Do you have any smell you like/dislike even though most people don't? (sh.itjust.works)

I'll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.

I love the smell of dittos, it's unlikely I'll ever smell that again. I also love the smell of garages.

I hate the smell of food after I've finished a meal. Every weekend I make protein blueberry pancakes. The house smells delicious until I'm done eating, and then it feels cloying.

I reaaallly hate the smell of other people, except my husband. I feel like I have an extra strong sense of smell, and I really hate the scalp smell some people have, especially during a humid summer. Nauseating! And forget about it if I can smell your feet through your shoes, I will definitely make some excuse and leave. And body odor, especially from people who don't use deodorant or shower every day. I know that's a personal choice and I should be tolerant but it's so overpowering, I really hate it.

Now that I think about it, I guess these aren't too uncommon after all.
