Is it unusual to enjoy the smell of odd things? I really like the smell of petrol, tar, creosote (I loved it as a kid when my Dad was creosoting the fence). Thought it was just me who liked smells that aren't designed to be aromatic, but some of my children also enjoy the smell of petrol and often comment on it in the car at the petrol station. I also like the smell of coffee. What smells do you like?

I am obsessed with the smell of petrol! That would probably be my favourite smell. I also like the smell of fresh bread, jasmine, ginger, cinnamon and melted chocolate.

I also like the smell of petrol. I like the smell of cheese too...and maybe meat pies.

Fresh bread is good. Now you're making me hungry!
I never realised other people liked the smell of petrol, always thought it was weird before

I really have a thing for smells and any smell will attract my attention. I'll get fascinated, even if it's a rank smell ! So, in a way, I like ALL smells. It makes me wonder now if it was an unconscious factor in choosing my avatar.

I find that smell a bit too strong.

I forgot to add: new paperbacks.

I like that smell too.

I also like the smell of wood burning (though not the choking sensation that comes with it).

The breath of the Mexican red-headed Amazon parrot. It smells like honey.

ooh! good question!

freshly bathed baby!
Gasoline
Skunk (from a distance)
cow poo (driving in the country)

A loooong time ago, when I was 15 (I think), I had a very nice smell coming from my groin. I don't know if it was an early fungal or yeast infection but it was nice. It was almost addictive. I couldn't get enough of it. Weird, I know.
Weed (pot, marijuana, what have you)
Coffee
