    I like how bananas smell, but I don't like the artificial banana smell.

    baby lotion
    baby shampoo
    baby powder
    babies' heads/bodies

    ...wow I sound a bit mental. Suffice it to say I'm a non-parent and will remain that way ;-)

    I am also just not crazy about fruity scents like apple and strawberry or raspberry. I do not like most scented candles and I detest the fruity ones.

    A lot of perfume smells horrible to me too.

    Air Freshener. I would rather smell the funk of 1000 dumps than one spray of Glade Potpourri.
    most Scented Candles. They make me wheeze.

    I feel similarly -- especially about air freshener sprays. I am so glad my husband feels similarly. My mom's the type to spray half a can of Glade after a poo. Ewww. We do have scented hand soap in our bathroom (Mrs. Meyer's rhubarb or basil) that makes it smell nice though.

    Cheap or knock-off colognes or perfumes; especially when people seem to have bathed in them.

    Red Bull and other energy drinks. If someone opens a can in the same train carriage as me in the morning I dry heave.

    Oh, and anything described as "fruits of the forest". Barf!

    This is funny to me because I work at a zoo...when tigers spray their urine it smells like buttered popcorn. LOL. Just a little trivia for you.

    Fresh baked Subway bread. Hork. Do not want.

    I do like their flatbread on occasion...but the regular Subway bread baking smells SO GROSS to me too.

    Several years ago I went to Subway for lunch wearing a denim jacket. Hours later when I got off work, I was standing in the crowded post office and I felt completely disgusted by what I thought was the smell of vomit very strong in the air. After leaving the post office I realized the horrible smell was ME!! It was my jacket, scented by the Subway bread smell.

    Eww

    The smell of scrambled eggs cooking makes me nauseous every time! Oddly, I am fine with eating them.
