What are some of your favorite, can't be artificially reproduced, smells? I love:
Tomato leaves when you water them.
Air popper (not that microwave imposter!) popcorn.
I want to know yours!

Lilacs and peonies, summer rain, leaves burning in the fall, a new baby right after its bath, a lumber mill,

oh my, I always love these what you like type posts 
vanilla, incense, the smell of a candle just put out, old roses, the smell of autumn, the smell of the first rain after a dry spell, dark chocolate, a hot cup of tea, wood fires, the smell of horses, baking bread, tomatoes on the vine, fresh ground black pepper, lemons, old books, sawdust, and Easter lilies!
I am sure that I'll think of others as soon as I post this!

My grandma's pot roast
That new baby smell... and Dreft
That comforting smell of dinner cooking as you walk in the house on a freezing cold winter's day
Birthday cake
Fresh baked bread
Coffee
Smoke from the chimney on crisp autumn days
Wet, fallen leaves
Snow in the air
The woods, any time of year
Wet sand and ocean spray
Spring flowers
Lilacs and roses
Freshly tilled dirt in the garden
Fresh cut wood
Pine needles
Freshly picked apples and hot apple pie
Pumpkin muffins
The way the whole house smells when I make jam

I love walking through a woods in autumn right after a gentle rain...
standing on a beach and smelling the salt air...
the metallic smell just before it snows...
