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?

First thing in the morning between winter and the beginning of spring this amazing sweet fresh smell in the air

Flip flops
Blown out candles
My DS forehead (he's 12 now so I don't get to sniff very often)
Window cleaner and car screen wash

The laundry detergent aisle in the supermarket

My dog's toes

The smell of chlorine on my skin before I shower after swimming.

Petrichor
My cats' paws
New books
Old books
Steam engines
Ogden's St Bruno Flake before it is smoked (reminds me of my late dad)
My newborn babies' heads

I have a (now discontinued, I think) scent by Miller Harris, called L'air de Rien. It is reminiscent of old books.

Newsagents. Empty mint tic tac boxes. Musty churches. Hairdressers.

That waxy hot tarmac scented air when you step off a plane onto the runway in the evening.

The way the London Underground used to smell 40 years ago

Photo copied pages especially purple ink when the teacher used to rustle up 30 copies and the ink was wet ( this was the late 70s/early 80s)

Proper Swan Vesta matches , pink ones struck on the sandpaper strip on the box

Little fur coated rodents in deep hay smell

Those "Quickies" cleansing pads in a blue tub , again years ago .

Pledge spray.

That smell of crushed grass when you go into a marquee at a summer fete.

The inside of a brand new pair of rubber gloves.

@70isaLimitNotaTarget, that would be the result of the much-loved Banda machine. It was a bit like using carbon paper. The liquid used to transfer the original on to the copy had a very distinctive smell!

Oh god. Those Quickies! They smelt bloody amazing.we only ever had them on holidays though.

I love the smell of turpentine and freshly painted walls, plus magic markers but I’d get high if I sniffed it for too long.

Hospitals.
I don’t know what disinfectant they use but they all smell the same.

Newspaper and magazine paper.

The smell of diesel and oil, reminds me of childhood holidays going abroad on the ferry.

Hot asphalt
Creosote

When I was a kid my friends grandma always smelled lovely like yeast and I used to love snuggling with her. Turns out she was an alcoholic and that's what I could smell.

Leather
Old musty books or leather cases

For the photocopier I thought of the Gestetner Machine we had at school and I have a mental link from there to the pea pod smell of invisible ink

Leaf mould
Wood chip
Damp autumn paths
Garages
Damp towels
Wetsuits

Kerosene. Holiday here I come!

Damp sponges and cellars
