My close friends loves the smell of skunks! No joke she does. I have a best friend too who loves the smell of gas form the gas station. I think they are both a bit crazy But it made me wonder how man people enjoy smells that others find odd? Do you like weird smells? What kind of smells?

Thank God someone else out there likes the smell of skunk! It's one of my favorite smells. I also love the smell of gasoline, as well as armpits (which really freaks people out, but I really love that smell.) Another one that people think is weird is that I like the smell of gray paint. A friend of mine pointed out to me in high school that it smells better than the other paints, and it really does!

Really grey paint? Hmmm I will have to test that one My cat loves the smell of arm pits too! Every time my husband or myself takes off our shirts she gets in it and rolls around and rubs her head on the arm pits! OMG so funny.

It depends on what you refer to as a weird smell! I personally love the smell of petrol! I think that it would be harmful if I made an effort to sniff those gas fumes though so I don't mind a brief sniff when passing a garage or something! I love the smell of that tipex but that is very bad for you and is known to be quite toxic I think. Well, this is definitely a hard one but I think that petrol has to be at the top of the list for me. Andrew

Yes that could be dangerous in large amounts and often LOL. That is a good one though and seems smell like that are common and maybe not as weird as I thought.

I don't know how bad the smell of the skunk, but i can imagine it must be very bad, from what i saw in the movies :) I do have friends that like the smell of the kerosene, and petrol very much. My friend and I like the smell of the strong glue like U.H.U. (though i know it is not good for health). Personally, i like the smell of rice, we have a tank filled with rice, and i used to put my face in the tank and inhale the smell. I like the smell of detergent powder too, it just smell nice, i felt like i want to stuff it inside my nostril, i know it is stupid! I just feel that way, never do it in my whole life. have a nice day :)

Lol interesting smells to enjoy my friend. Detergent is a bit over powering for me,I usually sneeze while going down the isle at the store. But rice I don't think I have even taken the time to really smell it much. I will have to give it a try and see.

I can see how mud smell would be different in other regions on the world. I don't have much experience with oil paints but I will take your word for it.

hai babyangie, this may sounds weird but, i do love the smells of certain woman..what i mean by smell is their body odor (no perfume, deodorant, fragrance or what so ever) I first noticed this from one of my classmate..the sensation is quite hard to explain, suffice to say it did turn me ON..when I try to share the story with my friends(girl) they always gimme the not-so-interested face, as if the word "GROSS" written on my forehead... is this kind of thing also appeals to women -- men body odor?? :)

I am not sure but for me no. If my husband smells then I am running the other way lol. But I guess we are each different in our own ways. I don't even like the smell of myself without perfume or anything.

I've never smelt a skunk.. Being from Australia I guess there's no hope in ever smelling one.. What do they smell like... I'm interested now.. These smells are meant to repell us as they are No good for us but it is surprising that some find them arousing The start up of the lawn mower has a addictive wierd smell.. I dont go sniffing for fun though I tend to try not to inhale fumes... I dont want to go killing of more brain cells.... Some people find sweet smells wierd too but I guess we're all different..

Its funny, but I too like the smell of gas! Other than that, I can't think of any weird smells that I enjoy.

I don't care for the smell myself but I have heard many people tell me they enjoy the smell. I wonder why?
