Weird smells/scents that you enjoy

[Scott]

Most of the new stuff you guys are naming (rubber cement, gasoline and cassette tapes) get their smell from Toluene, which is also a nice smell, cancerous though

Thanks Captain Bringdown.

Books that are past 30 years old smell quite nice, they have this wonderfuly odd smell. Kinda like old houses.

coolant from open air grocery store freezers.

I spent many a super market visit with my head stuck down inside the freezers smelling it as a child, and still do it on occasion..

Nitrous Oxide...uh, huh huh huh huh...

Ethyl Chloride used to be a weird smell I enjoyed.

Keep in mind, I haven't smelled either one in close to 15 years...

Gasoline is nice.

I really like the smell of sawdust, something about that is sort of neat

 I used to like it, but I've worked around it and breathed it in for the last two years. I can't smell it any more, except if it's pine, alder, or cherry.

New book smell! And in some cases, old book smell.

You can just feel all those "smarts" wafting right up into your brain.

Used bookstore/old book/library smell.

The smell of Best Buy when you first walk in the door.

Cow or Horse manure.  Seriously.  Not like "stick your face in a pile" enjoyment or bottle it and spray it around the house, but to be around a barn or a pasture on a breezy day when it's not too hot.  It's nice.  The smell of earth and hay.

Blue berry muffins baking. . .especially if it's what wakes me up.

Rain - before it rains, during, and after - three different smells
Apples - Apples on the tree, cider apples, apple pie
Mint - I have a mint garden, so I can tell you 3 different smells of mint - all good
Different trees, plywood, and sawdust
Gasoline
Cigars, pipes
New Books and Old books

Individually the smell of hair spray and ink are really bad - but combined, the smells are really intoxicating.

I know what you mean, for me it's a conforting feeling!!! As far as other WEIRD/STRANGE smells, not normal smells, I'd have to say tobacco before it's lighted. I love the smell of a cigarrette before its lighted, of course once it's lighted, I hate it!!! Oh and for some reason the smell of Moth Balls is another weird smell I like!!!

I absolutely love the smell of wood smoke and pine.  Nothing beats the smell of the northern woods when you're camping.   

And the smell my ass creates after a night of pizza and beer.  It's a like a rosy air freshener.

Good grief. Leave it to Dale to find a farting emoticon!

The weirdest smell I think I actually enjoy is probably tar. I love the smell when they're tarring the road, and I'll actually roll my windows down to enjoy it.


My favorite smell overall is probably cherries though. Maraschino cherries.

Why women wear perfume that stinks like flowers is beyond me.  They pay 90 dollars an ounce to smell like a garden when they could just go to Baskin Robbins, dab a little cherry on and be good to go.
