I’ll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.
Perfumes and air fresheners. They all smell like toxic chemicals to me.
Cologne or perfume on a human. Stop. It’s not nice, I don’t want to smell you.
But we all have a scent, would you prefer natural smell to perfume?
Also not OP, but without a doubt yes every time. I’ve don’t think I’ve ever noticed the natural smell of a human being other than myself as a negative smell. OTOH, someone who is fresh out of the shower and used something like a strongly scented shampoo should quarantine themselves for at least a bit before doing something like getting on a bus.
Not OP, but often, yes.
New car smell, it’s awful. Sort of stale plastic if I were to describe it.
Amplified by long trips on bad roads as kid. Guaranteed to make you feel like vomiting on some sections. Now when I anticipate/pack for a trip I tend to smell that again even though I’m not even in a car.
I’m not a fan of the “new car smell”, for some reason. The “new computer smell”, on the other hand, is a rare treat.
I think the only reason that some people say they like it is because of the association with, you know, a new car.
When I was a kid, my grandparents got a new car. I got sick in it all the time because of it. I hate that smell to this day - but at least I don’t get sick anymore.
I’ve always found the new car smell to be very unpleasant, which makes sense since I’m pretty sure it’s just a bunch of chemicals off-gassing.

Gross.
It’s that or artificially added by using a bit of baby powder.
Literally anything that smells like seafood will make me nauseous
Nauseated. Though as an American I’m about ready to give up on this crusade. Nauseous means you make others want to vomit.

They’ve even got a special note for people like you:
Those who insist that nauseous can properly be used only to mean “causing nausea” and that its later “affected with nausea” meaning is an error for nauseated are mistaken. Current evidence shows these facts: nauseous is most frequently used to mean physically affected with nausea, usually after a linking verb such as feel or become; figurative use is quite a bit less frequent. Use of nauseous to mean “causing nausea or disgust” is much more often figurative than literal, and this use appears to be losing ground to nauseating. Nauseated is used more widely than nauseous when referring to being affected with nausea.
Both are technically correct
Still bugs me though
I hate the smell of raw brown sugar. I like it in foods, and it’s fine cooked, but the raw smell makes me gag.
I like the smell of skunk.
I like the smell of moldy houses. I’ve been told it’s a health hazard, so I don’t engage or encourage it, but when people excuse the smell in their residence, I tell them I like it.
Old musty library!

isopropyl alcohol smells amazing
I like the faint smell of cigarettes from a distance.
I love the smell of alfalfa, I even have scent modifiers in the scent. People think I’m crazy (not that they don’t already).
Cat piss does not smell particularly bad to me.
Maybe it’s toxoplasma speaking.

Dislike lavender. I once passed through a town that produces a lot of lavender, has a festival for it and everything. It was so awful. Lovely area, though.
