave: I feel slighted. My iPod didn’t smell like anything… Maybe because it’s a little one.

Smells are nice ^.^ Pencil smell good, but gasoline makes me feel dizzy, nauseas. Like I’m gunna pass out. I like the smell of bacon, new stuff, letters and picking out the different smells of other peoples family and houses.

Love Brooksie’s eye in the first one. Looks so bright and lively.
I love smelling things too, like new books. First thing I do with a new book is open it to the middle, stuff my nose in it, and take a deep breath. Same with CDs, I remove the little book/cover thingy, open it and smell. The sense of smell is a very powerful sense indeed.

I love the smell of a freshly broken Microsoft Seal on an XBox 360 case… and for that matter the smell of brand new instruction manual…. o_o …
Usually while I’m coming home from GAME with new purchases, I open them up to sniff the manuals….. on the bus…. in front of everyone.
