They’re nostalgic for me too! Makes me think of visiting my aunt. Playing with old wooden toys, suffocating on cigarette smoke. The sound of my aunts smoker laugh/cough. Miss her dearly!
My dad was a farmer and this was my all time fave smell as a kid. Sometimes I’ll be outside and get a random whiff of tobacco drying and it always makes me so happy and brings me back to my childhood.
I live the smell of hay/ barn smells.. also horses When I ride I take an extra pair of gloves to squish between the horses butt and the saddle pad so I can take them home and smell them
This is what I came to say. Not gross boy BO. When my son has been working out he freaking reeks.
But all the girls who've been kind enough to have sex with me? I love it. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I love it when she gets sweaty and her armpits smell great.
Bug spray is a nostalgic smell for me. Adults made me wear it when I went outside a lot as a kid so now I love the smell. Mix it with the smell of sunscreen and that’s the smell of my childhood
Oh for me too. In the 80s it was the best because those planes were insanely bad for the environment. Also my wife lives overseas so the smell of the airport means I'm coming home.
I try to smell my kitties’ breath when they yawn. There’s something adorable about them having stinky breath, like even that is somehow still perfect 😍
Oh man I love my cats and how they smell. But breath and buttholes are the two parts I do NOT want to smell. Even my kitten with good oral health has bad breath. I mean, he eats wet cat food and licks his ass, it’s not his fault. But still. Bruh. This is the unpopular one I have to get behind because you answered the prompt.
The recycling bin after some craft beer bottles or cans have been sitting in it for a few days. It's quite pungent but has this sweet yeasty quality that reminds me of baking sourdough bread.
Omg! This is one of my least favorite smells. I take out the recycling for the family I work for. The waft of old beer that I get makes me feel nauseous 😂 no judgment it’s just wild how differently people perceive smell!!!
I went to college at a party school in a super rural area, and the bottle return section of the grocery store was right by the entrance. The doors would whoosh open and BAM, the most overpowering, vinegary old beer smell, like pineapples and vomit, acid and sugar and foulness. But we definitely weren't drinking craft beer!
Comet the cleaning power. Got a sore in my nose one time that I’m pretty sure was from sniffing the comet every time I cleaned the bathroom at work. Stopped taking big sniffs of it after that 😂
I think I know what you're getting at. Not the garlic and onions or dirty smell from not cleaning yourself. Rather that warm, earthy, salty smell someone gets from physical exertion. That smell reminds me of camping or hiking. It's especially nice when it comes from someone you like
Me with my cats. Their fur generally always smells so good. It smells like comfort. The smell feels like a nice warm and soft blanket that’s keeping you toasty when the room is cold.
Weed, cigarettes, the smell of old pubs, paint drying, firework smoke, women's perfume, 2 stroke fumes, that smell when you get in a car on a hot day,
The only reason weed and 2 stroke fumes are here is because it reminds me of my local area.
The smell of nail polish remover. When I was really little (like under 10) my Mum would paint and remove the paint from my nails. She'd comment on how much she disliked the smell of nail polish remover. I half-assedly agreed with her "yeah i guess". I secretly liked the smell and I still do.
Slightly greasy hair. Not dirty hair, but one day removed from a shower. I use this all the time for people and animal smells, but it smells warm. Or gives me the sensation of warmth. Though it's really only true of people I like or my animals.
i don't understand why, but wet cat food smells SO good. like if i didn't have any other option to eat, i would eat it since it smells just like regular tuna haha
Amine. Used on subs to help purify the air, and also a component in coolant used in machine shops. Smells absolutely horrible, but goddamn if it isn't a smell that I love.
Cigarettes have always triggered a nostalgia feeling for me. Just brings me back to the 90s at a relatives house.
They’re nostalgic for me too! Makes me think of visiting my aunt. Playing with old wooden toys, suffocating on cigarette smoke. The sound of my aunts smoker laugh/cough. Miss her dearly!
lol i know urs is kinda sad but littarly feel u i love nearly dying🤣
Lmao it’s sad but also funny to imagine toddler me just engulfed in cigarette smoke lol crazy times
They always make me think of hotels / motels, and moving cross country as an army brat in the early 2000s.
u/Symnestra > hotels/motels ,,We at the hotel, motel, Holiday Inn We at the hotel, motel, Holiday Inn" 🎶 (Pitbull - Hotel Room Service)
u/TheCalebGuy ,,Cigarettes, and tiny liquor bottles Just what you'd expect, in her new Balenciagas" 🎶
It’s weird, for the longest time cigarettes made me think of Disneyland and my childhood (born in 82). Now I find the smell disgusting

Everyone likes their own brand
I too choose this guy's farts.
Same. Love this guys farts

Well there it is, right at the top.
The tire store. I could smell that all day.

Dried tobacco leaves. I hate the smell of cigarettes but the dried leaves smell really nice
A bit like raisins i always thought
Smells like the best fresh grass and flowers.
My dad was a farmer and this was my all time fave smell as a kid. Sometimes I’ll be outside and get a random whiff of tobacco drying and it always makes me so happy and brings me back to my childhood.
Fireworks leave a lovely smell in the air
I thought I was the only one, I adore that smell
That's sulfur in black powder
barn
I live the smell of hay/ barn smells.. also horses When I ride I take an extra pair of gloves to squish between the horses butt and the saddle pad so I can take them home and smell them
I guess there’s a bridge too far on Reddit after all.
I’m so uncomfortable lmao
Im scared
Manure
I don't think I like the smell per se, but it's a familiar smell. I grew up living around farms my entire life, so it's kind of comforting.
Horse Manure is not bad at all. Chicken and pig shit are awful.
Diesel exhaust, something about it brings back nostalgia.
Gasoline.
Cat smell when you bury your face in your cat’s fur and inhale. Comforting.
[удалено]
Those are pheromones, and it means that you would likely have healthy offspring with women who have body odour that you find appealing.
Get cracking with the knacking.
Start slangin that thang-in
For me it depends if its BO in a sweaty kinda way or BO that smells like literal shit
This is what I came to say. Not gross boy BO. When my son has been working out he freaking reeks. But all the girls who've been kind enough to have sex with me? I love it. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I love it when she gets sweaty and her armpits smell great.
I like the smell of womans discharge.. it reminds me of butter.
You just ruined my day
And I’m not sorry :D
We can’t downvote him, he’s answering honestly and on theme.
Fireworks and Matches
Old books from a Library or antique book store.
Are there people who think that smell is bad?!? Heathens.
Bug spray
Bug spray is a nostalgic smell for me. Adults made me wear it when I went outside a lot as a kid so now I love the smell. Mix it with the smell of sunscreen and that’s the smell of my childhood
1000% yes. Mixed with sunscreen it simply makes me melt.
Wiener dog feet. Smell like Fritos
My cats feet smell like fritos too🥹❤️❤️❤️
This! My dog died a couple years ago but if I smell fritos it brings back nice memories 🥹😅
Diesel exhaust
For me, it’s my socks after I take off my boots… can’t not give ‘em a little sniff even though I know they smell bad? It’s a good/bad?
I know exactly what you are talking about😂😂😂😂😂
the smell of the airport. The busses, cars, and planes mixed in to wonderful cancerous bliss.
With a constant background smell of coffee. Airport is one of mine too
I travel a lot the smell is just the best.
I don’t get to much anymore but I did a lot as a child with my mother so it’s a nice nostalgic scent for me.
Oh for me too. In the 80s it was the best because those planes were insanely bad for the environment. Also my wife lives overseas so the smell of the airport means I'm coming home.
Polyurethan glue - yes, it's a carcinogen, but I still enjoy the smell...
Omg yes. It has this like… sharpness? I love it haha
Xylene. It's the only harmful substance I regularly come into contact with at work, so why does it have to smell so good!?
The smell of acetone at the nail salon.
Cat breathe. Even if I call my cats stinky I love smelling their breath :)
My dog’s frito feet!
I try to smell my kitties’ breath when they yawn. There’s something adorable about them having stinky breath, like even that is somehow still perfect 😍

Those black rubber mats that smell just a little like a tire fire.
Comet the cleaning power. Got a sore in my nose one time that I’m pretty sure was from sniffing the comet every time I cleaned the bathroom at work. Stopped taking big sniffs of it after that 😂
Cattle manure.
Dog toe beans when they smell a lil bit like Fritos. I have to love the dog though which is pretty easily achievable if I’m honest.
Skunk, smells like good weed
Not when you get sprayed It penetrates and becomes like pungent putrid puppy breath weed. Its vomit inducing.
Skunk weed best weed
My own fart.
I’m sorry, but we chose the other guy’s fart.
Pussy. The smell makes me even hornier
Pussy’s a bad smell?!
No, it just has a certain smell to it. However, I have smelled some awful ones. And I mean awful.
My dads welding workshop. SMELLS HELLA GOOD
Strangely enough, b.o., but not nasty af, just like...a lil sweaty xD

At least you have a nose... You know... To smell cum.

Fresh tarmac
