Aromas you like - and don't
The Blindfolded Ladies thread got me thinking about aromas that I like and don't like.
Off the top of my head ... Likes: I like the smell of a rebuilt engine when it is first started up. The smell of assembly lube burning off is a rare treat. Gasoline exhaust from a carbureted engine on a cold morning. My wife, pretty much any time. Puppy breath. Bread right out of the oven. Go Kart exhaust - when we ran alcohol and caster oil Alfalfa hay drying in the field I keep adding to the likes. I think about what I like more than I think about what I don't like.  Don't like: Any kind of perfume or cologne Raw diesel fuel Cat pee

I like the smell of baking cookies, or most foods cooking. Puppy breath is a good one. Fresh cut grass, and popping a cold beer after mowing.
I hate diesel exhaust and diesel fuel. I will never own a diesel powered vehicle for sure. The bad BO of unwashed people is gross.

The smell of diesel dozers and backhoes on a construction site is the smell of progress.
Yet the same smell from a diesel pickup truck in a starbucks parking lot is repulsive. |

Avoiding easy answers like. Fresh baked bread or stripper lotion.
Like: the smell of a new tire shop. Dislike: simmering chicken.

I like the smell of nubuck leather, like the interior of a really old car, or a high end sofa. Another smell I like is aged and cured tobacco.
I also enjoy wearing perfume. It's always floral toned with notes of spices. I don't enjoy smelling like a sofa or tobacco barn. What I dislike is the smell of marijuana, followed closely by tobacco that's been smoked. Having it on a guy's breath is just nasty. I also don't like the smell of bedding brake pads. That smell makes me quite queazy and dizzy.
