Well this is an eye-opener. I *LOVE* lilies and their smell, and don’t find them piss-like at all. When we have them in the house I stand over them and can’t get enough.

Now I’ll think twice before ever giving them to someone, I suppose!

I got given out to by the girls at work for saying that “lilies smell like dead people”.

I meant to say they remind me of funerals, but actually think what I said by accident is better.

Lilies look beautiful, but stink.

And incidentally, somewhat related-ish, apparently a freshly released egg actually released a scent which draws sperm, and the scent is supposedly similar to lily of the valley.

Woah… so lillies are most definately a subjective smell – considering they’re so popular that’s pretty interesting! Tarmac, hops, marmite, and lillies… all on the love ‘em or hate ‘em list. Weird.

I’ve never googled a smell before, but a search came up with:

“The flowers of the Madonna lily have a very sweet, heavy floral,honey like fragrance with a short cresylic, ylang ylang like topnote and, at other times of the day, a suave, balsamic sweet fragrance.”

Its oils are used as perfume bases apparently.

I have to agree with him, some flowers should never be picked.

I’m with TAT and Hails. The smell of lilies early in the morning is also on my list.

I have to agree with TAT. White lillies are on my top ten list of Smells I Absolutely Detest. Or at least, they would be if I had such a list. Oooohhh. Maybe I’ll make such a list on my blog. Blimey, I am one hell of an entertaining writer. :)
