Scents you like that other people find odd and vice versa.

I don’t like sweet flowery perfumes and prefer things like sandalwood. I like the smell of cigarettes,too ( not a smoker). I also like the smell of alcohol and I used to love walking past the local pub as a child and catching the ‘perfume.’

I like the smell of a tea caddy/open box of tea bags but cannot bear the smell (or taste) of an actual hot cup of tea. Go figure As DH enjoys an occasional cup of tea it causes him much bemusement.

I don’t like coffee, but love the smell.
I love the smell of a wood fire, but my favourite scent is lilac.
One of my granddaughters loves the smell of petrol, which I find nauseating.

Love the smell of a newly creosoted fence.
Log burners in the autumn air
Hate the smell of cigarettes,but a cigar reminds me of my dad at christmas with his one big cigar.

I hate the smell of cigarettes and beer, I love the smell of coffee, fresh cut grass, and woody scent candles.

I love getting into a freshly made bed with the scent of being dried outdoors still lingers.
Ditto petrol
Another favourite is Diptyque ‘bais* room spray, used sparingly in my bedroom. Both DD’s keep me stocked up with this for birthday/christmas gifts.
Autumn leaves, especially when burning in the garden.

Freshly grated nutmeg. I love the aroma of coffee but can't drink it without a nasty reaction.

I hate the smell of barbecues, I like the smell of someone smoking but do not the smell of them afterwards or a room where someone has previously smoked.

I know I shouldn't but I love the smell of glue(like Bostic )
I am surprised I never became a glue sniffer!
When I am at work at the supermarket, we have a Timpson*s she unit and sometimes when he is using a certain glue I do sniff the air.

Methylated spirits make me yuk!

The smell of coal fires on the cold winter air!!

Tarmac! and yes petrol! fumes of both are probably really bad
Seaweed
Gauloises - weird because I don't like smoking anywhere near me, but I find the smell of French cigarettes evocative of mainland Europe
Roasting coffee beans - smell better than the coffee tastes
Autumn - it has it's own aura, smokey
I also loved the smell of pubs as a child, I had a friend whose family had one and when I went round to hers her mother always gave us a bag of crisps and an Orangina which was a massive treat back then

I'm another who doesn't like the smell of fabric conditioner, very chemical imo! I'm rather partial to a good quality diffuser Jo Malone or Neom, which I know some people don't like, but I do and I always have one on the go.

I like the smell of hessian sacks.

Also love the smell of nutmeg.

Dislike - Vanilla scented candles, or vanilla scented anything - yuck. The smell is really sickly.

Like - The smell of baking bread and proper coffee, though neither actually agree with me. The garden when it is warm but it has just been raining. The soiley smell that you get in Autumn

The smell of glue in our local shoe repair shop almost knocks you over when you go in. I am sure the owner must be permanently high!

Weirdly I hate the smell of meat cooking on barbecues in the gardens nearby, it actually makes me retch - but I quite like the smell of a steak grilling/frying in the kitchen. For the life of me I can't explain it.

PinkCosmos I am with you on vanilla scents, I had forgotten about that.

Loved the smell of coal. The coal lorry and the coal shed. Plus tar.
Hate ‘Youth Dew’. It actually makes me gag.

Brasso when I was cleaning badges. I’ve stopped myself now as it’s probably bad for you.

Vanilla - yuck!

DH hated the smell of lilies and said it was like cats’ pee. I love lilies, but kept them on the hall table when he was alive. Now, I have them in the lounge with me.

Loved Tippex back in the day.

PinkCosmos Where is this shop! I need to go. lol

I love the smell of horses, not ones that have been lying in a dirty stable, but their own natural smell. I also love the smell of my own dog but not other people's, he smells like mushrooms except when he rolls in fox poo, then he stinks! However, my favourite smell is old fashioned roses at the end of a warm day.

I love the smell of books and even the feel of the pages .
A kindle is not for me .
Otherwise Pears soap and Johnson's baby powder are nice .
I like most floral fragrances , but really love expensive oud .
Sandalwood is fantastic .
My father's pipe tobacco was lovely.
I think that it was called Sweet Briar .
I like Autumn bonfires - in fact the whole season - it's beautiful .

Cinnamon , cardamon , nutmeg and cloves are my favourite spice smells .
There are smells which make me gag and it's so embarrassing - ear wax , body odour , bad breath , vomit , poo , strong urine , cat pee and maggots ....

My mama hated the smell of hyacinths - "death'.

Hi Mrs Ken! I loathe the smell of Lauder's Youth Dew - it makes me sneeze & makes my eyes run. The people who wear it tend to treat it like air freshener in a toilet after a bout of norovirus.

I like the smell of pipe & cigar tobacco.

My instant uplift is to go into the local bike shop and just inhale; a new bike has a smell all of its own.

I really dislike the smell of barbeques and cigarettes, though a good proper bonfire is a rare treat.

I absolutely love the smell of petrol too
