Whenever I'm driving past roadworks where new road is being laid out, I open my car window to smell the gorgeous smell of tarmac. It is such a beautiful organic smell. Does anyone else like the smell?

    I love the smell of tarmac, and petrol/gasoline! I find it strange when people say the smell of it repulses them. I guess thats not as odd as the guy i know who like the smell of cow shit in the fields... i find that repulsive.

    You might like using "coal tar soap". I am not sure if you can buy it in the states.

      I am from the UK not US, do they sell coal tar soap in UK? I like the smell of tarmac, but I don't want to go around smelling like it, lol.

      Hmm, gasoline, I love that smell as well, especially when I'm filling up my car, I wish I could just put my nose by the petrol nozzle and sniff it while I'm filling up, but I'd look silly :)

    I love it, I often thought I would like to work on a paving crew just to enjoy the smell.

      lol, that's funny. If you worked on a paving crew, I'm sure you'll get bored of the smell after a while
