Also smell is very tightly connected to memories and this adds more complexity. For example I like perfumes that use the notes of gasoline and some solvents because I liked to play around my grandfathers garage where he stored such stuff. Other people might have negative memories associated with these aromas and will perceive them accordingly.

Most people would disdain that ... perfume.
