What's a smell you love that's odd/unusual?

[junipoor]

For example, for me it's

freshly laid carpets,

rubber rings, anything smelling of armbands of floats etc

Antiseptic

Euthamol toothpaste (love the taste)

Petrol (when I open the little hole for petrol I have a quick sniff )

Coccoina glue
Vicks
Freshly cleaned leather horse saddles

T GEL Shampoo.
Jeyes fluid.

Big thumbs up for dog's cheeks. My dear departed eldest dog's cheeks were divine, the younger one just stank of dirty ears and boy dog, bless him.
Also - hamster feet. Smells of popcorn.

The sweaty milk smell of my bra if I've leaked, I'd say that is pretty odd/disgusting. I also like the smell of the gunk from pierced ears , rank!

I like the smell of the inside of my watch strap - a mixture of leather, sweat and perfume. It's probably disgusting to anyone else.

Playdoh

Horses generally smell sweet and gorgeous. I find men don't get this for some reason.

Hot tar
Creosote
New rubber (on the sole of a new pair of pumps)
Petrol
Germoline
Petrichor
Freshly printed leaflets

Yes to petrol, rubber , I love the smell of rubber car mats, new tubes of tennis balls and brasso.

Tinsel - I love it when I open the plastic box it's stored in and you can just smell it

Two or my dogs smell divine. Their paws, their velvet necks are just divine.

The other one has coarse hair and is low to the ground and is a different breed altogether and doesn’t smell great.

Engine oil

Petrichor

Wallpaper paste
Wet tarmac
Dusty wooden floors in hardware shops

Firelighters!

Petrichor

Tarmac when there’s men working and a tarmac lorry. I just stand around and inhale.

Horses. They smell beautiful 😻

Newly Lit match
Tinsel
Play doh
Freshly cut wood

Pencil sharpenings
Wax crayons
Fountain pen ink
The top of a cat's head when you bury your nose in and take a good hard sniff
The rolls of caps that kids used to have for making toy guns bang

Natural running water. I can stand next to waterfalls and just inhale.

@ISpeakJive

The smell of tinsel and pine trees/needles. Just reminds me of Christmas.

Freshly cut grass reminds me of lazy summer days...

As soon as I read your comment, I could smell it!

I love that smell, too - I LOVE Christmas and all its constituent parts.

Bleach
Coal tar soap
Creosote

My dogs ears, the smell on an ear ring when it's been removed and the smell of my wrist after I've taken my watch off!

Leather.....
Yep, does things to me 😉

The smell of a brand new catalog I miss that smell

Petrol makes me feel sick 🤮
Grapefruit, both real and artificial
Rabbit hutches
Cats paws
Horses
Newborn baby
Blue cheese

German celery soup.

My sheets after washing in Ecover and then line-dried. I stand in the siting cupboard with my nose pressed into piles of bedding!

Cinnamon raisin bagels being toasted.

Aviation fuel. Especially at about 6am on a quiet, dewy, hazy summers morning.

A warm wooden hut, or a sauna cabin.

@TheLeadbetterLife, yes to a sweaty watch strap too!
