Why do people's houses have their own unique smell?

[Anonymous]

Every noticed That, for example there's such thing as an old lady smell and usually old people's houses smell like It, but people's houses have their own unique smell, just how outside has it's own smell, ever had someone enter your house from outside and you get that big wiff of outsideness, it's all always a smell you can't really describe as well

[Genie23]

Mmmm... that got me thinking for a while... Maybe it's because of the mixture of room freshners, perfume they wear, laundry detergent, fabric softener, scented floor cleaner and surface cleaners, food that's been cooking/cooked with windows close and all? 🤨🤔

Mine will mostly smell like lavenders (floral of other kinds too) or lemon because that's the scented cleaner I use for my home in a large quantity..😐

[Asker]

By large quantity do you mean you mean you put the whole thing? 🤣

[StudyingAuthor]

lol, I don't think that's what she meant.

[Asker]

Then almost all of it 🙃

[StudyingAuthor]

That's still not what she means!

[Asker]

You don't know what she means 😂

[StudyingAuthor]

I'm taking a wild guess that might be more accurate than yours.

[Asker]

Oh so you enjoy losing bets I see, very Well, we will see 😌

[StudyingAuthor]

When she tells us who is right I will give you 10 bucks. And I'm not giving you that million you asked for a couple of days ago... I need that million to build my roller caster.

[Asker]

Roller caster must be the bootleg roller coaster, it's the "we got a roller coaster at home" type of coaster, the budget roller coaster that you couldn't effort the O in coaster

[StudyingAuthor]

Bruh... It's my money, my choice. Just another science experiment.

[Asker]

Your science experiments don't sound like science experiments lol

[StudyingAuthor]

They are science experiments. I want to see what the reaction is to things. So I'm blowing my money on a coaster.

[Asker]

Sounds like quite the experiment, just don't flu off it younglin

[StudyingAuthor]

by the way, I think we're blowing up this poor lady's notifs.

[Asker]

Fly*

[Asker]

Yea poor chachachachia

[StudyingAuthor]

lol, I won't fly off. I'm a good younglin. 🙂

[Asker]

If you are small you are flying off

[StudyingAuthor]

I'm skinny small. I weigh 98 to 102 pounds, and I'm like 5 foot 2. I'm 15 inches at the widest part of my body lmao.

[StudyingAuthor]

15 inches measured all around.

[Asker]

I think you are gonna fly off, I'm pretty convinced lol

[StudyingAuthor]

No I'm not, lol, it would be tailored to me.

[Asker]

What does that even mean and how would that even happen 😂

[StudyingAuthor]

I'm building my roller coaster, so I can make it as big or as small as I want.

[Asker]

I thought you were gonna buy it with the million dollars 💀

[StudyingAuthor]

No, lol, I can ride any roller coaster and not fly off.

[Asker]

I don't believe that, we will have to agree to disagree on that younglin 😂

[StudyingAuthor]

What? I've ridden on dozens of roller coasters and never flown off! Lmfao.

[Asker]

There's always a first time younglin 👀

[StudyingAuthor]

lol, you fear the worst in life... Take a risk!

[Asker]

I've taken enough risks in life, I'll pass 😂

[StudyingAuthor]

What risks? You just like being safe in the comfort of a riskless life. Next is what? You won't have children?

[Asker]

Real risks, not roller coaster risks 😂

[Asker]

And what does having children have anything to do with risk 😂

[StudyingAuthor]

Lol, you have to think about people like me. Your children would be a money drain, and brats like wise to myself who will then do the same as I, talking about sex, and cursing like a sailor outside of your presence.

[StudyingAuthor]

But you have to take a risk to try to raise good people.

[Asker]

Probably but I'm old school, I'll whoop their ass if I gotta, a technique learned from the older generations lol

[StudyingAuthor]

Lol, getting your ass whooped still doesn't change minds. They'll continue if they think they can get over you.

[Asker]

I guess that depends on how hard you hit them don't you think 😂

[StudyingAuthor]

Nah, I could get my ass whooped until I got bruises and still do what I did. (I gotta tell you what I'm referencing in private.)

[Asker]

Sounds like child abuse to me

[StudyingAuthor]

not really...

[Beckybooboo]

My place smells like pine 🌲…I have a friend, her place smells like they have “Fish Fry Friday” every night of the week. If you spend more than five minutes in her place, the smell gets embedded in your clothes and hair! It’s funny, if I had been at her place, when I get home and hug my boyfriend, he’ll ask, “we’re you by Carol’s? Your hair smells like fish and chips”! 😂😂

[Asker]

What does Carol do in that house? Fry fish all day? 😂

[OddBeMe]

Humans.

We have a cat. Our laundry room is nearer to our front door, and our grass lawn sucks ass so there’s no good scent from that shit.

Your closet probably has unclean dishes, rags of semen from jerking off, etc. We all have smells!

[Iron_Man]

everybody’s got a smell. It all depends what you eat and it if you have a bunch of dirty clothes hanging around

[Asker]

Yea but houses all smell different 😂

[Iron_Man]

Now I’m getting paranoid about myself. Maybe I should spray with Lysol before people come over

[Iron_Man]

Or light a cinnamon candle

[Iron_Man]

But I’ll need a lighter first

[Asker]

Cinnamon candle is the best scented candle you got? I had a mango orange one and it was an awesome candle

[Iron_Man]

I don’t have any candles in the house, but years ago my former girlfriend many years ago bought some Yankee candles from Dadeland Mall, cinnamon apple, and it smelled really good and really refreshed the house with that sent even though the house didn’t smell anyway

[Asker]

I'm not surprised I think Yankee candles are the top brand for candles

[Iron_Man]

Yes they are

[IslaTheWitch]

people are unique, keep unique things, use specific chemicals for cleaning and washing. My mom loved scented candles... so on the top of the smell of starched sheets (she did it at home) smell there was also apple and cinnamon...

[Asker]

I guess it's a mix of things, all kinds of smells mixing together and stuff lol

[Laciejordan]

My house smells like apple cinnamon, I have an uncle, his house always smells like coffee, my grandma and grandpa’s house always smells like sports cream and Vicks vapor rub.

[Asker]

Everyone keeps bringing up that Apple cinnamon stuff, it must be fire lol

And sports cream and vicks vapor rub is crazy 😂

[sheikalana]

It's a combination of the types of food they cook and the cleaning products that they use. Some houses smell because a lot of people do not have the habit of opening the windows in the morning to allow ventilation.

[Asker]

But why does it always smell the same? I doubt the cook and clean exactly the same everytime lol

[StudyingAuthor]

Yeah, My grandmother's house smells like apples, and breakfast all the time.

[Asker]

Even when she isn't cooking? Lol

[StudyingAuthor]

Yep... I don't mind tho.

[Asker]

Understandable

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I have noticed before. Usually, I thought it was because of their dogs and/or cats they had.

[Asker]

Well maybe it plays a part? Maybe it's the smell of everything in their home combined? 🤔

[PBandJ_Nerd]

probably. My sister has lots of cats and for some reason I thought the cat smell was alcohol. lol

[Asker]

Really? Why? 😂

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Not sure.

[jahaims]

They cook different food and buy/wear different things. Different levels of hygiene and different environments

[Asker]

Yep I guess the smell of everything combined, even their table and wall type of thing lol

[jahaims]

You notice it more when you go to houses of different cultures

[Asker]

Yea my white friends house smelled like cigarettes

[marriecarlson]

maybe the products they use to clean the house mixed with perfumes or colognes they use

[exitseven]

My kids used to call cigarettes "the old people's smell'"

[Anonymous]

depends on their diet (what food they cook), how often they clean and how often they bathe. if they have pets or kids. if they have a newer house or older house. their environment of the town they live in (humid?)

[TheSpaceGnome]

Thats because people have their own unique smells, as does whatever they choose to put in their house.

[NathanDavis]

maybe you just have a greater sense of smell

[ibodi]

old people's odor come from skin

[Asker]

Really? That's crazy

[ibodi]

yes, you can Google. I can't speak medical words too much in English.

[DaBiggestBird]

Could be the people who live there. Like how every individual dog’s asshole smells different from any other, they identify each other that way.

[Miah04]

Foods they cook. Body odors. Pets. Toots. Candles, scents, mouth smells.
