I second the coffee, probably be the most popular.

Other four undecided though.

Freshly printed glossy paper
Freshly mowed grass
Gasoline
New SNES cart smell (it's been a while, but oh so good, they kinda still smell like that)
Nag Champa

You have to have a non-video gaming, gaming one! In my case the freshly printed glossy paper smell fetish came mostly from Magic: TG and Star Wars CCG card games. I played those through middle and high school, so much fun to crack open a new pack and have that smell waft up. I might have to go buy some MTG cards tomorrow...

Popped firecrackers/burnt gunpowder
Baking bread
Pipe tobacco (unburnt, I don't smoke)
Fresh cut pine/Douglas fir needles

Without resorting to coffee, which depends wildly on the blend to me, I'm not sure of a fifth one.
