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 bleach.

    Absolutely hate the stench of coffee. About the only thing worse is coffee with vanilla in it. Disgusting.

      Ooh, I was struggling to come up with one but you helped me think of one: vanilla-scented anything is gross in my opinion. Real vanilla is fine but the synthetic stuff is nasty. Unfortunately for me, all of my friends seemed to love vanilla-scented candles and lotions and I couldn’t escape it as a teen and college student. Bleh.

    That is not nearly unpopular.

    For me, pure Isopropyl alcohol. Reminds me of doctor’s office when I was a kid, and I like it.

      There’s literally an Outkast song called “Gasoline” about it!

      🎵 “Don’t everybody like the smell of gasoline…” 🎶

      You would hate my house. I clean with straight vinegar since it’s antibacterial and food. I’m cleaning with something that I can eat rather than toxic cleaners.

      LOVE black powder. Whatever’s in my AR-15 shells is foul though. No other round bothers me. .22LR, .22MAG, .380. .45, any given shotgun shell, no problem. Every .223 round smells awful.

      Anyone know what that might be?

        Dunno. I’ve mostly fired 7.62x51 NATO as well as some other NATO standard rounds. They are smelled the same.

    A bagel covered in cheese and toasted is a heinous smell. I love cheese and I love bagels but for some reason it makes me gag.

    Cat piss does not smell particularly bad to me.

    Maybe it’s toxoplasma speaking.

      I have cats, but they mostly pee where they’re supposed to.

      The icky cat pee smell happens when they pee on things not designed for cat pee, and then those things aren’t adequately washed. E.g., suitcases, clothes, curtains, backpacks.

      So, someone in my position might not think cat pee smells terrible, except I’ve been to houses where the cats weren’t as well-behaved, and those houses stank.

      When my wife and I were house-hunting, one of the houses we disqualified solely for the cat pee smell.

      Yea I’m not a fan of them but cat piss and shit smells don’t disgust me at all. I can eat in the kitchen after my cat had a shit on the other side of the room, no problem.

      As you say, could be the toxoplasma.

      Most seafood doesn’t get me too badly, though I still don’t like it. Cooking shrimp, on the other hand, makes it hurt to breathe for some reason. Not the same as nausea, but it still sucks.

      Nauseated. Though as an American I’m about ready to give up on this crusade. Nauseous means you make others want to vomit.

        https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nauseous

        They’ve even got a special note for people like you:

        Those who insist that nauseous can properly be used only to mean “causing nausea” and that its later “affected with nausea” meaning is an error for nauseated are mistaken. Current evidence shows these facts: nauseous is most frequently used to mean physically affected with nausea, usually after a linking verb such as feel or become; figurative use is quite a bit less frequent. Use of nauseous to mean “causing nausea or disgust” is much more often figurative than literal, and this use appears to be losing ground to nauseating. Nauseated is used more widely than nauseous when referring to being affected with nausea.

    In college, I worked at a little aerospace manufacturing place running an NC milling machine, and I really like the smell of the cutting oil/lubricant they spray on the rotating cutters. I now work in software engineering at a company that makes rocket engines, and I like walking through the shop and smelling that smell.

      Yeah, I can still smell the lubricant we used in our high school machine shop. It was water based and we called it blue juice
