What weird smells do you like?

[CormoranStrike]

I passed a garage today giving cars spray jobs and oh! The smell of spray paint was amazing.

I also love the smell of firelighters, the kind you would use to help a log fire start.

Freshly cut grass too, but that’s more normal!

[DuckonaBike]

Petrol
Mildew (reminds me of childhood camping holidays)

[HelloViroids]

Marker pen, TCP, chlorine

Yes to creosote like others up thread. I think Putney bridge tube station smells like creosote!

[SospanFrangipan]

A newly open post it note block, when you fan the sheets. It's delightful

[GoldHedgehogLamp]

Proper old spicy roses.and swimming pools too. The tiny wee.carnation plants you get (forget their name).. They smell cinammony spicy, like Oddfellows sweets if anyone is old enough to remember them?

Wet dogs and horses.

Tackrooms.

[sqirrelfriends]

I quite like the smell of my cats breath and would never admit it in real life.

[sqirrelfriends]

The smell of burning wood, it reminds me of the big open fire we had growing up.

[Twospaniels]

Cigarette smoke - just if a bit wafts past. I grew up when you could still smoke in pubs and clubs and although I have never smoked myself, it reminds me of those times.

Wet or sweaty horse

Cows, reminds me of childhood hols in Derbyshire on a dairy farm

Carpet glue

Roast pork, reminds me of my grandparents flat.

Plasticene
Scraps (the 70s ones with that shiny coating)
WD40
Isopropynol
Very old books (I have one from the 1700s and it's intoxicating!)

The tiny wee.carnation plants you get (forget their name).. They smell cinammony spicy, like Oddfellows sweets if anyone is old enough to remember them? Those are Pinks, said to smell like cloves GoldHedgehogLamp
