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?

Angel by Thierry Mugler.
It was my go to perfume but my husband tried to disguise the smell of mould in our bread bin with it thinking it smelt like chocolate!

The combined stench was putrid!!

Went for a drink in a pub beer garden yesterday and another customer nearby absolutely stunk of deep heat. I was gagging. Husband couldn’t smell a thing.

also years ago I worked with a lovely girl who wore Gucci Rush perfume which absolutely nauseated me like nothing else I’ve ever experienced.

😂
Any old perfume for me, the old scents make me feel sick
Baby powder smell
Cooking meat

Yep! I don’t mind proper truffle but the oil is so overpowering, makes me feel instantly sick 🤢 I’ve had many a restaurant pasta dish ruined by it!

Hyacinths🤮

Subway bread
Calvin Klein Eternity
Overly ripe bananas
Unwashed bedclothes

OMG I totally agree with both!!!!

And thickly-filled tuna sandwiches. Eeeeuuugh!

Lavender. It seems 'heavy' to me.. if that even makes sense (scents 😅)?
Also, cinnamon. I hate xmas time when all the bags of scented pine cones are in shops.

Angel perfume.
Lavender.
elnette hairspray.
Lush.

Elizabeth Arden Red Door.

Weed! Fresh cut grass, disgusting.

Lilies, they always smell like they're going off.
Any artificial air fresheners and strong fabric softeners.
Nivea spray deodorant.
Sweet perfumes such as Ghost and Angel.
Berry washing up liquid.

Waxed jackets

Jacket potatoes but only when cooking in the microwave. Anything peach smell, they all smell fake and chemically.

This isn’t just you. Geraniums always look ‘old’ and smell musty. I like them but only as outdoor plants.

Geraniums.

Ha that will teach me not to read all the thread.

And some other awful hedge plant that smells like cat piss.

Sandalwood. Hangover from a miserable French exchange in y7, & hiding in the bathroom for hours with a bar of Imperial Leather.

I'm ok with it as a constituent in perfume these days (only took 40 years...) but on its own, it just stinks of misery & bullying to me.

Yes, vanilla is vile.

To me there are two v distinct cinnamon smells, and the one we mostly get more commonly now is not the one I remember from childhood on cinnamon toast etc. I think it’s Ceylon which is sweeter cinnamon and cassia which is more widely used these days and is (to me) the nauseating, antiseptic version.

Vinegar hate hate hate!!!

Vanilla 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Vanilla. Makes me feel nauseous

Whisky
Brandy
Cooked broad beans
Uncooked mince
There's a bush on our street- no idea what it's called but it smells exactly like dogshit

Wet dogs ( maybe not that bizzare)
Lily's

I forgot one ...
