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'm not a fan of the "new car smell", for some reason. The "new computer smell", on the other hand, is a rare treat.

I've always found the new car smell to be very unpleasant, which makes sense since I'm pretty sure it's just a bunch of chemicals off-gassing.

It's that or artificially added by using a bit of baby powder.

they even make new car smell scent that you can put in used cars. if they want to go overboard they'll pour it down the air vents

Gross.

I think the only reason that some people say they like it is because of the association with, you know, a new car.

When I was a kid, my grandparents got a new car. I got sick in it all the time because of it. I hate that smell to this day - but at least I don’t get sick anymore.
