wow, i'm surprised to see so many people agreeing that gasoline smells good... cause it does :-D

Hehheh... You sound like a sailor at sea awaiting a fresh batch of jungle juice straight from the fermenting vessel ;-)

Gasoline is addicting.. the more you smell, the more you WANT to smell...

And, my sweaty feet smell good.

roofing tar. in small doses. oh, and durian fruit.

Spent a lot of time with my dad in a machine shop when I was a kid. I love to go in a auto mechanics shop and get that smell of motor oil and machine parts oil. Brings back good memories.

Gasoline, burnt sulphur (not a good combo), spent ammunition, exploded ordnance. Apparently, if I weren't in the military, I'd likely have a negative FBI profile.

Other not-so-terrible odors I really like a lot: Autumnal rainfall, mown grass, burning wood (campfire/fireplace) or leafpiles. Oh, and Nag Champa!

yuck gasoline is a terrible smell. i dunno how anybody likes it. the smell of burnt matches and tobacco on the otherhand...

Diesel fumes-nothing better than a nice thick, freshly belched cloud of effervescent combusted diesel fuel to clear the sinuses and start your day!!

A Forest-the moistness, the smell of the leaves...nothing better! I know some of you don't have moist forests, but in New England it's all we have.

New shoes-new leather, new rubber and the idea that you will now be able to run much faster?? Come on, who doesn't like that smell.

A mild skunk smell is strangely appealing. Almost I like the repulsion. Same with a Pasadena, Texas, anyone that has been through there knows it smells bad, but I like it for some reason.

i love the smell of gasoline too
cant be that bad then
and fireworks and matches are awsome ;)

mmmm... matches right after you strike them, fireworks, burning wood.
my own earwax.

hate the smell of gasoline though.

2 stroke engine exhaust, it reminds me of racing motorcross we I was a kid, in Australia. The smell certain plastics remind me of my childhood and the new plastic toys, I would get.

i like ... well....... i like ... oooom... sorry Ive forgotten..

oh yeh I like volcanic ash in my hair.. it smells so burny

Fireworks and uhh well, almost anything involving fire.

My wife is weird about smells. I watch her when she doesn't know that I am looking, and she sniffs everything. Sometimes she will smell something, make a horrible face and smell it again.
Other times, when she is with me, she will be cleaning out the refrigerator, say, and smell something and say, "Oh, this smells awful...smell it," and hold it out to me as if I'm going to take a whiff. I tell her that I trust her opinion and take a pass.

I have to hop on the gasoline bandwagon as well...I like the smell of cars; oil, exhaust My Dad and I used to work on our shitty cars all of the time

Have to agree on gas...weird eh maybe they should start regulatin' that shit better. Anyway, has anyone played soccer as a kid? I remember I used to like smelling my shinguards just to see how bad it was, it was really ammonia-like cuz those things just didn't breathe very well. Also, the "fart phenomenon" can partially be explained because we're just so goddarned used to our own farts, and attuned to our own scents. I mean I smell all of my odors all the time and they smell just dandy to me. Maybe it's more a guy thing buy I bet allyas get a perverse pleasure out of sniffing some pleasantly perspirated-on items of clothes. Even if it is just to check if it's clean. Lastly, there's this Chinese fried rice called Hom Nee Gai Lup Chow Fan or something like that, which is Fried Rice with Salted Fish and Chicken. A lot of people I know, including my gf, can't stand the smell of that salted fish. But that shit is gooood.

I have to go with JP4. Jet fuel baby!!!

I know what you are talking about KELLYC. Taste like heaven, smell like hell. We did Cobra Gold in Thailand. Those Thai people gave us several of those foul things. A few days after we ditched them, we find out the Japanese tourists would pay around $150 for them.

Well, skunk, because of it's association with weed. But the strange thing is, nowadays I can't stand to get high (real bad paranoia), but I still love the smell of a dead skunk on the side of the road as I drive by. Sharp and crisp!
