I quite like the smell of concentrated HCl

Styrene and Benzene is mesmerising

I was carrying maple syrup and a roll of solder in my backpack and the maple syrup jar broke. The EE lab smelled like pancakes every time I used the syrup solder.

This is your brain on chem.

Benzaldehyde smells so fucking good, I'd honestly get a candle with its smell if I could
>worst
DMSO (or I guess TFA since that shit burns my nose when I encounter it)

DMSO is awesome. Put some of it on your skin, taste garlic in your mouth a few min later. It's less toxic than ethyl alcohol so you could do a shot of it if you wanted.

>best
There is no good smell
>worst
Any recently opened inoculated and incubated plate/slant/tube

No honorable mentions but the microbio lab is just down the hall from the physics department so if someone forgets to close the door, the ventilation can't do its job so they get a nice whiff of dirty socks mixed with rotten meat and get pretty angry.

Burned fluoroacrylate. Makes me cough involuntarily. Also the worst b/c if I smell it, it probably means that we just destroyed a laser worth 6-7 figures.
