I’ll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.
Cologne or perfume on a human. Stop. It’s not nice, I don’t want to smell you.
I’m not a fan of the “new car smell”, for some reason. The “new computer smell”, on the other hand, is a rare treat.
When I was a kid, my grandparents got a new car. I got sick in it all the time because of it. I hate that smell to this day - but at least I don’t get sick anymore.
I’ve always found the new car smell to be very unpleasant, which makes sense since I’m pretty sure it’s just a bunch of chemicals off-gassing.
they even make new car smell scent that you can put in used cars. if they want to go overboard they’ll pour it down the air vents
Gross.
Spent gunpowder smells absolutely lovely.
While not particularly good, it’s not bad either: I’m immune to the smell of cow dung. Pig, sheep, horse, etc smell horrible. But Cow shit is perfectly OK. Guess which animal I grew up with.
New car smell, it’s awful. Sort of stale plastic if I were to describe it.
Amplified by long trips on bad roads as kid. Guaranteed to make you feel like vomiting on some sections. Now when I anticipate/pack for a trip I tend to smell that again even though I’m not even in a car.
Oddly sweaty people, not like a sour unwashed sweat, but a showered person just lightly sweating on a warm day is weirdly endearing.

That is not nearly unpopular.
For me, pure Isopropyl alcohol (as in not part of some product). Reminds me of doctor’s office when I was a kid, and I like it.
Literally anything that smells like seafood will make me nauseous
Nauseated. Though as an American I’m about ready to give up on this crusade. Nauseous means you make others want to vomit.

They’ve even got a special note for people like you:
Those who insist that nauseous can properly be used only to mean “causing nausea” and that its later “affected with nausea” meaning is an error for nauseated are mistaken. Current evidence shows these facts: nauseous is most frequently used to mean physically affected with nausea, usually after a linking verb such as feel or become; figurative use is quite a bit less frequent. Use of nauseous to mean “causing nausea or disgust” is much more often figurative than literal, and this use appears to be losing ground to nauseating. Nauseated is used more widely than nauseous when referring to being affected with nausea.
