There’s something about that specific, damp, concrete-and-dust smell of a basement that feels like a time machine. And gasoline? I know it’s literal poison, but it hits a very specific part of my brain that says "we’re going on a road trip.

rosetinsel Apr 2, 2026 +56
Totally get this, certain smells just unlock old memories in a way nothing else can. Basements and gasoline both have that weird nostalgic pull for a lot of people

Mine is the smell of the barn at my childhood home. Dust, hay, manure, leather, and some other stuff?? If I focus my mind on that barn, I can smell it. I’ve never smelled anything else like it and it’s like a Time Machine.

Read this and literally just did that. I could even hear the horses blowing in the stalls, impatiently waiting for a scoop of feed.

See my mom HATES what I call "musty basement" but to me it's just so nice? Like a comforting smell 🤔

The smell of gasoline does it for me too. I also associate it with mowing the lawn, which is something I haven't done in several years.

In Scotland, we get that damp stone smell in Castles. A literal Time Machine.

Creosote and the original Jeyes fluid. The smell of shops with leather shoes in the 60s and 70s.

Well right up until it gets smoked. I came back from a sesh in the garage once and my roommate just said "dude did you shit your pants in there?" lmao

I… I cannot relate to this. Are you sure you didn’t shit yourself?

Yeah I was an avid DMT user for a long time. Never smelled literal shit after. Just more mothball smell.

I've always wanted to try DMT, would your grandma hook me up?

Typical_Peanut3413 Apr 2, 2026 +12
Extract your own,its easy a f***. I exterct it all the time. Get yourself some mimosa-hostilis-inner-root-bark Some 6% distilled vinegar Some caustic soda And de ionised water.

Ovary9000 Apr 2, 2026 +16
Damn, thanks! And for my FBI agent, we're just kidding.
16
uponloss Apr 2, 2026 +10
Its all available on amazon, when your on the page for the root bark the other items usually are in the frequently purchased together section. That also means in the Amazon warehouse all the stuff for making DMT is likely on the same shelf lol.

slinkhi Apr 2, 2026 +12
My dad was an editor for a major newspaper when I was a kid. I often went to work with him and got to roam around the building. I loved the smell of the newspapers being printed. Also there were these stations with melted wax in them used for laying out / piecing articles and pictures and stuff onto the newspapers similar to what people do digitally in editors these days. I loved sticking my fingers in that and playing with the wax.
12
Comfortable-Ruin8694 Apr 2, 2026 +10
Me too, i use to print 300 sheets of paper 3 times a day and the smell was intoxicating. Hot ink and paper.

My wife thinks her sweat makes her smell gross but it turns me on

fatbuddha66 Apr 2, 2026 +94
I read somewhere that people who are good genetic matches to you, reproduction-wise, have appealing natural scents to you. I tell my wife this all the time when she’s feeling gross from being sweaty.
94
Nwsamurai Apr 2, 2026 +45
This is absolutely what is happening to me. In the 20 years I have known her, I have NEVER smelled any BO from my wife. And she will excercise every day and garden hard when it's warm out, but she will always smell fresh out of the shower to me. I've mentioned it to her multiple times, but she just thinks it's love.
45
justmerriwether Apr 2, 2026 +30
Yeah, haha it’s literal chemistry - you’re body is picking up on how genetically varied she is from you, meaning your kids have a higher likelihood of inheriting a wider range of genetic immunities from you and your wife’s combined genes. The more overlap there is in someone else’s genetic resistances and immunities, the less new resistances a child between you two would inherit, and thanks to millions of years of evolution, that person won’t smell or taste “good” to you in the way your wife does.
30
Tomytom99 Apr 2, 2026 +8
It's so interesting how despite evolution basically being throwing random mutations at the wall and seeing what sticks, it's been able to develop such complex instincts that our consciousness isn't even fully aware of. Granted it is over a stupidly long period of time, but still, very interesting that such a concept can be coded within genetics.
8
justmerriwether Apr 2, 2026 +6
Yeah, definitely wild! It’s hard not to give evolution some kind of agency or thought process when thinking about it ourselves, but I try and always remind myself that that’s sort of backwards. The reality is that humans with too similar parents (and thus fewer immunities) died at a much higher rate than humans with more genetically diverse parents. At some point there was a mutation (realistically probably may different mutations) in a handful of people that happened to make genetically diverse partners’ smell “good” to them, and this mutation was preserved because it happened to lead to more viable offspring. Like, it’s crazy enough if we imagine that there was some design process behind it, but when you remember that, in reality, it was just a die being rolled so so so so many times that eventually some measurably significant fraction of every possible outcome that could occur did occur, and the ones that worked avoided dying long enough to propagate. The fact that it all boils down to statistical inevitability given enough time is a hard concept to even hold in your head! Science is wild, hahaha
6
Tomytom99 Apr 2, 2026 +3
Similarly, the smaller the gene pool gets, the more unstable it becomes as it's unable to "correct" any mutations between generations, and becomes more prone to developing new traits (for better, or for worse). What's particularly intriguing to me is I wonder if "scent compatibility" is dictated by sight (we see somebody our brain says is beneficially genetically diverse and overrides our olfactory senses) or if it truly boils down to the scent and taste itself (the particular composition naturally being appealing to the olfactory system). I wonder if that's something we'll ever actually be able to figure out. I do have a couple study methods to test it in my head, although they're all slightly flawed in one way or another.

Nightmare_Fart Apr 2, 2026 +15
I will tell my gay partner that apparently we are a good match, reproduction wise, cause we are both turned on by each other's sweat.
15
screamofwheat Apr 2, 2026 +6
I tell the guy I'm seeing how good he smells. It's a natural smell, not musk. He always thinks he needs a shower even when he's clean.
6
BranSh81 Apr 2, 2026 +4
I’m gay too, and I have a different take. Just because we aren’t using our reproduction system in all the same ways that opposite gender couples do, doesn’t mean that purpose of our genitals is not for making humans. Sex for fun is something we all get to enjoy, but we cannot deny that genitals make 23 chromosomes in each germ cell that would combine with 23 others in another for 46 total unique and resequenced chemical bonds, and everything involved is complex. Even tho you may have the same plumbing, you’re still 1/2 of a human reproductively, and so is your partner. Just because you can’t sequence your genes, doesn’t mean you can feel the urge to? As for me, the hotter things heat up with my person the more all of my senses are very happy, and we would have a house full if we could make babies. 🤷‍♂️

Scuggs Apr 2, 2026 +4
Not sure why you got downvoted, everything you said makes sense. Of course these same subconscious things that hetero people experience aren’t missed on gay people. We are all human, crazy that some people think love is exclusive to their worldview
4
BranSh81 Apr 2, 2026 +3
In my community, there is a strong push for Pride, rooted in helping people who may have suffered abuse improve their self importance etc. I think sometimes people misconstrue a difference of opinion as some kind of attack, because of maybe trauma from their upbringing, etc. I don’t get too upset, you never know what someone has been through. Know what I mean?

LucasTheSchnauzer Apr 2, 2026 +12
My(F) wife absolutely loves the way I smell even though I don't understand it. Reproduction wise, we're a terrible match, but have been trying our best.

Cow manure. I was born on a cow farm in upstate NY, first several years of my life was that smell. It’s a very nostalgic smell to me.

Wholesome_Stalker Apr 2, 2026 +26
I thought I was the only one, lol. I grew up on a farm, smelling cows and horses, along with their manure, really reminds me of the good old times.

[deleted] Apr 2, 2026 +6
This works for cows and horses but DOES NOT work for pigs or chickens. lol.

Definitely not the only one. I grew up in a big city too so zero reason to like it.

Hell yeah! Gotta love that country sugar.

This one would disgust a lot of people, but low tide. There's something comforting about the smell of a marsh when the water is low. Like, it's that specific body of water that I grew up playing around, where it's just really earthy smelling.

it's the smell of a living body of water... I totally get it.

Came here to say the same. It has a weird olfactory connection with summer for me. I won’t seek it out or try to get closer to it. But if I smell it I’m like “summer time, baby”
23
MinglewoodRider Apr 2, 2026 +10
I feel like pretty much every pothead eventually enjoys the smell of skunk. I worked down the street from a warehouse that supplied weed to a dispensary and on some damp foggy mornings the entire district smelled just like a skunk.

I agree. Back in the 80’s, my favourite He-Man figure was Stinkor.

Cigarettes taste way better than they smell, cigars smell better than they taste. Personally.

Skunk. It’s not enjoyable like cologne or anything but they’re something oddly earthy and not exactly but almost “refreshing” about it. Only in passing though. I wouldn’t want to have to smell it for a long time

The old metal barrelled black permanent markers. My Papa was a literal jack of all trades, so these markers ran rampant on his desk, next to the recliner, and on every available table when he would have an idea pop up in his head and he could still sketch/write out what he was seeing with no issues. These smells are so dangerous, but so good. I can still smell them. Does anyone else remember these? Namaste to all!

Insulin. Some people apparently can’t smell it…? When my husband takes his shot, I always notice.

Low tide. Some people think it’s gross but to me it means it’s warm out and I’m by the water.

Burnt toast and butterscotch pudding. Reminds me of my Great Grandmother, and being on the dairy farm back in Vermont. I miss her

I low-key love the smell of gasoline; it’s like a weird perfume for adventure, but my therapist says that’s a red flag.

Engine grease. It's not only comforting but helps me sleep when I feel like shit or the grief or insomnia or C-PTSD hits me again. My Daddy was an amazing mechanic of over 30+ years and a stay-at-home Dad. He always was building or rebuilding or fixing cars in his spare time. I'd always join him if I could. But when you hugged him, he smelled like engine grease and that fresh unpolluted air from a mountain forest. The smell was him from the start, and even after losing him to dementia and his broken heart when Mamma died, it still feels like a warm hug and no judgement. So if I hurt too badly or stress or insomnia strikes; I'll go out to my car at night, pop the hood, stick my hand or a paper towel down in between the parts, wrap up in a warm blanket with the scent, and cry until it stops hurting.

Gasoline is great. I also love freshly cut grass even though my allergies suggest otherwise. Also big fan of sunscreen spray.
