What are your favorite and least favorite?
Moi, some that I dislike (excluding the real obvious):
o engine room smells
o oddly -- bakery smells
Some that I like:
o leather stores
o bookstores (esp. those that have the 'scotch tape' smell)
My ALL TIME FAVORITE? The whiff from a wad of mint dollar bills. Love the scent; nothing to do with monetary value.

My accupuncturist says vegans put off a bad odor when they're being treated. I'm guessing bacon eaters put off a really nice aroma.

Call me crazy but I adore the smell of a dead hooker. Up to about a week. After that they smell kinda like rotting cheese.

Dislike: Smells of garbage rotting or a carcass in the water (haven't come up on one in the woods, but have had several in the rivers I paddle)
Likes: Channel # 5 (my cologne), Iris flowers in the spring, smells of the woods after a light rain

Worst smells I've encountered are all dead things. The sperm whale carcass was the nastiest and two long hot showers did not help. When a rat dies in the walls of the house is bad but not even close to the whale
The best smells to me
A sawmill. My dad used to always smell like one.
Coffee is good
and even though I know it is a bad smell I love it for the memories of wonderful summers on my great uncles hog farm

Thanks for reminding me of all the great smells like freshly-mown lawns, which don't quickly come to mind with all the recent snow!
dislikes: watermelon
likes: crayons, dirt

A freshly run over skunk on the highway. Weekdays along my work commute route is a large auto wrecker yard with many ancient hulks that is beside a marshy area of San Francisco Bay. Seems a lot of skunks live there and for a couple miles they are frequent roadkill. Each time I get the first whiff, I quickly jam down on my remote power window buttons.
The public restroom at a shoreline park along Galveston Bay in Texas on a hot humid summer weekend day when it looked like no county park workers had cleaned it for weeks and of course the toilets were all plugged and over the rims.
Walking down along the surf waterline of one of our Pacific beaches smelling the fresh ocean salt air when suddenly one gets a whiff of an utterly disgusting dead seal that is rotting in the hot sun higher up on the sand of a beach. Wohhhhhhh gag me!
-----------------------------
Occasionally I like to visit some of our urban rose gardens and when there am one to stick my nose right up into many cultured rose varieties trying to find those with the best fragrance.
A chocolate shop especially where they are making some of the candy right there.
Fresh out of a hot oven apple pie.
I've experienced wandering about in a long list of massive wildflower fields. All such places have wonderful fragrances but some species are simply better. One of the best fragrances is the combination of dense freshly blooming goldfields, lasthenia californica, mixed with California poppies, eschscholtzia californica. Not only is the fragrance wonderful but the visual at midday is blindingly saturated.

Another one of our most fragrant California desert wildflowers is desertgold, geraea canescens. In the great Death Valley bloom of 2005 roaming for miles into the vast flower fields about Ashford Mills was nauseatingly delicious.

No one (that I know of) likes the smell of grubby money -- esp. the kind that's oily and blackened with very extended use. Not saying that you have to like the smell of new money... just wanting to make sure you knew I was referring to NEW money.
How new do you mean? Maybe we've finally struck on the secret of Ben's success.

Smells? I think my nose was burnt out from growing up on a farm. There isn't much that is truly horrible to me. The new money thing got me thinking, though. There are definitely things I can not stand the feel of! Like new money! Hate touching it! Blech! And cotton balls! But to play along, I like that acidic smell rain gets sometimes. My nephew's feet....not so much.

There's no getting away from it during the holidays, Ben. I work in a bank. I'm sure they would frown on me giving it away...  Happy New Years, by the way! 
Haha... I had no idea you work in a bank! Hope the new year is going well for you too!!
