Satisfaction from a scent.

Can you be satisfied by a scent? I have found that just the aroma of coffee brewing satisfies me to the extent where I am okay if I decided not to have a cup. It's scent is enough to put a smile on my face.
Of course, I usually have one cup every day or every other day because I am trying to cut back on my caffeine intake - and I don't really care for decaf. However, if the situation arises where I am advised to stop drinking coffee, I think I would manage okay on the scent alone.
So, is there a scent that can keep you satisfied? I know someone who doesn't smoke but loves the scent of tobacco. What is one of your favorite scents?

my weird sense of smell likes the gasoline when the car is filled up. but seriously, i like the scent of a freshly-brewed coffee, or coffee from the 3 in 1 sachet in boiled water in a mug.

@ridingbet When I was a kid I liked the smell of gasoline.

@Kandae11 yes, these small packs of 3 in 1 coffee mix smell good in very hot water in a mug. but i think it is my idiosyncrasy to love the smell of the gasoline.

I go crazy whenever I smell a pine-scented candle.
I think it brings out the animal in me or something.

Yes but it still needs a lot of self control

There are scents that I like but I know it wouldn't keep me satisfied I just like the smell of it, like the smell of a new book. I'd like to inhale through the pages hehe (but only buying the book would satisfy me )
I also like the smell of freshly baked bread from the oven and again only eating it would satisfy me hehe
The smell of coffee too is very inviting to me but I just like it I don't drink coffee.

I do love the scent of coffee's aroma.. I love the scent of Vick's vaporub and the scent of off lotion.
