Stop it. Get some help.

The alcohol and other chemicals used in perfume used to spread the scent in most perfumes does stink to high heaven, not sure if it is worse than gasoline however.

The best smell is oil. Nothing like the smell of WD40.

Gasoline uses benzene as an anti-knock agent.

Benzene is sweet smelling and used in after-shaves back in the 1930s.

However, sniffing Gasoline is a form of substance abuse and should be avoided. You will start getting memory lost, and changes in your consciousness, etc.

As for perfumes, most of them are alcohol based with non-smelling Vodka, then mixed with essential, fragrance, or infused oils. Those can be from plants, fruits, or wood, etc. You can't really say they all smell bad, as it will just depend on what one you like over another.

What you are really after is Benzene. Yet that can be harmful, so rather it's a 2-phenylethanol (a rose oil component) and benzaldehyde (an almond/cherry aroma).

Consider Ford Mach-E GT premium fragrance for men. It will smell just like your beloved Benzene / Gasoline, with a touch of smokiness and rubber.

"Charlie" original is irresistible to me. I doubt they even sell it anymore or it's just not popular. I like a bit of GIO or KC Black on the inner wrists every now and then. It definitely beats fighting with a flooded out lawnmower on a hot summer day.

Gasoline Smells Better Than Perfume

You should've smelled the gas when it had led in it, red and yellow

Blame it on the benzens.

i prefer brakleen. i feel it really gets to those hard-to-reach brain cells.
