Me.
I had a partner who smelled weirdly almost indistinguishable from me. Now my own scent reminds me of them.
A long time ago I dated a girl whose natural scent was this subtle heady musk.
Oh, but it was intoxicating. 30 years and I can still remember it.
I like to smell people.
My dog, including her paws
omg me too!! i have a dachshund, hbu
Gasoline
Can’t really put it into cohesive words. But the smell of something like a basement/garage/stairwell, a bit damp/moist. Smells like petrichor
The first time a heater turns on for the year
Tbh the smell gives me a tiny bit of anxiety because I’m always hoping that a fire doesn’t break out lol
Hot dust.
Creosote, not the plant but the stuff they treat wood with. Smells like piers and amusement parks. Love it. Carcinogenic.
Those giant metal permanent markers and yo mom’s feet.
Capguns. So whatever percussion caps were made from throughout the 1990s.
Freshly poured asphalt.
Old books/old libraries
Cigarette smoke drifting on cold air
Magic The Gathering cards, pretty sure it’s some part of the lamination process. Under the house smell, earthy aroma that has stagnated for a few years. Moss covered valleys and crevices, basically where moss is so concentrated that it just jumps into the nose.
Diesel - not sniffing the container, but smelling burnt diesel in the air. Also the slightly putrid smell of a creek after it rains and all the gunk has been moved around and the sun has been blasting it and you can almost chew on the odour, it’s that thick. I rather like that.
Leather oil + dry horse poop
A newly opened package of those survey marker flags you stick in ground. It smells like those old vinyl pool floaties dialed up to 11.
