Weird smells that you like

[BiscuitLover09876]

Another slightly odd lighthearted thread!

I've realised that I really love the smell of dust burning on a radiator

Anyone else?

Bleach and chlorine

Fresh tarmac

The cheap pine bleach used in public toilets.

Dogs ears and paws, morning after bonfire night, burnt toast, creosote, marker pens, nail polish

The smell of brand new sponges . It’s so chemically and addictive

^^ yes they're divine

Sweaty horses, damp wool jumpers, new plastic pencil cases (there is a particular soft plastic that smells amazing), fabric plasters, camomile lotion, pencil sharpenings and wet cats. I think essentially anything that reminds me of my childhood.

Chlorine.

Petrol, car oil, diesel. My dad worked as a mechanic when I was little in a garage. I used to love the smell of the place.
His boiler suit would hang in the cupboard at home and the smell hit you when you opened the door.
Also pipe tobacco. Reminds me of my grandad. Very comforting smell.

Rubber hot water bottles

@waybill

Tinsel. Has to be old tinsel though, the more modern stuff doesn't smell right at all.

Oooh, yes, I love to bury my face in my mum's ancient tinsel.

I love the smell of glue and chemist's shops (not Boots, the little ones that all smell the same).

The smell in the air after fireworks.

I once stayed in a treehouse in Queensland and a possum would climb up the tree at night and onto my lap. It had the sweetest smelling fur. I can still almost smell it.

WD40!

Also those craft uht glue sticks (that contain clear glue that comes out of a little sponge at the end). They smell almost perfumed.

Stables.

Bookshops.
Libraries.
Petrol.

Tcp-it takes me back to my granddad
Ditto,vosene,sunlight soap and the bit of the matchbox that you run the match over to strike it
Also books-I love opening a book and the smell is so comforting

I was also going to say my husband's armpits, but thought that you would all be grossed out. Agree that it has to be the warm smell of skin and faded deodorant rather than a BO kind of smell.

Tarmac
Creosote
Petrol
Old pub stale ale
Old style tippex 80’s style (before they removed the smell)
Cigars and pipe which my grandads smoked

Straw hats is another one.

Coffee! I love the smell of the beans, the beans being ground, the ground up beans, the smell when it's being made into a cup of coffee, the works.

Why is this odd?

Because I cannot bear the taste of it. Yuk yuk. Vile.

I’ve just tried to smell my cat’s paws. But I can’t smell anything.

She’s unimpressed and has batted my nose before walking off.

Petrol

Fresh cigarette smoke

Sweat, particularly neck and armpits, my husbands, not random stangers on the tube.

Fox musk.

I love the smell of my cat's fur and skin.

The London Underground.
