Odd things you like the smell of?

[tml]

When I was a kid there were certain smells I associated with certain buildings, and they weren't offensive. I can only assume it was because of specific cleaning agents that were used. Here are some examples.
--when I was a kid I used to tag along with my Dad to the local Canadian Tire. I found it had a unique smell to it.
--as a kid I used to go to the local library regularly, and again it had a certain odour I only experienced there.

Back in the day, many people used to burn their raked leaves; I recall that leaf fires had a pleasant smell.

Horse manure.

Some newsstand magazines, new issues of Playboy in the 1970's, in particular.

The rubber smell in a Canada Tire store.

Cumin seeds.

I know several people who 'love the smell of their own ass '.

Bailey's Irish Cream.

The smoke smell of bonfires and/or burning leaves (when that was a common thing), the smoky smell on clothes from burned leaves, the clean air smell after a cooling rainfall, diesel fuel fumes.

I wasn't born in the 70's. I couldn't know. Maybe I should say after the 2000's

In that case you may not know about the smell of papers fresh from the ditto machines used in schools before they had photocopiers. Many of us took a big long sniff.

I worked in Admin for quite awhile and I love the smell of hot paper straight from the photocopier.

It's a cozy smell.

You all are gonna think I'm weird for this...

And I am.

Dried menstrual blood on a menstrual pad.

The old revlon flex shampoo...

Gasoline for sure. Sometimes vehicle or power tool exhaust if it is the right type.

I remember that Supertest gasoline smelled better than the other brands.

That sweet smell of marjiuana or hashish from the 1970's.

That smell of a diesel bus that we used to travel on in the 1970's across Canada and on the hippie trail through Europe and Asia.

OK, one more. I used to change the motor oil in my cars in the 1970's as well. That hot motor oil smell.

Freshly cut lawn early in the season.

Feel like a kid again everytime I smell it. The promise of summer just around the corner.

most of these responses aren't odd!

Odd- horse manure, dried blood on menstrual pad.....

That's interesting. I thought most people enjoyed the smell of coffee even if they don't like drinking coffee.

I have a total aversion to the taste and smell of coffee.

It even bothers me if somebody has "coffee breath".

Over the years I have on occasion tried a sip, as I agree it seems most people love it. So I wonder why I don't.

But nope, every time I tried it, it was the same thing. I don't even like Coffee Crisp chocolate bars, and I love chocolate....
