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!

[The3rdWatermelon]

Horse breath. My pony’s breath as a foal, when he was still drinking milk from his mum - amazing! Like warm apple pie and cream

My cat’s head smells so good. I suspect what I’m smelling is the dried spit of the other cat, but it’s addictive

I love the burnt hoof smell when the farrier is fitting horse shoes

[CentrifugalBumblePuppy]

Kerosene
Rubber (especially popping on a brand new black indoor plimsoll over my nose like a mask)
Fresh tyres
Hot hot water bottles
The smell of a Kaye’s or Janet Fraser catalogue (years ago, obviously)
The coal fire smell you get when it’s going to snow

[Covert19]

Surgical Spirit
Cows
B&Q

[ChiefClerkDrumknott]

Slightly sweaty horse
Horshage and graze on (horse feeds)
Grassy horse breath

My dogs feet , i work at a vets and all my colleagues love the smell too.
I only like the smell of my own dogs though !

[TheChristmasPrincess]

My newborn's poop when breastfed, used to smell extraordinarily sweet, like toffee yoghurt 😲😐

[cookielove]

Cememt, especially when wet.

The smell of the tumble drier.

Grey breeze blocks

[flourbroach]

The smell of crushed grass inside a marquee on a hot day.

[Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket]

Tights slightly singeing on a hot radiator.

I also find the smell of fresh cigarette smoke nostalgic, although I didn't like it when it was everywhere.

[TheoneandObi]

The washing powder aisle in Tesco

[Zoflorabore]

Petrol, fresh tarmac, old fashioned furniture polish with beeswax ( none of this pledge shite ) new school pumps. I love smells

[Youngatheart00]

Olbas oil, especially when it’s settled in to a pillow. I find it so comforting!

[SconNotScone]

@BaldAndWild

Slightly burnt toast.
Watercolour "blocks".

I used to love the smell of exhaust fumes when I was a kid.

Yes! Watercolour blocks! I would never in a million years have thought of that off my own back, but as soon as I read it, I was transported back to being a young teen and using the watercolours at school, the smell is so distinctive!

[VaggieMight]

Wet clay

Perming solution - I know I'm on my own on that one, I think it's a childhood thing of the excitement of getting my first perm

Inside pencil cases - again, childhood excitement of getting new stationery

Manure - summer holidays, again probably childhood related

[Youngatheart00]

Oh, also, glossy magazines and brochures

[DoctorTwo]

In no particular order.

Old Holborn tobacco.
Freshly laid tarmac.
Pitch pine.
New cars.
My own worn socks.
