Smells That You Like and Others Don't

[preciousjeni]

I was just talking yesterday about the smell of dead animal. I like its heavy, woodsy scent when it's not too strong and I'm passing through some woods in my car. It reminds me of home...but also, there's something in the odor that makes me hungry for meat. Throwback to some sort of early human instinct?

I also like skunk, gasoline at a distance, and dog breath.

On a weird note, I have a really sensitive nose and I am strongly affected by odors I don't like. I can smell milk going bad without opening the fridge. If I smell an odor that's offensive to me, I completely lose my appetite and can't focus on anything but the smell.
