I too like the smell of a cigarette burning as someone walks by. I used to smoke and the only reason I gave it up was the excessive taxation coupled with the use of the money for things I don’t support. It was one way to lower my taxes, significantly.

I like the smell of a stand of cottonwood trees in bloom. A nearby neighbor had about 10 in their yard and the little neighborhood park they backed up to had a few more. I used to walk to the next bus stop or walk around the block to the park just to enjoy the sickly sweet but funky smell. Would roll windows down driving by while the passengers are rolling them up.

Phosgene. Smells like fresh mowed hay.

Skunk. Loved the smell since I was a kid.

Yep. When I was a kid I worked summers on a garbage truck and it got to where most garbage didn't smell bad. Not good, but not sickening. You got used to it. Another one can be sweat. Not BO, but the smell of pure salty sweat in a sweat soaked t-shirt before you take a shower.

I've never smoked cigarettes but sometimes I like the smell of a single burning cigarette.

Me either but the smell of dad lighting a Pall Mall with a match - the combination of that first ignition - was really good.

Disinfectant like they used to use in doctor's offices before cleaning products were flower scented.

Gasoline from my mower.

Oilfield smell of the Permian Basin, especially in the mornings. You can catch a similar whiff, though not as strong and widespread, driving through Evangeline, Louisiana in the mornings.

Brackish/saltwater marsh grass.

Dead, gutted speckled trout that have just been fileted.

The times when I walk down to the lake and it smells fishy. I love the smell of fish.

Never have been a smoker, but believe it or not someone firing up a dart with a zippo is a smell I like, until the ciggy burn gets obnoxious and stale, then its disgusting. Also like the smell of pipe tobacco though it's been years since I've smelled it, but not a cigar.

Gunpowder, grew up around guns and hunting, hasn't been a consistent part of my life many years, but still love the smell (including fireworks) when re-exposed.

The paper mill.
When the mill opened in DeRidder and the wind would blow from the west you could get a good dose of it. We would complain about it while we were visiting my grandparents. My grandaddy would say, "That's the smell of money".

The fresh light up of a cigarette.

Cigars can smell good.

While I find my wife’s natural scents quite pleasing, farts do not make the list.

This is why I told my wife if I ever find some of that Lume stuff in our house I’m immediately throwing it away.

Two stroke outboard exhaust and creosote. Reminds me of speckled trout fishing with my grandfather. Also, Florida water.
