Olfactory Hate List

Little Dove's post somehow got me to post a list of things that I totally HATE to smell.
  1. Rotiboy
  2. Lovely Lace
  3. J. Co Donuts
  4. Bread Talk
  5. St. Cinnamon / Cinnabon

You'll notice that 80% of the list is bakeries. I just can't stand the 'stench'. It's not that I don't like the smell of fresh pastries and bread, but the 'aroma' from these places is too concentrated. Makes me wanna hurl. As for cinnamon, there's just something I don't like about it. The reason why I hate Rotiboy? The same reason why people like it. And frying doughnut batter in lard? So greasy! Lovely Lace has a special place among my tahi hidung. The powdery fragrance that emanates from their shop (it travels one floor up and one floor down) can really cause me to suffocate and end up with a sneezing fit! There you have it.

I equally hate Lovely Lace. But I love the smell of cinnamon!

One of my most hated smell (but unavoidable) is latex...

Totally agree with you. Too much of it turns them into despised gunky smells. Somehow, I cannot stand rotiboy, probably coz my staff went gaga over it over a long period of time. Every afternoon, I cringed at the thought of its strong presence at the workplace.

Lovely Lace gives me headache. But that's only when I can my olfactory senses are working, which is not very often. Nasal congestion has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

@Evann:
Even when my nose is blocked, the smell of Lovely Lace permeates through the mucous!

@Jase:
Evil! :P

Didn't know you don't like all these smells. So it's more of the concentration than the smell itself?
