Strange/Bizarre odors that some people love - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There's no accounting for taste, or smell, in this case. Here are six intriguing, strange odors that some people love.

Everyone has their own unique smell preferences, some of which are stranger than others. Why do some people seem to prefer odors that others find to be strange or downright offensive? Some of these odor preferences are based on memories or experiences from childhood.

Gotta love the man licking that woman's armpit

My favorite is gasoline but I avoid breathing it in since it is super bad for you.

My children love the smell of gasoline. Everytime I pump gas they get out and say that gas smells sooooo good! I remember on Charm school w/ Monique when the ladies had to come up with a scent for a perfume one of the ladies suggested gasoline.

I'm a fan of the smell of gasoline, too.

Another weird one I love - the smell of my clothes after I pull it out of storage. No, not mothballs or anything like that (they're always safely stored in Rubbermaid boxes). My clothes always has this pleasantly musty smell. My mom thinks I'm crazy, but it's true. I do like that smell.

You're going to think I'm crazy, but I love the smell of Christmas. When we take the ornaments and the tree down from the attic, I swear they have a unique smell and I love it!

Gasoline. I don't go sniffing it, but at the gas station, that aroma....ahhhhhh.

The smell of my late father's shoe repair business. Acetone, thinner, leather, rubber...I kept one of his apron's after he passed away and I have it in a box. When I desire, I open that box, take out the apron and just smell it. After 4 years it still smells like my father's place of business.

Mikado · 11-10-2007, 03:21 AM

ok heres a weird one, back in the days when i played hockey, I loved the smell of the changeroom....the wet floor and towels, the smell of the hockey pucks, the tape on the sticks, the cold cement floor and the wooden benches all came together to make a regular conglomeration of smells that were unique to that one place.

coffield3 · 11-10-2007, 07:48 AM
