When decorating it is nice to smell new paint but sometimes it
can be a bit horrid. If the paint had some essetnial oils in
there to make it smell really nice that would be great.

baked sorry. will find a link - but I may be gone some time so talk among yourselves :) |
|

gizmo: does your mother know about your paint sniffing problem? |
|
|
Sorry - my dad would really like a curry flavoured paint |
|

Well even though it might already exist it's still a nice idea. The smell could be based on the color - Yellow could smell like Lemons - Green like grass - Brown like chocolate...etc... |

I was thinking that new paint smells clean but if it made
the whole house or even the room smell for a while that
would be nice, my room could smell of chocolate or mint.
The smell could last for quite some time if aromathery oils
were used. Could create a relaxing or up-beat mood. |

Might make you really hungry while you were painting though! |

Reminds me of a rubbish joke: |
|
|
Q: What's blue and smells like yellow paint? |
|
|
Your idea might finally kill off this "joke" once and for all. And for that a croissant. |

Baked as a paint additive - see link. WB, giz. |
|
|
But I *LIKE* the smell of fresh paint. |

This could be useful for people decorating before selling their homes. Prospective buyers are attracted by the smell of freshly-baked bread, but it can be a trial baking for every visitor. Bread paint would make it much easier. Have a freshly baked croissant for your trouble :) |

A few years ago, 20 or 25 say, Woolworth's own-brand paint in the UK had something in it to make it smell vaguely fruity - an aldehyde of some sort I think. |
