Odd smells you like...
The Tabac smell debates got me thinking about "odd" smells. What are some of the "odd" smells you like? Smells that most others would consider to be less than pleasurable.
Here are a few of mine:
I've always genuinely enjoyed the smell of fresh skunk spray. Granted, I've never been sprayed directly, but road kill skunk has a sour, well, skunky smell I like. I actually find it odd that others I've talked to, my wife included find it offensive.
While Limburger cheese just smells like rotten farts to me, Stilton smells great.
Kim Chi. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
That's all I can think of for now.

Agreed. That's a good smell too. Growing up I spent many a time sniffing freshly spent shells and cartridges.

The smell of Hoppe's # 9 after a long day at the shooting range.

I like real person smell. I'm not talking "homeless guy that just rolled out of a dumpster" but a little perspiration is nice. I prefer a person's normal musk over a dousing of perfume and/or scented soaps/shampoos.

Thanked: 2+1 to Hoppes #9 -- smells like my grandfather :-)
Also the smell of gasoline, and that funk that wafts up from the subway.
