I like all of the natural smells, I can't stand men's cologne, I'll put up with women's though.

Seems like everyone loves gasoline. I like gasoline as well. I also like the smell of paint and nail polish remover.

Apparently gasoline is not unusual. I like skunk, too, because it reminds me of San Diego. No skunks here in Vegas, and when I drive back to SD, the first time I smell skunk I know I'm close to my childhood home.

Also, I like the smell of fresh pipe and cigar smoke. I don't like cigarettes, and the stale smoke of cigars, once it's settled in to the furniture, is nasty. But I've always like the fresh smoke for some reason. Some pipe tobaccos I think smell better than incense.

house hold chemicals.

Skunk isn't bad from a distance but lemme tell you what you smell in your car and what you smell when the stuff is all over your shirt are to very different smells.

Gas smells good, Silicone caulk, Campho-Phynique(sp) Burnt Circuit board.. umm..

One big problem we have around here is chicken manure. The farmers will empty their chicken houses and dump tons of manure in the cow pastures to fertilize the fields but sometimes a big pile will set there a week in the sun and start to stink REALLY bad. I don't think there is a person in the world that could like that smell. Once it's speard out the smell leaves in a few days, but it'll stick for a year if left in a pile. You can also smell it from over a mile away.

2-cycle engine exhaust.. Reminds me of snomobiling when i was younger

rubber cement! and magic markers, the big black toxic kind, (I assume they are toxic) but i love the smell.

Nitromeathane I use it in pc planes and helis

the smell of a sinus infection...kinda like steak. i like steak.

I like the wet earthy smell of rotting vegetation in early spring in the forest. I also sort of enjoy the smell of nitrocellulose lacquer. I build stringed instruments (guitars, mandolins) and that nasty smell always means the end is in sight.
My sister is with alot of you on the smell of gasoline, but that one is really lost on me.

I like the smell of freshly paved roads.

pine sol
gasoline
my cats breath (gross eh)

I hate skunk, can't stand it hate hate hate!

But I do like Gas, 4 stroke exhaust(fourwheelers)

I like the smell of boat exhaust (Wakeboarding)

I like cow shit, I help on a farm and I've lived around them my whole life.

The smell of a hairy pussy.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Gasoline.. and fireworks

The smell of weed when someone lights up....though I quit years ago, it still smells like a holiday with evergreens all around and fun! (Contact high? Perhaps!)
Danish Blue Cheese. Smelly...but delish.
Horses, stables and leather saddles.

Marijuana...

Gasoline.. in the morning!

Diesel exhaust - I love the smell of airports
Bleach - I like a clean pool, a clean counter, a clean . . . . everything.
Manure - reminds me of Grandma's farm when I was a little kid.
Chartpak ADmarkers - I love the smell of xylene in the morning!

The Mines around here used to spray tree sap on gravel roads to minimize the dust. I thought the stuff smelled good, but it was was pretty hard to get off the underside of the car.

Permanent marker, bleach, my fingernails right after I cut them (if that's not weird, I don't know what is) which would almost definitely be described as a "bad" smell by most. Ohh, and skunk. Mmmm skunky.

I love the smell of durians! I think Asians in general don't mind it, many even love it. But it seems that the rest of the world have an aversion to itl. Any of you guys love the smell too?

The usual, gas, cordite... as well as fresh tar, those old mimiograph sheets, all sorts of printer's inks, fallen leaves. Smells, both good and bad invoke feelings of nostangia. I can remember all sorts of times through my life through songs and smells.

gasoline's ok but I prefer kerosene.

Burnt Hair (don't know why).
Skunk is sometimes enjoyable...dont' know why on that either

I love the smell of gasoline. Asphalt, most people hate it. Also new mulch, my wife hates that smell. The smell of fall, it's kinda dank, but to me it signals cold weather and I can't stand the heat.

gasoline is my favorite I occasionaly crave it

Gasoline, I enjoyed Fishing trips with my grandfather in his old boat and all you could smell while the boats engine was running was gasoline. Now everytime I'm at a gas station I sniff as much of it in as I can. I don't know how good that is for me but I enjoy it nonetheless.

the smell of a hockey locker room.

Natural gas powered automobiles
 

I am from Florida originally and on every corner were boiled p-nut stands. They use natural gas to boil them and keep them warm. Now when a automobile running on natural gas revs in front of me, my mouth waters at the smell. Man do I miss boiled p-nuts...

Hey everyone.. :) Some of my fave 'bad' smells would need to include...

1) Skunk/Hash - How can either ever really smell 'bad' tho?
2) Tarmac - The smell of fresh tarmac is just simply special (I also heard once that the smell of bitumin is actually quite good for you.. Clears the lungs out or something.. Dunno if its true or not but anyway)...
3) Soggy Fish N' Chip Wrappers - They wreak! But in a sort of good way... Especially in your car when it's raining outside and your driving home...
4) Cold Balti or Kebab - The morning after a night on the pop....

Ok that's my tuppence worth... :)

O'kay, I expected things like gasoline, skunk, fresh tar (all of which I like), but was surprised at the person that stated "my cat's breath". I've always liked cat and dog's breath that others declare is "nasty!" and thought I was quite alone in this. :) Now here's one that no one's stated and may get a resounding ewww...I like the kind of butty smell that comes from cleaning out your belly button! Now, I admit it's weird, but how different is that from liking the smell of cow shit?!! Fine, it's different, but (pun intended)....oh forget any rationalizing, it is weird.

Vaccum cleaners. Ever since I was a kid. Old ones mainly, cuz newer ones don't smell.

Why is it that your own farts smell great but other people's smell vile?


It's one of life's little mysteries....

I thought of another...malt vinegar

Yep true that, I was packing that the other day at work and I went "woah thats strong.....and nice!"

Cow manure in the spring. When they start eating the fresh grass instead of the dry hay it gets all sweet smelling.

Dirt - Good black soil. Reminds me of the potting bench at Grandma's Floral shop. I played in that so often as a little kid. Had to stand on a 5 gallon bucket to reach.

Construction smells, paint, sheetrock, fresh 2x4's, etc. Worked with my Dad for years. Even when I was only 5 and 6 I helped sweep and pick up stuff at Construction sites.

Old Pineapple when it's started fermenting. - not sure why that one is.

I can't stand Diesel or fresh cut grass because I've quite allergic to them. Riding on the bus used to give me almost instant headaches cause of the diesel smell and grass, well just rolling in it will cause my eyes to tear up and me to start sneezing. If I mow the lawn and don't take something before I start then by the time I'm done my eyes are pouring like I'm weeping, they're almost swollen shut and my nose looks like I've got a miserable cold. I hate allergies.

Sorry 'bout the double post.

Hmm, hadn't thought of that one, I'll second it.
