Lighter fluid -- when I was pregnant with my second child I really had to fight the urge to smell lighter fluid. There was a guy in our office who had a lighter and occasionally I would ask him if I could have a little sniff. I am by no means a glue head but sometimes the need would be overwhelming.

I like gas and chalk, too.

Dirt...or I should say freshly turned earth when I'm gardening.

Gasoline (I worked in a gas station years ago), pine oil cleaner (Pine Sol), dirt.

I love the smell of paint. Also of turpentine, and slightly aged canvas. Scents I link with passion and light and childhood.

Murphy's oil soap. Fresh earth. Hmm... I just love the smell of my own armpits. *smells armpits* that's me alright.

I don't *like* to smell any of these. I do sometimes like the smell of dirt, like when I'm gardening, but it's not like I go dirt-sniffing frequently.

Dirt smells earthy and natural and pure.
Some household cleaners smell good- like lemon or orange.

None of the above. I don't dislike all of these smells, but I certainly don't like any of them either.

Of those listed I only like petrol (gasoline). I actually like the exhaust smell to, but only from LRP (lead replacement petrol) not unleaded because it smells sickly. Maybe it's all the carcinogens in unleaded. I remember when I went hiking in the New Zealand mountains. The only thing I craved for the two weeks was the smell of car exhaust. What a city boy! I also LOVE the smell of metho (methylated spirits) and used to clean floors with it. I HATE the smell of kero (kerosine). It makes me want to spew.

The best smell in the world is freshly cut grass,followed by bread just taken from the oven and the rain on metal gates.

I don't like to sit around and smell them but I do like the smell of some odd things. From the list: Gas, nail polish remover, paint. Not on the list: Marker, moth balls, lighter fluid... I know there's more I just cant think of them at the moment

I wouldn't include any of those things on a list of "things I like to smell". Most of them are nasty. Insect spray, fertilizer and oil-based paint are particularly gross. Gasoline and latex paint are okay, I would rate them "mildly appealing".

I would have to include myself among those who can't take the cap off a white-board marker without waving it briefly under my nose!  * smile *

I like to use cleaners that have a citrus sent, and some times the smell of dirt arouses pleasant thoughts....gardening in the yard, potting house plants...that type of thing.

I love those old Black Magic Markers........ Those were cool......... (These days, they don't smell the same)...... I also love the smell of Vick's Vaporub and the Vick's Inhaler......

Good ol' nail polish remover. Though, I don't suspect it's a particularly good idea from a neurological health perspective.

Well, taking into consideration that I have sinus problems and smelling anything is pretty much a small miracle, I'd say I wouldn't mind smelling all of the above.
I'd love to be able to taste the full flavor of ice cream again.
