Why am I asking this question? I heard it posted on the radio and thought it may be a good topic to see how people sense of smell differ.

I personally like the smell of ammonia. When ammonia is in a bucket to clean a floor I love the smell of it. I guess to me it means a clean environment.

What weird smell do you like?

I like the smell of tar, gun powder and skunk... Yeah, I know, skunk shouldn't smell good, but for some reason I like it (it reminds me of summer).

that and also the smell of being at a concert, which is basically sweat and testosterone. This combination doesn't smell good elsewhere just at concerts.

I wouldn't say it's a good smell......but it really is surprising how well you put up with it......particularly when it's so crowded that sweat starts running down your head within a minute...

But anyway, there is a certain smell that I like......but my memory is fail atm.

Gasoline, new books (a smell I haven't been feeling much since I got my kindle :cry: ), new electronics, things that stay packed with cigarettes for a long while and pass them their smell, new magazines, nail polish, and a product used to clean floor which's name I forgot.

This isn't a smell, but I think this thread is a good place for this.

Do you remember the taste of water from a water gun when you were a kid? I loved that.

Definitely gasoline. Reminds me of the smell of airports, and I absolutely loved air travel when I was younger.

I imagine many people have weird smells they like because those smells are tied to particularly pleasurable memories.

Reading all the posts I forgot to mention Magic Markers. So to refine my responses in order of most favorite first its:

  1. Ammonia
  2. Magic Markers
  3. Gasoline
