I dislike the smell of Fenugreek in people.

In food, it's fine. But if you cook with it, it lingers on your clothes. And that bothers me.

I love the smell of dittos, it's unlikely I'll ever smell that again. I also love the smell of garages.

I hate the smell of food after I've finished a meal. Every weekend I make protein blueberry pancakes. The house smells delicious until I'm done eating, and then it feels cloying.

I reaaallly hate the smell of other people, except my husband. I feel like I have an extra strong sense of smell, and I really hate the scalp smell some people have, especially during a humid summer. Nauseating! And forget about it if I can smell your feet through your shoes, I will definitely make some excuse and leave. And body odor, especially from people who don't use deodorant or shower every day. I know that's a personal choice and I should be tolerant but it's so overpowering, I really hate it.

Now that I think about it, I guess these aren't too uncommon after all.

I like the smell of ammonia. I use ammonia based cleaners almost exclusively. Bleach smells like nothing to me, like if TV static was a smell.

I dislike strong perfumes, and I hated doing laundry for a long time and would put it off as long as I could before my grandma introduced me to scentless detergent. I don't use scented dryer sheets either. I shouldn't be able to smell my clothes after a wash. It's gag-inducing.

I've never liked oil diffusers of any kind. I feel like my throat is closing up

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.

Oddly sweaty people, not like a sour unwashed sweat, but a showered person just lightly sweating on a warm day is weirdly endearing.

Love the smell of petrichor, the smell of the world after a good rain, especially if the temperatures are cool and crisp. Bonus if it’s deep in the temperate rainforests of the Canadian PNW, with no civilization near.

Love the smell of fresh-cut grass, reminds me of my youth even if it’s one of the only things that makes me sneeze uncontrollably (my only known allergy).

Marigolds bring me all the way back to childhood, as my mother had them planted around the entire house. I take one whiff, and for the briefest of moments I am a five year old without a care in the world. To this day I collect and re-sow their seeds everywhere I can. I particularly like the small ones with the dark orange and deep crimson flowers.

Hate the smell of tar with every fibre of my being. I could never be a roofer or a road worker or a street resurfacer for that reason. It makes me gag uncontrollably with even the faintest whiff.

I love the smell of diesel exhaust. Not from cars but from big construction machines.

I hate the smell of freshly sliced bell peppers. I can’t really explain it. It just smells so wrong for a vegetable.

I like the smells of tiger balm, kimchi, and fish sauce.

I think this is an outlier because I've been asked to never bring that stuff in the office anymore.

Durian

Love Durian.

Hate white mushrooms (champignons)

I can't stand the smell of garlic to the point of retching if I do. Just the thought of it makes me unwell. It's a long story, why I'm like this xD

Love the smell of n-hexane and pet ether (worked in a chemistry lab). Though don't like the smell of gasoline. I kind of also like the smell of chlorinated water. Also chloroform, though not as much as n-hexane.
