Aromas you like - and don't

[stevej37]

One that is used to make things smell good is one that I can't stand.....Febreeze.

Most liked....the smell in a pine forest.

[cockerpunk]

another one i like, is that the city of duluth, smells like maple syrup sometimes, esp on cold mornings.

Good Smell: Most of Hershey, PA smells like chocolate!

Bad smells: Any form of burning tobacco or stink weed AKA wacky tobaccy. Boiling cabbage, or cooking cabbage is horrid. We used to live close to a cotton gin. It smelled bad and left yellow dust on everything outside. Another really bad one is a paper plant. PU.

Sometimes good, sometimes bad: A local Purina dog food place sometimes smells just like everyone in the neighborhood is cooking toast. Other times it is a bit off, but not horrid.

Hear! Hear!

I don't gag. But it is actually painful when it somehow gets past my lips. For the life of me I can't figure out why anybody would put vinegar in or on or even near anything edible.

Ammonia is worse than vinegar to me.

Some dickwad just came in eating an egg sandwich.
Stinks!

[LEAKYSEALS951]

Likes- The electrical smell of an open frame motor going full tilt in a slot car/model train engine where you can see the blue glow of the brushes arcing.



Dislikes- The smell inside a BUC-EE's gas station- a mix of pine forest candles, stale beef jerky, cotton candy, lard, and white trash.

Lots of good stuff has been posted.

First thing that I thought of was jasmine, honeysuckle, and gardenias (the flowers, not the strippers, LOL at Vash "stripper lotion").

Yeah, not just any car running, but there are certain cars/maybe specific fuels, when you smell them running, the smell is very sweet, often hot rods, but I've also smelled that smell from modern cars (muscle/sports). Leather!


Perfumes, I've always liked the smell of Escape (or the knock-off Sunflower) and Obsession (vanilla).

Dislike - BO, it's horrible. Second year of college (in Florida) I lived 2 doors down from an Indian guy that bathed once a week.

Ugh, yeah, gear oil, ick, horrible stuff!

A Burnt clutch usually smells pretty rank. (probably right up there with Dixie's brake smell)

Way worse. There's a reason that these things use ammonia

Tincture of Benzoin smells great to me

Fresh cut grass, especially in a stadium, on the field, fresh sawdust


I could go the rest of my life never smelling patchouli or cooked brussel sprouts and I would be good

[ErVikingo]

I love the smell of racing brake pads in the morning!

Dislike: The smell of a hog barn 1/2 mile down the road from me.

Ozone after a rain, crushed creosote leaves

[GH85Carrera]

On my way to work at my first job, the shortest route took me past two industrial facilities, side be side. One made pickles so a strong vinegar odor, and next door was a utility pole production plant injecting and covering the poles with fresh creosote to protect the poles.

It reeked and of course there was a traffic light that hated to have to stop at. It was horrible. Still not as bad a paper pulp plant.
