Vox QotD: Inhaling Fumes
The smell of gasoline: Love it or hate?
My husband comes home after flights smelling of aviation, a strong component of which is fuel (coupled with sweat and NOMEX). The olfactory sense is closely tied with emotional centers in the brain, so that scent has some surprisingly pleasant associations--surprising given that I don't much care for the smell on its own merits. It is rather pungent.
