Smells that others like but You hate.

Bananas. The smell makes me ill. I often have to leave the room if someone’s eating a banana.

Play-Doh and Whiskey.

That’s a hell of a playschool you’re running.

Cut grass
Potpourri
Intermingled potpourri, candle, etc. scents (like in a gift shop or something)

Vinegar. The smell makes me so ill I have to leave the room.

On the other hand, I kinda like the smells of skunk and fresh paint—so please use either of THOSE on your salad if you visit me.

Another vote for coffee. I can’t drink the stuff and the smell just makes me gag.

Hazelnut coffee. I don’t drink coffee at all, but I like how regular coffee smells. Hazelnut on the other hand…

Apple spice air freshener. It doesn’t matter what company makes it, but if I smell it my stomach turns. I know it’s supposed to be a “festive” holiday smell but all it brings to mind personally is dry heaves.

Oh, Greeny, I agree. All those nasty things people use to make themselves smell “better” drive my nose crazy.

I was in this New Age Shop once, adn all the dreadful smells actually started closing up my lungs. I had coughing fits and everything. And I’m not asthmatic. (sp?)

F’neh!

Any flavored coffee. Used to like it, now it makes me gag. What happened??! :confused:

Also microwaved popcorn. Not the smell in the bag (mmmm, popcorn!) but the leftover pungent stink in the room that permeates every pore. Evil stuff! :mad:

I LOVE YOU. I cannot stand the smell of roses, and thought I wa the only one. Who decided that overpowering sickly sweet smell was good?

Any cooking meat. UGH! Burning flesh.

Coffee, popcorn, meat, perfume, cologne, fish.

I hate the smell of wood smoke. HATE it. In winter, when everyone is using their fireplaces, if I’m walking and the wind is blowing the wood smoke smell at me, it almost makes me retch. I also hate the smell of toast.

cigerettes, cigars and dope

don’t mind cloves

Worst. Stench. Ever!

Coffee. I mean, yuck. Smells like boiled sweatsocks to me, no matter the brand.

The worst, though, is celery. I swear, I can’t understand why people eat the stuff- for me, it’s the culinary equivalent of someone running their fingernails down a blackboard. I literally get that spine shiver every time I smell it.

Vanilla scented air fresheners, especially the Little Trees brand. I rode in a vanpool and the driver insisted on a new one every other week. PU.

Sauerkraut. Sickening to me. Double PU.

Well, we’re half and half here. The smell of cooking meat is one of my favorites (particularly frying pork or grilling beef).

I remembered what the other one I was trying to recall when I was smacked in the nose with it last night: Rain! I loathe the smell that you get right when it starts raining and right after it finishes. It smells like damp dirt and makes me want to gag.

Yep, me too. my husband fixes it in the microwave every morning and the smell is ingrained into the interior of the microwave. I can’t find anything to remove it.

Eau de Greatful Dead (aka that horrible health food store smell): patchouli, pot, incense, B.O., wet dog and unwashed clothing

Fake vanilla

Berries, real, fresh or fake

Air fresheners and scented candels

Nato, my father loves the stuff

Anything beachy or tropical

Food based perfume, lipstick or other cosmetic itmes

Coconut. I can’t stand the flavor either. We were passing booze bottles around the fire while camping, and I took a big swallow of Malibu without realizing it. Almost tossed my cookies.
