I mean apart from the obvious ones.

My favourite smells:

Mulled wine
vanilla
Pear drops

Hated smells:

Peach air freshener - reminds me of work where they used it to cover up the smell of the cremations. I feel bilious thinking about even now. :(
The smell of my dad's Gitanes cigarettes in the car when I was a teenager

Castrol R two stoke oil when a bike goes by using it, it's a 70's thing but some classic bike still use it and really nice on the seafront on a sunny day when one goes by

Dislike: The smell of obese people in hot weather (I was reminded of this in the queue at my local Tesco yesterday afternoon).

Like: the cooking smell that hits you when walking into an Italian restaurant.

HATE: Cigarette smoke smell

LOVE: Pipe tobacco smell, reminds me of the Goldstone as a kid, also really like the smell when you bust open the gold paper on a new jar of coffee.

Love garlic cooking or, more specifically, the slow roast lamb with garlic and rosemary butter I make on Sundays in Spring. When I was a kid I used to love walking up George Street and smelling the fresh coffee being roasted in the specialist coffee shop that was there, then immediately walking past the fishmongers. Would have been late seventies.

Conversely I hate the smell of fish that isn't fresh and people who have eaten too much garlic. And paint.

Love:
Tar
Creosote
Lavender - the real thing, not air fresheners.
The "clean" smell after it has been really hot and humid and it then rains.
Freshly cut grass.
Basil

Hate:
Beetroot cooking
Parsnips
Out of control toilet smells.
Stale Cigarette smoke
The smell of smokers, even when they aren't smoking but it's still on their clothes.

Another one for tar, fried onions, and those party poppers after they have been used.

I really hate the smell of those jellybean car air fresheners, my wifes fruit squash, and doughnut cooking stalls at Fetes and what have you
