You do mean “cast” and not “cats”? How does a cast smell?

(And you hope what goes where?)

The ripe, human-body smell of my body jewelry. I’ve never had a cast, but I’d imagine the scents are similar. It’s odd how interesting the smell of stacked-up skin cells can be (to a certain point, before it gets offensive).

Also, weed and cigarette smoke, when other people are smoking and I am not, both smell incredible. The effect does not happen if I am also smoking at the same time, however – in fact, I find cigarette smoke noxious if I inhale it myself, and weed smells like nothing at all while I’m smoking it.

I thought your question said ” I love the way my CAT smells. lol

Oookay.

I like the smell of hay, and pumpkin spice candles and my perfume collection.

Gasoline. And some cats do smell good.

The cow barn on the UC Davis campus. Partly because I just like it, partly because it reminds me of Kid’s Camp when we lined up on our bikes across the street.

Leather.

The smell of my skin when it’s exposed to the summer air for awhile.

The really old garage down at our summer house. There has been 65 years worth of lawn mowers, engines, tools, pumps etc. that give the garage a unique odour.

And, like @Blackberry, I’ve found the smell of gasoline pleasant.

Old books. Wood shop. The smell of the rain – ozone, I guess.

The body of the person you love, after sex… Pheremones engaged by love are divine scents!

I also read cat instead of casts initially.

I like the smell of lemons, books, leather, coffee, the smell when you strike a match (not sure what that is though), the smell of freshly laundered sheets.

I actually like the smell of skunk.
Reminds me of hikes and camping.

And how a smithy smells.
Dust and hot metal.

@MRSHINYSHOES Dude! You smell yourself? Well smell this…

The smell of brand new carpet.
Cow shit while driving in the country
Burnt bean oil that 2 stroke racing bikes use
Sometimes skunk when it reminds me of killer pot.
Hoppes #9 and Break Free CLP
That European vacuum smell right when I puncture a spam can of surplus ammunition…Pfffftsssssst, mmmmmmmm 54R.
Taste of the Wild dog food, it’s like coffee,steak and chocolate mixed together
the sweet smell of freshly split green firewood
Brand new money
My animals right after I clean their ears with the solution
My barber, she smells a little like kimchi.

Some of the smells at work are quite interesting indeed. There’s a peroxide-based solvent that smells rather nice, especially after the stench of oven cleaner, or the soak tank. The sanitizer – an acidic solution – smells somewhat fruity. Soapy water isn’t a bad smell, either.
I can’t actually smell the chicken that I make, anymore. People tell me that it’s delicious. I figure it’s overexposure to one smell – I am well aware of when they smell wrong – and should reset when I get a new job. I can smell the ribs, but they don’t have much appeal.
I can smell what Bakery is doing, and that is delicious.

Receiving has its own unique smells, mostly of cardboard and engine grease and electric motors. Sometimes battery maintenance leaves a sulphurous odor, which is good for bathroom humor but little else.
