I kind of know what you mean sonic,but I hate the smell of smoke in my hair uuurgh :? I love the smell of fire for some reason.
I love the smell of woodsmoke ....that's why I've an open fireplace which I bung logs on in the winter.....but its best open air, camping, festivals etc.
My kid came back from Reading in the summer smelling like a smoked kipper without the fishy bit....it was an improvement on his usual adolescent odour.
