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

Freshly ground coffee - strangely always smells better than it tastes !! One perfume I absolutely hate is Patchouli. I think it degrades and eventually smells stale and dirty. Lingers on clothing too.

Dislike the smell of Poison perfume - gives me a headache. But Youth Dew was my mum's favourite perfume so like smelling that. Don't like the smell of coconut in moisturiser etc but like eating it.
Love the smell of real coffee but don't drink it. Love the smell of seaweed - the stinkier the better!

I never used to like anything vanilla. Sickly, until I likened it to ice cream and now I love vanilla air fresh, coffee etc etc.
Love the smell of petrol, fresh cur grass, car engines, Youth Dew, it’s not a case of using it like air freshener but a little drop is very strong I’m afraid. Clinique’s Happy, Lots more that will come to me eventually. I hate the smell of body odour and damp clothes.

I can’t abide the smell of lilies, hyacinths or fresia
I like basil , wooden furniture when new and washing without softeners coming off the washing line

I love the smell of cigars they remind me of my dad, also pipe tobacco. I also like the smell of methylated spirit he used to use to run his steam engines he built from scratch. I like the smell of cut grass and bonfire smoke. I dislike the smell of celery, or the smell of barbecued meat.

The small of tea makes me heave, I love the smell of old books.

I am surprised so many don't like the small of barbecued meats!

I love papers ... and love their different smells.
Occasionally there's one I don’t like - but that's unusual these days.

The smell of new carpet is always nice, washing dried outside, roses and favourite perfume aromatics elixir.
Not like smell of petrol, domestic or imperial leather soap. I will cross the road rather than walk behind anyone smoking, vapping- yuk not breathing that filth.

Domestic not domestic!

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!

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

Like smell Zambuk ointment
Caraway seeds

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

Wild Meadowsweet, on a summer's evening

Clothes dried outside
Freshly baked bread
Freshly cut grass
most flowers
Clinique Happy perfume
Babies

Do not like the smell of petrol,
bleach
B.O.
bad breath
stale carpets
doggy smell indoors (most animal smells indoors)
overripe apples gone bad.
Aretificial air fresheners.

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!

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 ! 😄

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 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.

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

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

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