Best Smelling Wood?

[cchobot]

Since working at SWE I've experienced what have been undoubtedly some of the best (Fresh Gibbs) and worst (Smelly Jelly Fluke Feast) smells of my life. As far as the sweet smells go what wood smells the best in your opinion? I know it's a little off topic but this forum needs a new thread

Just be glad you weren't there the day we had a mystery smell in the back of the store...

It took a while to figure out what it was, but eventually Earl cracked the top of the freezer we used to keep in back. The freezer had died and the eels we were saving for eel skins, a bluefin carcass, and who knows what else was in there had cooked into a white, fuzzy slurry.

It was a special smell, to be sure. I'm fairly tolerant of stuff like that, so enjoying Earl attempting to not lose his breakfast for the next 10 minutes was kind of entertaining.
