Do you have any smell you like/dislike even though most people don't?

I'll start with the fact that I kind of like the smell of gasoline, and also bleach for some reason.

I like the smell of other people. We work so hard to scrub ourselves clean, but I like to smell of people, even sweaty. I ask my spouse not to shower too often, lol. (Not trying to ask them to be super stinky... just a little favor.) I sneak a little smell every time I hug my kids.
IDK if this is popular or not, but I never hear anyone talk about it, so *shrug*
I've noticed that there's good BO and bad BO. I think it depends on which bacteria make up the skin fauna. I can't stand the bad BO but I like the good BO, at least from someone I'm in a sexual relationship with (since you need to be really close to smell it, as it's usually not a strong smell).
The bad BO smell I associate with clothing, towels, or equipment not drying out properly. It can require bleach to get rid of the smell entirely.
The good BO smell I can't really describe.
And ever since I've started using pre- and pro-biotic soap/lotion, I've noticed that I've only had the good BO, even after not showering for a few days. This is an added bonus because I started using it in the first place to successfully clear out a recurring skin infection. And the pro-biotic lotion smells amazing, too.
I've also noticed I like the smell of my arms, which is a different smell entirely. Not sure if it's the skin or the hair. I have to put my nose directly on my arm to smell it.
Seriously! People with a healthy skin fauna smell great.
I think it has a lot to do with how frequently people shower using soap. Showering with just water should be much more common. I use soap only about once a week but shower almost every day. I've never had less issues with body odor.
