Most air fresheners have flowery scents. Women like them, I suppose.

How about air fresheners with scents that men like ?

"Steam Locomotive" - Coal, steam, hot oil and metal.

"Racetrack" - Fuel, hot tyres, hot oil and metal, tarmac.

"Aviation" - comes in 2 flavours: Classic - High octane petrol, dope, leather, castor oil Techno - Jet kerosene, hot metal, warm electronics

"Guy Fawkes" -Woodsmoke, fireworks, (over) baked potatoes, treacle toffe.

"Wargames" - nitro powder smoke, crushed vegetation, tea, biscuits, napalm (Oh, i love the smell if napalm in the morning).

Sadly, it doesn't say what it smells like, and probably doesn't actually smell like sweaty athlete. [pottedstu, Jun 13 2002, last modified Oct 21 2004]

This smells like a garage that someone spritzed vanilla into. [mylodon, Nov 03 2008]

       Don't they smell the same?
mcscotland, Jun 13 2002
  

       It's that cheesy, fishy smell that turns me on.

       If you can't stand 360•, join the war on aroma. (see link)

       I'm not being funny, but my favourite smell in the world is the smell of bicycle shops - try it, you'll never look back.   

       How about 'Essence of Uhu' for glue-sniffers?

       "Home Depot" (trademarked, I know, but think of the marketing tie-in). There's lumber, machine oil, vague hint of paint fumes, and the particular smell of the power tools section - wow!
quarterbaker, Jun 13 2002
  

       Quarterbaker: Ooooh, Home Depot .... yes ! When I'm stateside I visit Home Depot and cry inconsolaby over all the 110V 60Hz power tools and the kit that's too darned big to go in my hand luggage.   

       Blissmiss: Duct tape ? Now that brings back a few happy memories ....   

       I thought of another couple - the smell of freshly unpacked PC kit (Quick, nurse, the screens !), and "New Car" although I know they already make that one for giving pre-owned vehicles that "new car" smell ......

       Cofee! Liked by almost all?

       sawmill, hammond, cigar, leather, books, winter: all manner of extinct or endangered species :-(

       [po] heh

Creosote - actually I know someone who has purposely made their shed smell of creosote.
hippo, Nov 03 2008
  

       I like "warm electronics" idea. All this low temperature surface-mount stuff they make these days doesn't smell nearly as good as the old seventies tellys with the hot circuit boards.
wagster, Nov 03 2008
  

       Do you mean the smell of solder flux or burning dust?
hippo, Nov 03 2008
  

       WD40 - it's already in an aerosol. Just find some way to remove the oil and solvent and keep the more volatile chemicals.
Srimech, Nov 03 2008
  

       I must say, the aroma of recently detonated military-grade high-explosives has always made me swoon. That and burnt black powder. [+]
MikeD, Nov 03 2008
  

       Soldiers always smell of gun oil, swaeat and tobacco smoke. Makes 'em easier to find if you're an insurgent with a keen nose.
UnaBubba, Nov 03 2008
  

       [hippo] - I think the smell was 70% burning dust, 20% solder flux, 10% sweat of underpaid Japanese worker and 100% "School is over for the day, I have a hot chocolate and Rainbow is on in five mins".
wagster, Nov 03 2008
  

       Magic purple smoke. [LIST ALERT!]
Spacecoyote, Nov 03 2008
  

       Week old sweat socks. Hey [UB] you could use it in the Socketorium and bring in the jocks.
