What’s a weird smell that you really enjoy?

A carburetor that has been sitting for so long, the car needs to be cranked for 30/45 seconds before the good fuel in the lines flushes the float bowl.
Reminds me of Grandpa Comoesta.

 

[Mesh Gear Fox]

Jet fuel.

I find diluted bleach to be a really comfy smell.

 

[Epikusername4]

vinegar

I find diluted bleach to be a really comfy smell.

Makes me feel like I'm back at swimming lessons, especially when it's hot and muggy as well as faintly bleachy.

I like bleach the same way I like gasoline and tobacco smoke--a faint amount, a whiff in the distance. If you put me in a truck cab with a smoker and the windows up I'm not going to be enthused.


Opening a fresh Band-Aid is a nice smell that doesn't last at all. I also like isopropyl alcohol; no worries about overdoing that because it evaporates so quickly.

I like the smell of active fires. For some reason the smell when left on clothing is pretty terrible, but while it's active its quite pleasant.

The glue sticks in primary school smelled like buttered popcorn and I’d always get yelled at for smelling them because they smelled really good. Fortunately, unlike fluid glue in tubes, glue sticks don’t have solvents in and therefore you don’t catch a buzz off of them.

Burning Cam2 with VP fuel a close second. Love being reminded of my racing days.

 

[OrionBalls]

A combination of chicken shit and salt marsh with honeysuckle undertones reminds me of home.

 

[Nice Comoesta]

Oh, and burning sage. Reminds me of PaPa Comoesta diffrent guy

I keep a small spring of thyme tucked on my hat at work because i like the smell. Not even joking

 

[Bob's Fuckass Head]

The grassy musk of tomato plants is one of the greatest joys of gardening.

A lot of these smells seem to be normal and not that weird.

I love the smell of raw garlic.

large batches of green chiles being fire roasted in the open air market:

 

[Helarctos]

A certain combination of concrete, mold and engine oil.

A lot of these smells seem to be normal and not that weird.

I love the smell of raw garlic.

Woah, way to outdo us there with a common ingredient in cooking.

 

[DwayneTheSockJohnson]

Freshly chopped fire loggs. Especially if they're from younger trees.

All these food smells--come back when the food smell you love is durian or something.

Dry erase markers always had a nice smell to me for some reason. I don't actively seek the scent out but the smell the and the sound of one writing on a whiteboard as a kid was always oddly nice.

Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) and nail polish.
