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?

Lapsang souchong

I can't deal with the smell of lamb cooking. I love eating the stuff though. How does that work? Confused

I hate the smell of the lush shop and bodyshop. I can barely walk past let alone step foot in the places

blankmind · 23/12/2016 21:22

All artificial scents fabric conditioners, fresheners, room sprays, pot pourri etc.
Most perfumes/aftershaves/household cleaners with the "blue" smells, usually packaged in that colour with turquoise and called something like ocean bliss or seaspray - they all make me choke.
Geraniums/brand new wool carpets - identical smell to me, choke again.
Can't walk down the soap powder aisle in any supermarket without choking and sneezing.
Frying bacon - no choking, just makes me feel sick.
Fast food cooking smells and barbacues - as above

I could go on but won't, don't want to win the longest list prize Xmas Grin
