Do you have any smell you like/dislike even though most people don't? (sh.itjust.works)

I'll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.

Cooking oil.

I love me some fried food; I get nauseated smelling the oil itself while things are cooking though. It's worse depending on the oil or fats used. Straight butter and eggs frying in a pan is the worst.

I do janitorial work at McDonald's in the mornings and I always wait until after the switch to lunch to really clean the kitchen because the smell of the eggs being fried makes me wanna puke.

I can relate with the butter.

I love butter. Cook with it all the time. It's amazingly delicious. But the smell when melting it makes me want to throw up and I don't get why.

Same with Italian hard cheesea. Parmegiano and Peccorino Romano smell like ass but raste really good in my carbonara. Anyone can relate?
