Your favourite, unusual smell?

Mine are.. a match being lit

A damp airing cupboard! Live in a new build and quite annoyed I can no longer breathe in the smell of a slightly damp but clean towel smell cupboard. Not sure people will understand from the explanation

The smell of those strong antibacterial wipes used to wipe over skin before a needle is inserted

My children's hair after waking up

It smelt like cream cheese to me. Which I don’t like personally but it’s not repulsive like normal poo!

Me toooo

OMG 😮

I love a just lit match too @stepintohannakey

The old style Jeyes fluid.

Hot tarmac
Lead solder smoke (quite reasonably, solder is now lead-free, but I do miss it)
Tinsel
Workshops (Wood and oils)
Creosote
Diesel
My dog's biscuity head

Vinegar

My dog's Cheesy Doritos paws.

Matches and TCP and germolene, too. Also the smell of ironing, especially linen.
The smell of the skin on my arms on a sunny day.
The slightly oily smell when I've been using my sewing machines.

The smell of the skin on my arms is the sun.
Playdoh.
Paper when it came off the old fashioned paper copiers when it was warm.
The smell inside churches.
The smell of tomato plants.

Definitely yes to unlit cigarettes, always liked that smell!

Ooh yes…the smell of my arm on a sunny day…I thought that was just me and far too weird to mention.

I love musty, damp smells, like if you go into a cave or an underground car park. Something about those smells makes me feel almost high! It's hard to explain. I know it sounds odd...

Inside of a church!! Yes!!

Definitely petrol and also deep heat. I genuinely can't understand people who can't stand the smell of deep heat.

A turf fire.
increasingly rare these days.

Deep Heat.

Yes!

Playdoh! I love anything almondy, though.
The smell of my arm on a sunny day, too.

Yes to tomato plants. There is an aromatherapy place near me that does tomato plant scented stuff.

Can I add saddle soap to the list.

A good sniff of a cats fur when they've been outside all day and smell all outdoorsy mmmm

Normally I’d say leather as it used to have a strong effect where I thought it was an amazing smell, but it doesn’t have as much an effect on me as it did when I was younger.

Cats heads smell like chicken nuggets
leather saddles
my lovely horse’s face
a newly opened bag of horse feed

Dettol
