Scents that you bizarrely hate!

[BrookGreen54]

I’ll go first..

Newspapers and new books are my nemesis! Books are usually manageable but I have genuinely never been able to bring myself to willingly touch a newspaper, I don’t even like being in the same room as them due to the smell🤣 Wish I was joking..

Anyone else have a strange dislike to a smell that would be inoffensive to most other people?

I hate the smell of freshly cut grass.

Which people always say on 'smells you love' threads.

So I feel you!

Lavender

why so many cleaning products and washing powders have this scent is beyond me it’s fucking awful

Rose smells. Actual roses I like sniffing but anything rose scented smells like horrible cloying death to me. Even the ‘posh’ ones.

I don't think I'm the only one who dislikes it, but deepheat cream makes me feel physically ill, i find it stomach churning.
I also absolutely hate the smell of yorkshire tea bags ....

Oh goodness yes. Natural rose is lovely but the artificial scent of them is so sickening. We had a house guest who wore strong rose perfume - the smell genuinely lingered in the dining room for months

Clinique happy. The irony.

It was my perfume when I was in my late teens and during the worst phase of my life when I was dragged for a forced termination then had a total breakdown. If I ever smell it now I have a panic attack.

Lavender, roses and worst of all, lilies.

Freshly baked bread
Cooked cheese

It's a problem in our house when someone is eating cheese on toast...

Ralgex, the smell is utterly rank.

Clinique Eau dynamisante
green Fairy liquid
Loads of washing powders smell as bit like wee to me

Lilies. They also set off my hay-fever.

Palma Violet sweets. Have to leave the room if i smell them, and secretly suspect anyone who likes them of not being fully human.

Freshly brewed coffee.

Lilies. Petrol. Coconut.

Milky hot drinks especially tea. Also roast dinners (I've made too many of the bloody things).

Chanel no 5
Tea with milk in

Bitumen. Cigars. Petrol.

Vanilla anything.

All of the above!

@itsallbowlsbaby I love all those. As a child I used to sniff shoe polish. When pregnant I had a form of pica where I loved the smell of paint, tar etc.

Milky coffee, tomato leaves, cigarettes

Most perfumes smell rank to me.

All Chanel perfumes, they're just cloying, old woman in the 1960/70s smells to me. Estee Lauder's ironically named Youth Dew is the same.

All perfume. Hate the stuff.

I hate the smell of line dried washing! HATE it!!!
