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 )

Pipe smoke. I don't smoke, never have but there's just something about the smell of pipe smoke.
As others have said...petrol, creosote and freshly struck matches.
Zippo lighters when they're flicked on.
Newborn babies socks when they've just been taken off.
This is probably a common one, like petrol, but the interior of a brand new car.

My cat's paw pads. A cross between digestive biscuits and freshly cut grass.

Creosote - memories of playing outside in the summer.

Chlorine - brings back many happy memories of going swimming as a kid.

Jeyes Fluid. Tar. Creosote.

And old books and musty churches. I also love to chew a damp flannel.

Germolene.
TCP.
Creosote.

Another petrol smeller here!

Also vintage shops, my cats fur, just put out matches and the inside of party poppers after they've been popped

This reminds me of my DF who always used to put spent party poppers on the end of his nose to appre the smell 😂

Just distinguished matches
Paws (cats or dogs)
Horses
Saddle soap
Petrol
Creosote
Tar
My children's heads
Books, new ones
Sawdust
Hay

The smell of washing after I've forgotten to take it out of the washing machine. I also really enjoy the smell of the butterfly house at Whipsnade Zoo. It had the same moist, stale/stagnant smell of forgotten washing.

I love sucking and chewing on sponges- they taste like how forgotten washing smells 😆

Newborn piglets

Burning hooves (when the farrier comes, not otherwise)
Rain on a hot day
Books
Saddle soap
Tarmac
Wet leaves
Fireworks

All these dog cheeks posts are making want to sniff my cats cheeks but she'll probably bite my face off if I try ☹️

New books

Spent shotgun cartridges

TCP

Vicks
Petrol

Dettol, love that smell!

My dogs paws.

Body Shop, this must be going back 20 years, used to have a grey round musky soap bar which had dark spots. White musk? It was divine.

Gawd this is like porn 😂

So many amazing smells - creosote high up on my list.

A long time ago, but the smell of my baby's wet nappy - only my own baby though. I used to find it a homely smell.

Savlon (cream)
Lighter fuel

The peppery smell of some walnuts cracked from their shells.

My wife's skin at the back of her neck always smells nice.

Another one - fireworks 🎆

A lit up cigarette (i dont smoke)

Floor cleaner

Brut
