Smells you can't stand

Apart from the obvious things that just plain stink, what common everyday smells can you not stand? I hate the smell of bleach. My OH loves the stuff and covers the house in it but the smell makes me want to vom. Bit of a random one but just a light hearted thread. So what smell do you hate?

Bleach for me too. Petrol. Hot cooking oil. Cinnamon.

Lynx - my DH insists on buying this and I asociate it with 15yo boys!

I hate cinnamon with a passion and anything that has cinnamon in it. I don't know why.

The smell of burnt toast and the smell of DS cooking waffles (sweet)-it's horrible :(

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 23/12/2016 20:28

that weird smell of digestive biscuits that happens with old clothes

CuthbertDibble · 23/12/2016 20:29

Virtually all aerosol deodorants and air fresheners, not overly keen on perfumes either, I think I have a problem with artificial spray smells.

Misspilly88 · 23/12/2016 20:32

Yeah strong perfumes. Especially when people use perfume to try to cover up the smell of cigarette smoke. Vom.

Coffee

I hate the smell of those berries you get on ivy in sept/oct. Plus the wasps are all over them.

dancemom · 23/12/2016 20:39

Coffee

I love bleach, chlorine and disinfectant

Also love mint, eucalyptus and tea tree

Our shopping centre. The management have allowed several food stalls to open up in a partially enclosed area. It's a horrible mix of fried onion, sausages and donuts. I've started holding my breath so I don't get a lungful of the stuff but now there's too many so I have to breathe in halfway.

carrotcakecupcake · 23/12/2016 20:44

Unnatural scents, basically any air fresher. Body shop hemp products make me gag (I think it's a hand cream).

Falalalafffffffttt · 23/12/2016 20:44

Elderberries
Hypnose perfume (was gifted this in early pregnancy, cannot smell to this day without issues)

MollyHuaCha · 23/12/2016 20:46

I'm with wannadance - I detest artificial air fresheners esp anything vanilla based. When people have them in cars I actually feel sick Sad

MrsJayy · 23/12/2016 20:47

Vanilla makes me gag poor Dd made me a candle holder with vanilla candle in brownies the smell was awful I had to put it in the drawer (then binned it)

aintnobodygottimefodat · 23/12/2016 21:06

Cigarette smoke. And my husbands wind.

Itscurtainsforyou · 23/12/2016 21:09

Petrol/diesel

Brewed coffee ( but not beans/ground coffee)

BobbieDog · 23/12/2016 21:09

The lush shop. Knocks me sick walking past there.

Sick

Musty houses or clothing

Pet smells

Cheese. Boak.

BingBongBingBong · 23/12/2016 21:15

Hate petrol smell, DH loves it the weirdo
Not a fan of leather smell, lemon/citrus type stuff, butcher's shops - I feel like I can smell them miles away and it makes me feel ill

Patriciathestripper1 · 23/12/2016 21:17

Lapsing souchong tea(don't know if that's how you spell it) it's the worse smell I've ever experienced and makes me retch. Disgusting 😝😝😝
