when in the morgue, we used to use eucalyptus oil to try and disguise the smell, especially if it was a bad one. didn't work very well.

(slightly funny and black side to it all was seeing all these old dottery grandmothers walking around with eucalyptus oil burners... the smell of death! )
you worked in a morgue!

Hated the smell of asparagus soup for a while, as reminded me of a guy trying to suck my face off in Tenerife when I was 16, his breath stank of it!

freshly cut grass in the summer, at my junior school in the summer we could go up on the playing field rather than the playground, when they cut the grass we'd run around having grass fights and making camps and stuff, fantastic days.

Oh and skunk, love that smell.
