Generally I am okay with most smells. I can't walk down the detergent and cleansers aisle at the grocery store though and I avoid those smelly bath stores at the mall.

For me though there are several smells that I can't handle that are overpoweringly strong to me and trigger strong emotional responses. These smells bring back a sense of dread: bacon and eggs, vapour rub, and the combination of diesel and dirty oil.

On the other hand there are smells that trigger warm cozy memories: the salty air of a warf, the pine fresh scent of a forest, and the smell of line dried laundry.
