Damon reveals the smell that he's secretly obsessed with
There are some smells that most of us can't stand, and some we're weirdly in love with. Damon candidly opened up about one particular smell that he can't get enough of.
Don't turn your nose up for this one. I want you to be honest with me - what smells do you like that you are cautious about admitting in public?
We all have scents that we love, but on the other hand, there are some that we can't handle. For me, it's blue cheese. It makes my tummy turn and leaves a terrible feeling when I catch a whiff of it.
However, there are some strange smells that we're weirdly in love with, but too afraid to publicly admit. I'm going to be honest here and admit that for me, it's petrol. I don't know what it is but each time I'm at a petrol station, I sometimes catch myself enjoying the air.

Well, I did some research and found I am not the only one in the world who loves the smell of petrol. According to Greatist, the smell of petrol "works like an anesthetic to suppress nervous-system function and can bring on a state of euphoria". But I must caution you against intentionally sniffing it. Closely smelling the liquid can be highly toxic if done regularly.
If you think loving the smell of petrol is weird, Buzzfeed has found some other smells that people are weirdly in love with. See below:
- A new tennis ball - I'm not even going to comment on this one.
- Cleaning materials - Because who can resist the smell of that lavender baby softener, right?
- Permanent marker - This is a common one, apparently.
- Grass when it has just been cut - Apparently it has something to do with bringing back memories of childhood.
- New shoes - Because why would anyone love a dirty, smelly, old shoe?
