Bike-related smells that you like

For me, it's disc brake cleaner - reminds me of the board marker pens that they used in school

GT-85.... Like BRUT... Splash it on all over!

Brake Cleaner is a bit dodgy - GT85 however.

Indeed: Bike shop smell. Ironically my shop doesn't have this because the bikes are all used.

GT85 gives me a stonking headache, even in small quantities. It is enough that the bike next to mine in the supermarket rack had GT85 applied recently to cause me problems.

I second GT-85, I also use it in the garden to help keep the local slugs out of my pots.

I like the smell of my farts when I'm giving it the power riding up a steep hill.

However, I prefer them when I'm alone in the car so I can savour them without hysterics from the wife.

Also useful on the bird-feeder pole so the squirrels get half way up and slide back down again 🙃

Dura-glit. Used it to polish chrome bits a very long time ago, but I don't think it's sold anymore.
