We all enjoy certain guilty pleasures without telling anyone. Weird smells for example, is something we all love but never confess to it. However, it’s more common than you thought. These 5 weird smells we all secretly love, even if we don’t necessarily brag about them.
Wet Cement
After a rainy night, the smell of the ground the next morning is so refreshing. Now imagine walking by a construction site, and smelling wet cement. Yes, this is a smell that we all share liking it, but only a few of us admit the truth.
Gasoline
We are not ashamed, gasoline smells amazing! Wether your are the one pumping gas or relaxing in the back seat, you enjoy those few minutes at the gas station. Gasoline is in fact one of weirdest smells that most people love. Furthermore, according to experts, the reason behind the ”nice” smell of gasoline, is the chemical hydrocarbon called benzene. Although too much benzene can kill you, the smell of it can be euphoric sometimes.
Glue
First of all, although the smell of glue is tempting, it’s a very dangerous substance. Glue may have one of the weirdest smells, yet we secretly love it. Moreover, some people can get ”high” or a temporary euphoria, which make them become addicted to sniffing toxic chemicals!
Fresh Paint
A freshly painted room is heaven for weird smells lovers! In fact, there is a logical explanation behind it. Paint includes hydrogen and carbon, which contain compounds that are very similar to sugar. So if you find yourself attracted to the smell of fresh paint, it’s most likely because you are a fan of ” alcoholic spirits” also.
