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

I used to like the smell of car exhaust fumes.

Tar.
Dog. I don’t even mind wet dog.
Still like the whiff of someone else’s fag, too.

I dislike - cigarettes, anything vanilla or coconut scented. Petrol. Pork, bacon or lamb cooking,

I like - freshly-cut grass, baby powder, anything citrus (fresh or fragrance), curry cooking, TCP, Dettol and Sudocrem

I too hate any vanilla scented things and cigarettes.
I love the smell of the leaves on my tomato plants and newly laid carpets

I'm another who hates the smell of barbecued meat.

And one particular clothes washing product. Not sure what it is but I smell it all over the place and it's very strong.
My daughter-in-law likes it.

Peat fires have the most wonderful smell.
Sadly they aren't many of them any more - which is good for peat bogs, I know

Tenko, I dislike the smell of tomato plants!

Like: smell of stew cooking on a winter's day, summer pavement after a rain, peonies, babies' heads!

Dislike: lilies, diesel fuel, mildew.

Yes! The smell of rain - but on hot dry earth. Petrichor.

Love the smell of cigarette and cigar smoke. Petrol, new books.
Baby powder.
Detest the smell of meat cooking.
Youth Dew, vile.

I like the smell of new leather & the smell you get when you blow a candle out. I don’t mind cigar & pipe smoke but not cigarettes. Love to smell a real fire with a log burning.

I hate the smell of whisky & the odour of hot steamed milk in coffee shops, makes me gag.

I hate the smell of lavender

I love the smell of TCP (the antiseptic liquid)

Love the smell of meths. Hate the smell of milk cheese yoghurt etc. I absolutely hate the smell of the perfume POISON gives me immediate headache.

I love the smell of methylated spirits as it reminds me of my mum who was a health visitor . I also love the smell of bleach as it takes me right back to swimming when I was young swimming in the local pool . We have a wooden summer house and the smell of the wood in sunshine is lovely .
I too love the smell of coffee but do not drink it .

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!

Same here for likes and dislikes.
Hate the smell of walking past a Shoezone, tho I have bought shoes there now and again.
Thinking about it I really hate the smell of petrol, nauseous.
Also I like wet dog.😄

Coal Tar soap. I love the smell of cigarettes but only when it’s really cold weather!!

Coffee
A cake baking in the oven
Frying bacon
Peonies and scented roses
Babies skin
Cats fur

Curry
Plug in air fresheners
Body odour

Marmite

Love smell of freshly cut grass, fresh coffee, fresh baked bread, creosote.
Hate smell of cigarettes, especially when stale on people's clothes.

I love the scent of Patchouli and like the smell of coffee, bacon and onions.

I used to live in Hull many years ago and hated the smell of hops from Hull Brewery.

Like Georgesgran I love the smell of lillies and DH detests them. We live near a farm and when they are spreading sillage it makes me baulk , yet I get told it just smells like old grass what do I expect.
My gran's house and drawers smelled of lavender I tell myself I like it but find the top of the garden is the best place for it. It reminds me of old ladies underwear drawers when I was little.

I absolutely hate the smell of Youth Dew (Estee Lauder' ) and can smell it a mile off- baked cake is the best smell - just having watched 'Bake Off'!!

I love the smell of horse nuts, hay and horses
honeysuckle, lavender and herbs in the sun
newly cut grass
l'Occitane Amber perfume
oil paints and turps
ozone rich bedding

woodlands

dislike poor hygiene on people
heavy perfumes
most rotting things
petrol
meat stalls in hot countries

I like the smell 9f cigars and pipes but not cigarettes. My mum loved the smell of petrol but ut makes me nauseous

I have come to dislike the smell of perfumed washing powder, cleaning agents and house sprays because I am allergic to the perfumes used and become ill if anywhere near them.

I like the smell of hot tar, tarmac being spread etc. wood stoves, cigar smoke, but dislike the smell of stale beer or spirits.

I'm not keen on the scent of vanilla either, though I like the flavour in most things.

For Sarah1954, there is a perfume company namely
perfume-parlour.co.uk that produce a perfume called ‘Woodfire’ which is a favourite of mine. They do a very reasonably priced small sample size that I can wholeheartedly recommend approx £3 !
My number one detestable smell is Garlic 🧄 in all it’s forms I can detect it 6ft away 🤮
