| What smell is most pleasant to you? 15 answers we heard most. |
Candles, sprays, plug-ins, scented wax cubes, oil sticks and incense are all common household items. Scents are important to us and make our daily living more pleasant. Some smells are more popular than others and there is obviously a reason for that. We left a poll on Bath and Body Works, Bed Bath and Beyond and various home decor web forums with the question "What is your favorite smell?" Some answers were silly but not as common as the expected ones. We also took another survey from this survey that we will be posting tomorrow.
As filthy as it is, the smell of money is something people associate with success. So it's no wonder it made the list of most loved smells.

The second most popular answer was the salty ocean on a hot summer day. Ironically, we found this answer to be more popular with people who lived further from it.
1. Rain
Being mentioned twice as many times as are number 2 answer, it's clear the rain is the winner. With the ability to bring out some of the most pleasant smells from nature, this choice is a strong one.
