ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Olfactophilia

Okay kiddo, olfactophilia is when someone gets really turned on by smells. Some people really like the way certain smells make them feel, and it can be like a really strong attraction for them. It's like when you smell your favorite food and it makes you want to eat it right away - but for olfactophiliacs, it's like that feeling but for all kinds of smells, even ones that might seem weird or gross to us. It's just something that some people really enjoy and it makes them happy.
