it depends on 2-3 factors. Firstly, your DNA structure. If you like the smell of Gasoline, then Iam quite sure you also like the smell of old socks. You might say its disgusting, you might think its disgusting, but the truth is, inside you know it pops the curiosity bubble. However, if you like the smell of Gasoline, check with your parents, 99% one or both of them like it too. There are certain protein cells released in your brain when you breath in Gas fumes which give you an instant feeling of being high, something like inhaling paint thinner. You may want to remember that the reason no smoker ever gets addicted to nicotine patches, but only to cigarettes (although both contain the same amount of nicotine) is because nicotine hits your brain like a dagger only when inhaled (your lungs being the culprit). Similarly, gas fumes instantly sedate a few cells in your brain and this sedation (similar to smoking, drinking) is pleasurable.

Some people may find the smell of gasoline appealing due to its association with the feeling of excitement or adventure, like when filling up a vehicle for a road trip. It can also trigger a nostalgic response for those who associate the smell with memories from childhood or other positive experiences. Additionally, the chemical compounds in gasoline can activate certain receptors in the brain that create a pleasant sensation for some individuals.

Some peoples feet smell like oranges why?

Some people's feet may have a scent resembling oranges due to a condition called "bromodosis," which is caused by sweat mixing with bacteria on the skin. The bacteria break down sweat and produce compounds that can give off a fruity odor, similar to oranges. Proper foot hygiene can help reduce this smell.

Do some people smell their chickens?

Not quite sure what you mean here. Farmers who work with chickens very quickly lose the ability to smell what visitors can smell around the farm. The odor of manure is quite unpleasant to visitors but to farm workers it is the smell of hard work, life and a sustainable income for his family. If you mean do they sniff their chickens, well, not usually. There is no real need to smell the chickens. They usually keep pretty clean bathing in the dust, rustling around in the hay and straw. They can't smell too bad since you will often see farm kids carrying a hen around and cuddling it like any other household pet.
