Epoxy resin. Dunno why, reminds me of childhood even though I've used it many times since, and there are obviously many smells I smelled first in childhood.

Also creosote and oil generally.

I read somewhere recently that before antibiotics people used to go out and inhale the fumes of hot tar when a street mending gang was around, to cure chest infections. There may be something in it.

DiMethylenSuplhurOxide ?
It makes beer smell like Eggs . DMS is present in many beers and Lagers at very low thresholds. DMSO is the precursor and is denatured by heat , so extended boil times and warmer fermentations tend to drive it off.

I like the smell of wetsuits , new trainers/shoes, synthetic oil and hot brakes at motorsport events,

Petrol, burning brake pads. Not really a 'bad' smell as such I guess.

But crack

YOYO with that one.

I don't think anything has ever quite done it for me the way Castrol R used to. Especially in a forest at night.

But that's not a bad smell is it.

Hydrogen Sulphide (bad egg smell) is in crude oil. Many years ago I spent some time in Saudi designing firewater run off systems for oil pumping stations and GOSPs (gas oil separation plants) where the gas is extracted from the oil. It has to be separated as apart from being smelly it is highly explosive. I became strangely attracted to the smell.

Certain plastic products like kiddies' play tents, Wendy houses sort of thing
Old fashioned hardware shops
Garlic breath on attractive ladies- it's kind of exotic?
Or am I weird?

The house when you come back from two weeks holiday.
That pile of sweat soaked mud encrusted cycling kit that's been sitting on the laundry floor since yesterday.
The ash in the bottom of the BBQ the next morning.

I don't know if you're trying to be edgy, but how is that ever a bad smell? I don't partake myself, but the smell is quite sweet.

Spraymount and freshly printed ink

Castrol R is my absolute favourite smell in the world. Instantly takes me back to being stood in the pits at Oulton Park with my dad as a kid.

2 stroke fumes mixed with burnt out clutches, pine needles, Welsh bogs and dead sheep.
1000 sweaty ravers, Vicks vapour rub and weed.
These days it's just the smell of new tyres and my own shit after a mega curry...
