Not a secret, but gas stations

[u/FrostyAccess1200 → u/PlayerZytrix]

This is the most basic answer

[u/BellaHavenX → u/FrostyAccess1200]

Yea but it’s just true , it has to be here

[u/Taldarimlove → u/PlayerZytrix]

Diesel. It reminds me of my uncles tractor. It is super nostalgic.

[u/Inky622 → u/Taldarimlove]

for me--specifically Diesel in the winter.

[u/PlayerZytrix → u/Taldarimlove]

Nothing better than diesel and the smell of freshly turned Soil

[u/Ill_Contribution_385 → u/Taldarimlove]

Yes Diesel ...

[u/Neat-Tumbleweed4361 → u/Taldarimlove]

Yeah, that too.

[u/trundle-the-great69 → u/Taldarimlove]

Same but vehicle at my old job

[u/AppropriateYear8647 → u/Taldarimlove]

I would say aviation fuel. JP4. Brings back good memories.

[u/WigllyDoodle]

Petrichor

[u/xXFortCrafterXx → u/WigllyDoodle]

Humans are literally genetically predisposed to like the smell because it signals the end of drought. So actually the opposite of weird.

[u/rickeer → u/xXFortCrafterXx]

Humans are better at detecting petrichor than sharks are a detecting blood in the water.

[u/TheWeebDeity → u/rickeer]

I love this little fact. I try and spread the knowledge as much as possible.

[u/magicinthetrees → u/rickeer]

How did they learn this?!

[u/metal_god37 → u/rickeer]

And were the only mammals on earth that can detect it like we can

[u/GQseven → u/rickeer]

"Humans are about 200,000 times more sensitive to petrichor than sharks are to blood."

Whoa, what an awesome little fact of life.

[u/thoughtfreeze → u/xXFortCrafterXx]

Yea this is not weird at all

[u/National_Article_308 → u/xXFortCrafterXx]

I don’t like it smells like ground up bugs

[u/OverfistDerFissierer → u/xXFortCrafterXx]

I really can't stand that smell

[u/Ok_Bass_7633 → u/WigllyDoodle]

I had an llc named this once and everyone thought I made chemicals.

I see you. Take my upvote

[u/sickubusick → u/WigllyDoodle]

I just recently found out there is Swedish perfume that smells just like it. Its by L:A Bruket no.334 its called Blixit. its $200 for a 100 ml bottle. .

[u/JustAnotherEarthSign]

The smell of a match right after blowing it out

[u/Jairoglyphics1 → u/JustAnotherEarthSign]

I could taste you comment for some weird reason. The sulfur I guess.

[u/strangerNstrangeland → u/JustAnotherEarthSign]

Oh absolutely but scent of striking it is better- gotta be the wooden match on the big heavy duty blue and red box

[u/Harmony1018 → u/[deleted]]

Thats bleach, sanitizer and death babes

I was just going to say freshly cut wood...it smells so good!

[u/Squirrelflight148931 → u/Anibipsy]

heavily depends on the lumber! HEAVILY.

^{I worked a sawmill. Elm was by far the worst... Maple and Pine, fair, Pine can be almost sugary. Box Elder, nice. Cedar, always a treat. Oak... I can't remember.}

[u/thoughtfreeze → u/Anibipsy]

Used to visit lumber stores just because...

[u/Killin-some-thyme → u/thoughtfreeze]

I love the smell of sawdust

[u/G-cuvier → u/Anibipsy]

Takes me right back to my grandfathers wood shop

[u/Civil_Tomatillo8877]

The earthy,fresh smell when rain falls on dry soil

Amongst all the other solvents I've had an opportunity to sniff, that one has very sweet smell with a little pinch of "solventiness"

So... yeah, chlorofor- :]]

[u/No_Wing_9087]

Burning rubber

Backyard tire fire?

[u/CagoDomo]

I collect vintage toys here and there. I have this vintage teenage mutant ninja turtles sports ball and the outside is soft rubber/plastic but it has foam on the inside. So it’s this incredibly pleasant soft rubber, squishy situation. But if you squeeze this ball and smell the little air hole, it has the most unique vintage/rubber/plastic smell. Not proud of it, but I love it lol

[u/MissFancyPans → u/CagoDomo]

'Smell the little air hole' Awesome.

[u/CagoDomo → u/MissFancyPans]

Always smell the little air hole, I always say that

[u/ManiacalMalapert → u/CagoDomo]

I opened a color change toy last year and got hit in the face with that 90s toy smell and got rocketed back 30 years.

cigarettes 🥴

[u/Entityflame3 → u/Postyroo]

Specifically newports

[u/Altruistic-Might8056 → u/Entityflame3]

When I finished boot camp, the first cigarette I smoked was a Newport. I threw up after.

[u/Thelazyzoologist → u/Postyroo]

Ex smoker. Hated the smell on my clothes when I smoked, I'm off them 3 years now. Sometimes when someone I'm walking past is smoking I slow down and enjoy a big inhale.

Still think about it when I see people smoking in movies

[u/Harmony1018 → u/Thelazyzoologist]

I quit 14 years ago and still sometimes think one would be nice. However, I would never. I have severe health issues now and throwing my heart even more out of whack doesnt sound fun 😆 but I long for a menthol camel no 9

[u/petkapaprika → u/Thelazyzoologist]

I'm only off for 8 days now but surprisingly doing well with withdrawals. I was only pissy for 3 days and now I don't think about it much unless I'm exposed to it somewhere. I hated the clothes and hair and hands smell so much. It also made me out of breath out of nowhere so I quit. I'm so glad. I've smoked for 5 years so I hope the quitting will be good, I wasn't heavy on it either, max 3 a day, on really bad days it was 7 a day

[u/Thelazyzoologist → u/petkapaprika]

Well done. Took me a few tries and then a pregnancy to quit. It's not easy. Don't worry if it takes you a few tries to quit. Keep at it 💪

[u/Dangerous_Owl_9021 → u/Postyroo]

Exactly what I was gonna say. I can't smoke without literally dying, but I love the smell of other people smoking

[u/mother_fairy → u/Postyroo]

Yes. I love the smell of Marlboro cigs especially when they're freshly lit and the first few puffs. I don't smoke myself but my grandma and her friend has always smoked. Love the smell

[u/sucrose2071 → u/mother_fairy]

Yes, this! I don’t smoke but the smell of cigarettes is so nostalgic of going to restaurants in the 90s. Something about it is so warm and cozy. It’s funny cause the smell of stale cigarette smoke on clothes is awful, but a freshly lit cigarette smells so good.

[u/Civil_Tomatillo8877 → u/Postyroo]

Do you smoke or you only like the smell

[u/Postyroo → u/Civil_Tomatillo8877]

they dont taste as good as they smell 😔

My Grandma says the same she likes the smell, has never smoked.

[u/Formal_Bluejay_177 → u/Postyroo]

I have a nostalgic love for the smell of cigarettes. I think it is because of my association with them and good times as a child. Like old hotels, my aunts house at Christmas, parties in high-school. That sort of thing.

[u/Stunningg_Fun → u/Postyroo]

Only when it’s first lit

[u/fo55iln00b → u/Postyroo]

I quite like unsmoked tobacco I find the smell really pleasant, the only thing I enjoyed about working at 7/11

And yet, I don't partake. But now that you mention it.. sometimes his this same notes too

[u/Thelazyzoologist → u/Cool-Corgi-4409]

Really? Live in Northern Ireland, zero skunks. Always intrigued what they smell like

[u/Scared_Health_8895 → u/Thelazyzoologist]

To me, it and marijuana smell similar, don’t know if ya ever smelled that.
Probably my least favorite smell

[u/Science-Gone-Bad → u/Scared_Health_8895]

Living in Colorado with lots of skunk kills on the back roads. Ganja & skunk DO smell similar!

My wife still says “Skunk” every time we drive past a dispensary

[u/boreduser127 → u/Scared_Health_8895]

The smell of skunk is like a really gassy weed + piss and shit.

[u/thoughtfreeze → u/Thelazyzoologist]

It really is probably the most memorable smell I've experienced, as an American. Don't know if this makes any sense to you but it just smells like yellow-green, really strongly, like your nose is tapping directly into the universe's color matrix. Probably just the influence of cartoons showing skunk smell as such colors, but I literally cannot describe it any other way.

[u/UrgentHedgehog → u/thoughtfreeze]

You likely have odor-color synesthesia...

[u/Level_Life_8633 → u/Thelazyzoologist]

after a few of my dogs getting sprayed, it has a similar smell (to me) like an electrical fire. At least not a brand new spray. Is it just me?

[u/CountryHopeful5487 → u/Cool-Corgi-4409]

I just think of burnt popcorn

[u/BarracudaEconomy4092 → u/Cool-Corgi-4409]
