Honesty time, I'll go first
Methyl Mercaptan (gas smell) - I actually quite like this
Newborn poop (breastfed). Smells mostly like burning rubber?!?
Roofing tar/Tarmac
Squash concentrate straight from the bottle. The really small ones.
The smell of victory
Fashy tears
Swarfega, the old green goopy version.
Creosote. And hot fresh tarmac.

All of these, bar the poop?!
Nope, failing on this one. If I like it why shouldn't I? Some things might not be approved of by others but how would I know without a smells and tastes you shouldn't like first ? I could guess but that might get me a ban or assume people don't like the taste and smell of chocolate because I love cycling past the Lindt chocolate factory where I used to work when they're roasting.
GT85 absolutely ruined my skin. Highly unrecommended
Castrol R might not be many left on here have heard or smelt it, Brut from 40 years ago and not forgotten uhu glue
Another vote for creosote.
Thought of one: cyanide, which is the same as... .
Castrol R
The smell of Cradley Heathens speedway on a Saturday evening.
For me though it's burnt clutches and 2 stroke smoke that makes your eyes sting.
Closely followed by mud burnt onto disc brake calipers and rotors.
If I like it why shouldn't I?
Because sometimes they're really bad for you. I love the smell of electrical soldering, but it's super bad for you.
Household emulsion paint, mmmm, yummmy.
Oh and, I used to buy artists orange cadmium aqueous dispersion paint (pigment in water, for mixing with acrylic mediums), the smell of that made me want to drink it, it was gorgeous!
Tastes... sprouts?
Tarmac
Technically hot bitumen is the main constituent here, but thanks for capitalising the generic nameas a brand. PM me your bank details, and I'll ask Simone in the Marketing Team to send you a tenner 🤣
For the record, I'm completely with you on the smell of that too.
I only came to this thread to see how long it would take someone to say...
The ex
>the ex
Gaaaaah!
I was recently in a room with a woman who was the same age as an ex and wore the same perfume, which I don't think I have smelled in 20 years.
Some neurons fired...
Hot bitumen gives me to boak.
I like the smell of construction resins (hilti and rawl r-kem, I'm looking at you), metal angle gridings
Cigarettes/smoke. When I was a kid most of the extended family smoked, it's a fond memory, weirdly.
Cigars even more evocative. Grandpa smoked a pipe, but if my dad went away with the RAF, he'd bring Grandpa some cigars through duty free. Grandpa smoking a cigar meant dad was home.
My own farts.
Copydex
Humbrol balsa cement
Evostik
This is beginning to sound like I've got a bit of a problem 🤣
The smell of the cows in the milking parlour at work.
Kids are like farts. Your own are great, other people's are horrible.
But in a similar vein, I find the aroma of my poo (sampled at normal seated height) gives me a useful feedback on my health. At present I'm at the tail end (pun inevitable) of a bit of winter flu and I can guage when I'm free from it
But Castrol R...ooh.
