Bad smells you like

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.

Cow poo, we used to live next to a slurry pit so it’s a familiar childhood smell, love it

Hot tarmac

My own farts

Dead rat. Its a smell that shows that I’m doing my job properly.

Petrol , fresh cow shit, crack, toe jam

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.

fresh cow shit

You need help.

But crack is ok?

Real creosote and new flip flops (I’m not sure they’re bad smells though).

But crack is ok?

Obviously fine if your’e a Crack Rat.

Domestos, GT85, speedway bike fuel.

Fanny farts

You also need help.

The sickly sweet smell of fresh opium.

DMSO

Silicon sealant.

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,

diesel exhaust from 1980s lorries and buses (I got in trouble for saying that was my favourite smell in primary school)

jet exhaust

two stroke exhaust

weed

hot old engine oil

creosote

soldering (flux smoke)

hot old circuit boards

solvents

garden centres

my balls

my own BO

I think I need help

exhaust fumes from a 2 stroke engine.

soldering (flux smoke)

Oh yeah I love that too.

rape seed fields or flowers. smell like dry pissed blankets. ace.

Silage

Overheating clutch.

cowshit (at a distance !) on a frosty morning
roofing tar / tarmac
ether (most other solvents too, but ether – Yum !)
castrol R (as above with speedway bikes, I assume)

The smell of tarmac on a really hot day.
Petrol
Cigarette smoke (I don’t smoke)

Sugar puff wee

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

But crack

YOYO with that one.

Napalm

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.

dogs paws….lovely!!!

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?

Napalm

… but, what does it smell of?

Smell of hot food from a take away curry
Diesel fumes from a passing lorry

And the chip shop up on Bowling Lane

Wet golden retreivers

WD40

Decent ganja

+1 for silage and def +1 for getting New Model Army in…

🙂
Didn’t think anyone would get the Smalltown England reference , well done sir!

Air out of an inner tube. Ashtrays. Belly button smell.

Hot over-worked drill driver motor. My drill never works harder than when we’re taking down and packing up and going home.
