When my chest freezer broke down I emptied it out, closed the lid, but didnt clean it. When I opended it a couple of days later the smell was absoloutly vile.

An old fridge at work was switched off and left in the office for a few days prior to it being disposed of. Some poke nose just had to open it didn't they....It stunk out the entire room!

I hate all 'decorative' smells. I would genuinely prefer my beloved to stink of st than put any perfume on.

One I really like is when it's been raining on hot tarmac. No idea how to describe it, but I love it. The smell of summer and holidays.

Have a couple of friends who own dogs. Like most dog owners they are oblivious to the fact that their homes smell awful. Completely noseblind as they say. If you must own a dog, for god's sake keep it outside in a kennel!

I like the smell if a shotgun breach after the first shots of the day.

Don't like the smell of my black bin where the cans and bottles go, sometimes puts me off drinking the bit in the bottom.

I though fox crap smelt bad, until my dog discovered a decomposing fox. i found him in the woods enthusiastically rolling in rotting fox, really grinding his shoulders and back into it, he was loving it, if there is a doggy bliss this was it, like all his christmas's had come at once.
