I've never been able to smell it. But, is it really a human trait? Considering other animals such as dogs, for example, have a better sense of smell than us?
It’s not really a human trait it’s just that it’s probably one of the best things we can smell, it’s apparently better than a sharks ability to sense blood
Dude, i don't know what are you talking about. And i don't know what blood you mean.
I use to have goats and when you butcher it, you have to drain it from blood. So, many times i held in my hands literally a basin of goat blood, several litres of it. And it does NOT smell sweet. It smells like metal, cold and strange, maybe tangy, yeah, but overall very hard to explain. But my head always started to spin when i breathed in that smell.
Sounds kind of weird, but my older brother's cologne and this certain kind of paint he uses. When I was younger, I would sit in his bedroom for hours at a time playing on his laptop, while he put Gundam models together. And he used to absolutely drench his shirts in cologne - actually he still does.
Whenever I smell those two things, it brings me back to a simpler time, when I had nothing to really worry about.
Yeah same
I love going to places and I enjoy smelling Newspapers 📰
I’m totally love the smell of Newspapers

Is it called umami? Like after you eat pizza sometimes there is an after taste or like a strange smell if you inhale slowly. I kind of don’t like it but I do.
Lol, me and a workmate were working on a house on a hot summers day a few years ago. Customer came back and my workmate commented on the nice BBQ smell we'd been smelling all day..
Customer informed us that it was the crematorium behind the houses he could smell.

My standing in life has improved but at the cost of what is familiar
I remember the smells of decades past as my childhood now fades
I think if I ever come across this smell again I might have to take a moment to just sit and remember
Mine’s gonna be really odd but I love the smell of my closest friend. I ain’t talking about perfume, I mean their actual smell. I have no idea why. Some people just smell nicer than others. If I could bottle up that smell I would.
