Do you have any smell you like/dislike even though most people don't? (sh.itjust.works)

I'll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.

Cologne or perfume on a human. Stop. It's not nice, I don't want to smell you.

But we all have a scent, would you prefer natural smell to perfume?

Not OP, but often, yes.

Also not OP, but without a doubt yes every time. I've don't think I've ever noticed the natural smell of a human being other than myself as a negative smell. OTOH, someone who is fresh out of the shower and used something like a strongly scented shampoo should quarantine themselves for at least a bit before doing something like getting on a bus.

Overall I agree but I’ve been much too close to some people who haven’t bathed in a while and that is an unpleasant smell.

If it's something you have to be intimately close to smell it's nice, if you sit down at the table next to me and I can smell it that's rough
