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.

Theres a tea called lapsang souchong. Its a smoked black tea.

I tell people its campfire tea. God damn it smells good. Better than any candle ever will be.

Edit: if you don't really want to drink it you could also just use it as potpourri with it and get that wonderful campfire smell

Seconded. It’s like drinking a smoky campfire. It’s definitely not for everyone, or can be overwhelming. I like it occasionally. Nobody else in my house can stand it.

Theres a russian caravan which iirc is half and half assam and lapsang souchong which might be more palatable to people, but ill go full campfire for myself, everytime

I hated tea (well, didn't really hate. Just didn't see the point) until I had Smokey Earl Grey at my friend's house which I immediately called Bacon Tea. The sweet from the Earl Grey plus the smokey from the Lapsang Souchong really reminded me of a good thick cut piece of bacon dipped in maple syrup.

Then they recommended straight up Lapsang Souchong if I liked the smokey tea. I haven't drank anything else since. That was like 8 years ago.

A number of loose leaf tea places ive been to have a cream of earl grey tea i like. Ill have to mix them, that sounds delicious!

I actually can't stand tea, like TEA tea, but I do like herbal teas. I like the idea of using the lapsang souchong as potpourri, though! I'll try that.

Now you have me thinking "can you water plants with tea? What plants would benefit from the tea?" Would the aroma also maybe help keep bugs away? Or would it attract more bugs"

I think you and i just developed a new organic pesticide! And who says hate isnt constuctive! Lol
