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

I love the smell of Pigs, my friend lived in the countryside and the bus I caught to visit her stopped just by the Pig farm, I absolutely loved the smell when I alighted from the bus. I also love the smell of Tar, my Mum would tell me to breathe deeply when we saw men working on the road and we passed the tar barrel, she always said the smell was good for us.

Love smells of fresh ginger, new car interior, fried onions.
Hate smells of fried mushrooms, fresh plaster

Freshly laundered linen dried outdoors; tar, creosote, bitumen.

i hate the smell of coffee, i love the smell of tar being laid on the roads/pavements and the old firelighters you used to get (firelighters don't smell the same now).

Hate the smell of :
Marzipan
The Bin lorry
B.O.
Estee Lauder 'White Linen'
Damp and mould in houses and on furnishings, clothes etc

Love the smell of:
My Grandchildren
A fresh newspaper
Fish and chips with vinegar in the open air
The sea
Babies

freshly laundered anything that's been hung outside
Flowers especially bluebells
Good food cooking
The smell of a Christmas cracker when it bangs

I love the smell of self tanner, after dried on skin. Also Old Spice cologne…reminds me of my dad.

I cannot walk through a perfume dept (such as airport duty free). All perfume disagrees with me and gives me a violent headache.
I have had to move seats in restaurants due to strong perfume emainating from a nearby diner!!
All I ask is that others are aware that we do not all embrace strong scents !!
I however can tolerate ocean smelling wash detergents and lemon scents .

Likes: a collection of old paperback books, smells to me like coffee cream chocolates
Waitrose Bathroom Cleaner: smells just like "dressing" the stiffening applied to new cotton dresses when I was a child

Dislikes: what a joy to know it's not just me that hates heavy perfumes, patchouli is the worst for me, brings a mental image of a "crusty" with a can of lager and a poor patient dog on a string
As a child I was convinced celery was called,"smellery", still think I was right!
Thanks for an entertaining thread

When I was a teenager all the boys smoked and ate mints. Kissing was a mixture of those smells and was very attractive at the time!

Love the smell of petrol too! Also a lit cigar; my late DH smoked them often and it reminds me of him. He did give up though, over 20 years ago, when we bought a brand new car - he said he didn't want to spoil the smell of the leather seating!
Also the smell of his aftershave, Chanel Pour Monsieur; I have kept some, and only have to open it to bring him back..... It was the only scent he ever wore.
Love the smell of frying onions.
And the smell of a freshly lit match.

Hate the smell of BBQs, any strong cheap perfume, air fresheners (open the windows). Love freshly cut wood, new leather, the sea, lavender, rubbed tomato leaves, creosote.

Old fashioned roses are my favourite smell. I don't like the smell of lilies.

Love the smell of new books...
Cut grass
Nag Champa incense
Cigars
My dog
Tarmac...reminds me of my childhood
Stables and horses

I like the smell of spent partypoppers but not smoke. I love the smell of red wine but I can't stand the taste.

I hate the smell of the shop ‘Lush’ (and its products). I’ve just come back from Zurich where, walking down a street, I knew there was a ‘Lush’ shop before it even came into sight.

I love anything sandalwoody.

Vanilla scented may be due to theory it reminds people of the smell of mother’s milk. I love swarfega May be linked to getting tar on hand after popping bubbles on the road as a child. Also play do. Very almond scented.hate lily scents

I loved the smell of vanilla and had a perfume I wore to work everyday until a new Nurse started and came into my room and said "oh god, it smells just like Play Doh in here'
Put me right off wearing it ! 😄

I love the smell of earth potatoes lie in, hate vanilla, very sickly, love Youth Dew and most other perfumes. Burning wood and autumn trees. Lots of lovely smells around too many to mention!

Freshly cut grass

Do not like the smell of petrol,

Aretificial air fresheners.

Diesel fumes (I know!), creosote & foreign cigarettes.

Like smell Zambuk ointment

I dislike most artificial scents, such as scented candles, and air freshener (and many perfumes), but I like the smell of bleach!

Love the smell of dogs’ feet and peat fires.
Hate fabric conditioner, so fake and cloying. Hate barbecues.
Youth Dew reminds me of my mother so I like it for that reason but actually hate it! I don’t think people use a lot of it, it’s just very strong, it even looks strong!

Domestic not domestic!
