What is an odd smell that you would admit to enjoying?

I like the scent of Vicks vapo rub, my partner when he's a bit sweaty, and diesel fuel.

I am embarrased to say that the smell of a skunk from a distance is pleasing to me. Aaaaahhhhh! Why did I admit that?

This was going to be my answer. There may be a connection between that and herbal passtime I had in my younger days.

Yep, I can see that connection! Hahaha!

@Fearlessfreep, certainly 😀

kawz you like that dank...refreshing refreshing fragrance. i see skunks evolving into something else in the next million years!!

We had horses when I grew up, and the smell of anything to do with a horse, from the leather in the tack room to the typically less pleasant parts like mucking stalls will instantly put me in a calm and peaceful place in my mind.

Not odd, but coconut oil.
Teenage boy on the coast, teenage girls covered in tanning oil, ahh the memories.

@btroje it is a really strong smell for me recalling memories, later they made surfboard wax that smelled of coconut, hot days it would be wafting out on the water, awesome.

Freshly laid tar on the road

I was just about to type that! According to my grandmother, it's very good for coughs and colds, so whenever I had one as a child we'd go off searching for some tarmac to sniff. People probably thought she was mad - but nobody ever told her so because this was in Wales; Wales has a long tradition of witches, so you don't risk insulting old Welsh ladies.

I'm right with you on the diesel fuel. Also, exhaust from classic car engines (especially muscle cars,) the smell of a tire shop, fresh paint, and skunks.

Burning or burnt matches.

Pipe tobacco and tobacco barns, horse sweat, fresh cut grass, oil paint, automotive smells when a car is being worked on, patchouli, pot, incense, book stores.

Methyl ethyl ketone, do you work in the aircraft industry perhaps?

@Fearlessfreep yes, Methyl ethyl ketone I worked in the printing industry

They use it to clean the sealer of off the sheet metal of the wings as they seal them. I know the smell well. Just a touch to a fly with a rag with Mek would kill it dead. I poured some on a huge cockroach once and it had zero fucks to give. It just crawled off trailing mek.

Denatured ethanol is more preferred... I think she IPA at the lab all the time, but wish it was methanol or ethanol instead. @Donotbelieve
