A spur from the 'turn offs' thread.
What smells do you HATE - I mean loathe, makes you leave the room, want to puke etc. (We can take rotting flesh and excrement as read I suppose.)
And which would you cross the street, leave your lover, sell your kids to smell?
For me one of the worst is yeserday's beer/whiskey on a person - especially the alcy kind that seems to be oozing out of the person's pores.
The best? Oh, so many. But a total favourite is that old-fashined baker's smell. A mixture of warm bread, sweet icing and a hint of cinnamon. So evocative of my childhood - gawd, it sounds like I remember WWII!

Fish tank/pond filters :sad: Although I cant avoid that if I want my fishes to live
