To ask what weird smells other people like?

[BuddhaLove]

My fella thinks I'm weird because I like to go in the garden and smell the damp wood on the shed.
If we are in the petrol station I open my passenger door and inhale as deep as I can which he says is embarrassing because I do it so obviously.
I love the smell of the pink stuff that car bumpers are patched up with aswell.
Also dogs when they've been in the rain.

Don't know how he can talk and say I'm a freak when he sits and enjoys the smell of his own farts.

Anyone else like weird smells that other people would find strange or just me?

My male rats fur.
I just love to bury my nose in it & inhale deeply.

My favourite smell is my dog when he's been asleep. I love it ❤️

New pencil cases and the orange gooey stuff used to repair holes in car bodywork (dad was a mechanic!)

@pinkmagic - absolutely. Love the smell of horse. And hay

New handbags-actually, new leather in all its forms;
Hot cotton-clothes being ironed or just out of the dryer;
Toner cartridges;
Palm oil (the orange one);
The weird 'dust-oil-pee-train brakes-French people' smell of the Paris Metro;
TCP.

Oh yes pretty much anything hose related
Horse
Hay
Saddle soap
Tack rooms
Grass
Loads of their feed and supplements smell amazing too
Even their poo is not that bad (as far as poo goes 😁)

I'm so glad other people have said dog paws. My boy lies on his back next to me and I sit and watch telly stroking and smelling his back paw. I love the smell of his ears too - and stroking them across my cheek. The milky puppy smell is amazing.

Yes to rain - and that smell you get first thing in the morning, dewy grass. Reminds me of family camping holidays.

Love bleach/chlorine, germoline, vicks vaporub & sudocrem. And clove oil - that smells like dental surgeries of old!

Wood fires too - the sound of them is nice and relaxing.

The seaside of course. Again the smell and sound together is amazing.

Chlorine is my favourite ever smell. I could happily just go and sit next to a swimming pool just inhaling the smell.

I really miss how pubs used to smell. That mix of stale smoke and beer. There was always something homely about it. I’ve never smoked and I don’t drink but I did love that smell

@gettofuckthrees "We have a roll of disposable tourniquets in work. They are blue rubber and smell like heaven."

Yes! It's the powder they use to stop the rubber sticking to itself, kinda flowery/fruity/rubbery smell. It's devine!

This is the brand we use: www.medisave.co.uk/latex-free-single-use-tourniquet-pack-of-25.html

Old Ddog had paws that smelled of sweaty dog feet and popcorn.
Sweaty horses and just cleaned tack.
Surgical spirits still in the bottle.
Methylated spirits.

Polythene bags
Matches (the traditional type, not the safety ones)
Candle smoke after they've just been blown out
Sawn wood
Rain on the garden after it's been dry

Amazed so many like the smell of petrol, though - I'm not easily made nauseous but that does it every time

Another one: coal. Especially as it sits all damp in the coal hole.

Vinegar

I love to sniff my guinea pigs. They smell of warm hay, and well...just warm cuddly piggie.
This, it's the best antidepressant I've ever had!

As bad as it is that rubbery plastic smell (think new arm bands / inflatable stuff)

Bleach

New books!

The inside of a washing machine!

@Poshjock yes those are the ones! Makes that pvc bundle a joy

Petrol
Creosote
Old books
B&Q/Wickes
New magazines

The first thing I thought of when I saw the title was hot, dry dog paws. Love it!

Playdough
Yy to pvc pencil cases
Canvas tents
Campfire
Cut grass
Anthisan
Fruit tea although I hate the taste
New books

Oh and the woodwork room at school

Probably not allowed food but celeriac

I buy it just to smell it. The taste is average - the smell is just intoxicating though!

No to candle smoke! Makes me think of the years I was forced to go to church!

My dog’s feet! When he lies on the sofa on his back and he shoved a foot in my face. I happily sniff his paws. My husband thinks I’m weird

Playdough
The smell of birthday candles just after they've been blown out
Suncream
