Smells That You Like and Others Don't

[CeCe Newbie]

I love vanilla, apple, and sweet pea!

My favorite "weird smells" are gasoline, doctor's offices, tea-tree oil, Home Depot/Lowe's, PetSmart, and dirt.

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.

Nothing weird about that. Hardware stores smell awesome.

I haven't smelled the dirt one, but I remember smelling both the bonfire and the leather ones, and they're pretty spot-on. In the gin&tonic one, I swear you can even smell the fizz in it.

They have a lot of sweet scents, but some weird ones: black pepper, condensed milk, crayon, fiery curry, glue, mildew (?!), sawdust, and waffles.
