when i get something new, regardless of what it is (especially electroncs) i LOVE smelling it! favorites of mine are:

plastic dinosaurs usually purchased from museum shops

school books (especially the old work books made from that grey paper)

when you get new electronics the power cords smell good

the old cartridge nintendo games smelled great just out of the box

tape

cardboard rolls like from inside paper towels and cardboard boxes too

static electricity makes a cool smell too!

anyone else?

I enjoy smelling things too! I've even smelled my bodily wastes before among other things. I tend to like smells that most NT people hate, like gasoline or potting soil. Also, some smells NT people enjoy make me sick, like perfumes and vanilla scented things. Maybe it is related to the different wiring in my brain.

I love the smell of gasoline esp. at a gas station. I don't know why.

I also love the smell of sweet nature. You know, like when it gets moist outside or it just rained.

Same here. I also like the smell of certain modeling clays and cosmetics.

Tread carefully, snorting dust may be less than legal in some regions.

Mmm, me too.

I also find scented candles to be entertaining. I don't buy them, but I like to go to stores that carry the fancy ones and just smell each variety. Sometimes people give me weird looks for doing so.

I do that with essential oils. I go into rapture after sniffing several really good smelling ones in a row.

I LOVE the smell of gasoline and permanent markers. I also have a thing for plastic, books, white-out, fire/smoke, the air after a storm, Pepsi, and...freezers/freezer burn! xD

I think no-one minds his own farts.

I love the smell of paint, new books and new cars. I also like the smell of dirt and dust in my father's car and that weird smell (sand?) in the flat of my grandmother's appartement at the Sea (bring back a lot of good memories) :P

OH MY!! !! i LOOOOOVE the smell of the refrigerated air especially at supermarkets in the frozen food section in the bins where they have the frozen pizzas and such, stick your head below where the cold air settles and it feels like my mind gets taken away somewhere else in a trance (im sure after doing this too much someone actually WILL take me away somewhere else haha)
