I’ll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.
Not sure if it’s unpopular or not, but the smell of peanut butter is disgusting. The taste is fine, but the smell 🤮
For me peanut butter is not as bad as dry roasted peanuts. For some reason before they’re pulverized, it smells like cigarette smoke to me.

Eucalyptus. Makes my asthmas flair up badly. Strong enough and it closes my airway. No Vicks vaporub for me. Obviously it’s not a smell I like.
Cologne or perfume on a human. Stop. It’s not nice, I don’t want to smell you.
If it’s something you have to be intimately close to smell it’s nice, if you sit down at the table next to me and I can smell it that’s rough
But we all have a scent, would you prefer natural smell to perfume?
Also not OP, but without a doubt yes every time. I’ve don’t think I’ve ever noticed the natural smell of a human being other than myself as a negative smell. OTOH, someone who is fresh out of the shower and used something like a strongly scented shampoo should quarantine themselves for at least a bit before doing something like getting on a bus.
Overall I agree but I’ve been much too close to some people who haven’t bathed in a while and that is an unpleasant smell.

My hair dye smells like candy and I love it 💜
I love the smell of wood burning/camp fire smell. There’s something I find comforting about it. I’ve yet to find a candle that exactly replicates the smell, but if I ever do, I’m buying 50.
Theres a tea called lapsang souchong. Its a smoked black tea.
I tell people its campfire tea. God damn it smells good. Better than any candle ever will be.
Edit: if you don’t really want to drink it you could also just use it as potpourri with it and get that wonderful campfire smell
Seconded. It’s like drinking a smoky campfire. It’s definitely not for everyone, or can be overwhelming. I like it occasionally. Nobody else in my house can stand it.
Theres a russian caravan which iirc is half and half assam and lapsang souchong which might be more palatable to people, but ill go full campfire for myself, everytime
I hated tea (well, didn’t really hate. Just didn’t see the point) until I had Smokey Earl Grey at my friend’s house which I immediately called Bacon Tea. The sweet from the Earl Grey plus the smokey from the Lapsang Souchong really reminded me of a good thick cut piece of bacon dipped in maple syrup.
Then they recommended straight up Lapsang Souchong if I liked the smokey tea. I haven’t drank anything else since. That was like 8 years ago.
A number of loose leaf tea places ive been to have a cream of earl grey tea i like. Ill have to mix them, that sounds delicious!
I actually can’t stand tea, like TEA tea, but I do like herbal teas. I like the idea of using the lapsang souchong as potpourri, though! I’ll try that.
Now you have me thinking “can you water plants with tea? What plants would benefit from the tea?” Would the aroma also maybe help keep bugs away? Or would it attract more bugs"
I think you and i just developed a new organic pesticide! And who says hate isnt constuctive! Lol
I generally feel like my sense of smell is quite bad. There’s not really a lot of smells that I hate abnormally, probably due to the reduced sense of smell. I do like gasoline smell just like you, but honestly I thought that that was normal.
I love the smell of diesel exhaust. Not from cars but from big construction machines.
The smell of the freshly mown lawn. It smells so bad and I’m allergic so I guess this explains why I dislike how it smells.
Geraniums
Brush up against one and you’re assaulted - it’s like skunk spray in the plant kingdom.
Same for the gasoline. It’s not as uncommon to like it as you might think
I love the smell of mothballs
Hahahahahahahaha
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.
I’ll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline,
That is not nearly unpopular.
For me, pure Isopropyl alcohol (as in not part of some product). 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…” 🎶
