I really like the smell of chocolate, bacon, sharpie markers, and gasoline. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke, and body odor.

I love the smell of fruity lotion and coffee (even though I don't like the taste) and anything minty.

I hate the smell that absorbs in my hair after I go outside. I always say, "I smell like a tree."

I like the smell of this new bathroom spray I bought. Vanilla indulgence

Old dirty socks stink to high heaven.

I love, love, love the smell of petrol! (I'm not an arsonist, I swear). And I love the smell of freshly cut grass, but only get to smell it for a few months every year because of English weather. Lavender is also wonderful. Besides the obvious things (like poo and vomit), I hate the smell of cigarettes and curry. Sometimes the latter will make me gag :)

When I was a kid I liked the smell of gas. (Or petrol) Not anymore, I think they put additives in it now that makes it smell different.

Theres onion fields next to my place, just before they pick them the smell is awesome.

There is a huge hedge around the apartment complex down the street from me. Right now it has these tiny flowers in bloom... some kind of autumn flower that smells heavenly!

The blooms of butterfly bushes smells amazing!
They're so sweet.
I love the smell of bread baking, good food cooking, cinnamon, and Christmas trees.

Gardenias! YES! I just bought this new lotion that is apple and gardenia scented. It's amazing!

And I don't think I have ever cooked with lard, so I can't even imagine how that goes.

Gardenia paired w/Apple, that's gotta be delicious...

When I was a young girl, amongst my numerous " crappy " jobs was a door-door salesman for PARENT'S MAGAZINE...

We were always dropped off in a low-end neighborhood, their grease of choice for cooking was /is LARD...
