‘Strange’ smells you like.

[AlexDrake1981]

Hi, I hope this thread is in the right place. I suppose I’m being a bit nosey, but I just wondered what smells people like that may be considered strange?

I really like the faint smell of chlorine on your skin when you’ve been swimming, and that earthy smell from when it has rained on a hot day.

Dogs feet
Plastic pencil cases
Posh magazines
Coal tar soap
Bleach

I know that smell and yes. But when used agar comes out the autoclave 😖
That's what I mean! That smell bothers everyone in the lab but me! And it's not unpleasant 🧫 🧫🧫

This, I remember at each of my daughters birthdays! It has to be party candles, Yankee candle doesn't come close.

Petrichor
Garden bonfires (just catching a whiff on the air as you walk/drive past)
My cats fur (warm, dusty and slightly sweet)
Freshly washed hair
My DH's skin

Love the smell of petrol.

Vicks vapour rub takes me right back to my childhood. A really comforting mum looking after me smell if you see what I mean.

The smell of skin that's been exposed to the sun. It's a unique smell, doesn't happen in winter. I assume because it has something to do with the vitamin D production since its not heat or sweat triggered.

My husband thinks I'm mad but I can smell it on me and on others and it's lovey.

Anyone else know the smell I mean?

Savlon
charcoal briquettes

Sesame oil.
Tarmac.
Petrichor.

Dog feet, creosote, petrol, bleach, old fashioned hardware shops
