I love the smell of cigarettes. Not cigarette smoke, but the smell of unlit cigarettes in the pack.
I utterly loathe the smell of coffee.
When we were buying our first house, some bloody Channel 4 programme had not long previously recommended having freshly brewed coffee in the house when doing a showing.
At one point, I was trying to persuade my wife to go for an unpleasant, overpriced little place just because it stank of wet Alsatians, which made it smell better to me than all the bloody places we'd seen reeking of coffee!

Walking past the body shop, makes me feel sick
Any sickly perfumes, home scents, candles the lot.
My disgusting local fish and chip shop, can smell the foul greasy s
t from hundreds of yards away.The absolute worst, (even worse than the s
t stack) is someone who has just had a cigarette, and blown out the last drag a millisecond before entering the room you are in. Once had some salesman come to my house and had to ask him to leave as it was disgusting smelling the smoke on his breath and clothes, tab end was on my lawn too. wker.Love

The smell of the grease you get when people don't clean out old frying pans, makes my wrench.
The smell of Stella Artois, only larger that ever made me sick. I think it brings back bad memory's.
Candles when they have just been put out. Wife loves them. I hate them with a passion.

Chicken soup;
Was fed it once when recovering from food poisoning in hospital (kidneys nearly gave up) and ever since can't smell it without feeling like I'm going to wretch.
Another one for liking 2-stroke, from watching the support races of BSB back when I did the bike thing. Never owner a 2 stroke anything.

Bananas. Can't stand the smell. Makes me gag.
Years ago my little brother was sat on the sofa between my parents having just eaten a banana. I was sat on the floor in front of the sofa eating fish and chips. Brother threw up all over my fish and chips. Horrible chewed up banana. The smell was horrible.
I hadn't noticed he had thrown up over my food and carried on eating. My parents had noticed but didn't think to tell me. I ate some.
Ever since then the smell makes me gag.
Worst time was baby sitting my exes daughter after my exes step dad died. She was with her mum and I said I'd look after her daughter to help. Her daughter had a banana for a snack and then whilst sat on the sofa watching TV together she throws up. Goes all over me. She starts crying (she was 2), doesn't want me to let her go. Just wants to cuddle. It's all down my top and jeans. All I wanted to do was jump in the shower.
Can still remember the feeling of just sitting there wanting to cry myself ha.
