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!!

Mek (paInt solvent)

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

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

basted

@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.

@Rugglesby i can smell it now

I loved the smell of leaded gasoline as a kid..and Vicks Vapo Rub as well..also turpentine & linseed oil..fresh cut grass of course..

i liked the gasoline smell too.!!

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.

The aroma when you first walk into a used book store.

when i was in 1st an second grade or so, i woud like the fragrance of the Pug and music books...the music books that had 'home on the range' on them

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.

I adore the smell of pipe tobacco!

The fresh, grassy scent of my horses. I used to love to bury my nose in their manes.
The photo is of me jumping a log with my Walking Horse, Banjo, near Soldier, KY.

I also love the smell of diesel fuel! Another is the smell of a Ranch/Rodeo. Basically Horse shit.

I like the smell of cows and silage not that I am looking for a cologne of that name

2

I like the Vicks too.
I am really a fan of incense also.

2

The coppery smell of my bathtub facet.

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.

Diesel fuel -yes. I sold back my VW TDI wagon and now have a gasoline golf as my daily driver. I miss the smell of diesel fuel when filling tank. (I grew up around diesel tractors. )

I put Vicks in my nose every night before I go to sleep. Keeps my membranes from drying out. But when I smell the exhaust of an old gas car, with those not completely burnt fuel. It brings back the old days. But I realize it's not very healthy.

Turpentine (I miss having a painting studio), black and white photo chemistry (and time in a dark room), and vanilla
